Conditioning

I got to the gym late this afternoon and made up a conditioning session on the spot, to make up for yesterday's excessive eating.

Hang cleans; relative max reps
95lb x 12, 10, 9, 7, 6

My forearms and failing grip forced me to quit each time.

3 circuits; 90 seconds rest between sets:
Kettlebell figure of 8s x 10 for each side
Alternating dumbbell snatches x 10 per arm
20 burpees

I was a heaving puddle of sweat by the end.

3 sets; 60 seconds rest between sets:
10 x barbell twists
15 x decline sit-ups

Conditioning and upper body

Goddamn box jumps! Started today's PT session with a punishing circuit. I'm not sure of the proper name for some of these moves.

3 sets:
35 kettlebell swings
25 kettlebell figure of eights
20 kettlebell crunches
1 minute of kettlebell bicycles (lying down, holding the weight up while doing cycle movements with my legs)
10 box jumps @ 28"

I took breaks when I needed to, in order to catch my breath. The box jumps were going well until I took a breather after four reps in the third and final set. When I went to move again, I couldn't get my feet off the ground! My mental block resurfaced. Despite Cosmo telling me not to think too much, that, of course, is exactly what I did. I eventually removed one step from each side so that I could finish off the last six reps, but even that felt like a mental hurdle. 

2 sets: Bench press pyramid
8 reps each @ 135lb, 115lb and 95lb

Lots of assists were needed!

Concentration curls @ 25lb

That might seem light, but slooooow movements are a killer.
