POW's CrossFit Log
A little history:
I've done some variation of a split routine on and off through undergrad/law school, but have always be

Sleep was terrible. I would've slept in and taken a rest day if I thought I could have fell back asleep. All that considered, this was an ok workout.

170 split squat proved to be just too heavy. I wouldn't mind dropping weight even further and doing higher reps but then I reach cardio respiratory failure before muscular failure, which kinda defeats the purpose.
8/3/24
Seated plate loaded row: 250x12, 11, 8, 200x15, 8
DB preacher curl: 25x13, 11, 11

Bayesian curls: 52.5x13, 11, 9
Calf raises: +50x20, 17, 15, 15
Preacher curls are weird. The first few reps on the concentric feel like I'm doing nothing. By the time I'm done though, it burns quite a bit, especially at the lengthened portion of the lift.

Cable lateral raises: 35x10, 7+1, 5, 30x8
Behind the back raises: 3x10x25
Cable flies (high): 65x16, 12, 8

Leg extensions: 205x12, 10, 9, 8
Incline treadmill: 30 minutes (126 HR)
Recording leg press sets by plates per side gets clunky if you're doing something other than whole plates.
I suppose there wasn't a whole lot of glutes in this workout but that's ok; I'm never getting on a stage in a thong, and split squats will hit glutes later in the week in any event.
Everything felt pretty good.
8/7/24
Lat pulldown: 165x12, 7+5, 10
Seated plate loaded row: 260x12, 8, 210x10, 10, 10

Katana extensions: 40x6, 30x9
Ab wheel: 2x5
Incline treadmill: 26 minutes (103 HR)
I decided to try 60 second rests between tricep pushdown sets and liked it. I normally rest 90 seconds between most sets but it just seems unnecessarily long for iso exercises.
8/9/24
Prone leg curls: 110x13, 8, 8, 8
Adductors: 100x25, 130x17, 15, 15

Supinated straight bar seated cable row: 165x10, 8, 120x12
Lat prayers: 125x11, 10, 10
Bayesian curls: 3x10x50
Pretty lackluster session. Sleep wasn't great and had a headache. Tried supinated cable rows for the first time and really didn't like them. Neutral grip or pronated just feels the best for me.
About to take a one week vacation. I definitely plan on staying active but might ease up on lifting a little, especially if the hotel gym is as I expect it to be. We'll see.
8/17/24

Walked/hiked just about every day this past week, but took the last 7 days completely off from lifting. Eased back into things today.

Bought versa gripps and used them for first time today. They were a little pricey, but what a difference they make from my 11+ year old iron mind straps.

Shot around 25 minutes (126 average HR)
Was hoping for some rep prs today but it wasn't meant to be. I was also going t o do Bayesian curls, but I was cooked after lat prayers, so decided to just do calf raises and quit.

I rested 60 seconds between sets on tricep exercises, hence the drop off in reps between sets.
