06.30.18 - Day 2 of 100 - jump rope, row, squats, deadlifts

FAT


Workout:
500m Row
2 X 10 Air Squats
2 X 50 Single Skips
3 X 5 Back Squats (#95)
1 X 5 Deadlifts (#135)


The row was incredibly difficult. I started out thinking that I would do a slow 2K row but about 200m in I realized that wasn't happening. So 500m slow and easy is my baseline. I think my goal for the row should be to do a 1K row a few days from now and a 2K row in about 2 weeks. 

The jump rope was quite a bit easier. I'll move it up to 3 sets tomorrow. 

The back squats weren't very hard, but we'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. I'd like to move up to #135 in a few days, but I'm not sure if that's smart. 

The deadlifts weren't heavy exactly but the movement was very awkward and had me breathing hard. 

Overall, it was actually a decent workout, or mini-workout.

Day 1 of 100: Super-Low Work Capacity

FAT

Workout:

Jump rope 2 X 40 single skips

KB Swings 2 X 12 #35

Bench Press:

5 reps at 95

5 reps at 115

5 reps at 135

Shrugs

3 x 5 at 42.5 (two dumbbells) 

My baseline work capacity is incredibly low, but I think I can raise that dramatically in just a few weeks. This is the result of basically not working out at all for two straight years. Why do I do this to myself? This has to be a form of mental illness. 

I think I'm heavier maybe than I've ever been. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm pushing 290 right now. Obviously, just getting that down will ramp up my wc. 

Food:
