Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 150

Day 150 This week I returned to a somewhat unstructured workout plan. This meant I had to take into account what I had already done this week when choosing today's workout. Monday I got back to heavier lifting with some dead-lifting and bench pressing. On Tuesday I crushed myself with a quick metabolic style crossfit workout and last night I joined in with my group for a big circuit. With all that in mind, I decided to do some heavy chin-ups and other upper body pulling movements for today's workout. I thought about including some squatting, but my legs were pretty fried from the last couple days, so I decided to save them for another day.

Today's Workout:

Exercise 1: Weighted Chin-ups 5 sets / 6 - 8 reps / 301 tempo / 2 min rest Set 1: 45lbs x 8 reps Set 2: 45lbs x 8 reps Set 3: 45lbs x 8 reps Set 4: 45lbs x 7 reps Set 5: 45lbs x 7 reps

Exercise 2: Wide Grip Bent-Over Barbell Row 4 sets / 8 - 10 reps / 2011 tempo / 2 min rest Set 1: 135lbs x 10 reps Set 2: 145lbs x 10 reps Set 3: 155lbs x 8 reps Set 4: 155lbs x 8 reps

Exercise 3: 1 Arm Db Row 3 sets / 8 - 10 reps per side / 301 tempo / 90 sec rest Set 1: 85lbs x 10 reps per side Set 2: 85lbs x 10 reps per side Set 3: 85lbs x 10 reps per side

Well, for my 150th workout it wasn't particularly epic, but I was pretty happy with my chin-up strength. I have 33 more workouts until I will pass the halfway mark for the year. I'm feeling pretty good about the way things are going. My body feels healthy and I seem to be in a pretty good flow as far as getting the workouts in. I haven't felt rushed or pressured to get them in lately, which certainly makes things more enjoyable. The next few days are still up the air as far as whats next, but I'm pretty sure they will involve some squatting and some cardio.
