Drylands

I did decide to join LA Fitness. I was SO happy to drive somewhere that was less than 10 minutes from my house. I think the convenience will help keep me on track.

RC/scap ex, 10 min
russian twist on incline bench w/plate, 25 x 1 x 25
flutter kicks on bosu, 2 x 100
captains chair leg raises, 3 x 15
squat jumps w/bar, 45 x 2 x 8
altitude drops, 8
hip abductors, 90 x 3 x 8
HS hi row, 130 x 3 x 8
supine bench press, 40 x 3 x 12
extreme angle step ups w/bar, 35 x 3 x 10
explosive leg press, 175 x 2 x 15
good mornings, 65 x 3 x 8


Stretching/Yoga, 30 minutes


Swim/SCY @ Pitt

I went to my masters practice early just to get in an easy swim. I did around 2000. I did a few 25 flys @ 100 pace and I did 2 x 50 breast w/fins @ 100 pace. I went 28s on those -- fixing my pull must help. Maybe on day I'll work on my kick ...

    Does your LA Fitness also have a pool?

    You can join the most posh club that there is, but if you never go to that gym, it is of little use to you
    I note very often how the 24 Hour near my house is super convenient (about 2 miles away), although it certainly is far from posh. After swimming in that pool, most others seem like paradise.

    It does have the typical LA Fitness pool -- crappy and 3 1/2-5 feet deep. But there is an adjacent whirlpool. It would Ok for an easy post weights recovery swim.

    Yes -- convenience is everything. I wish I had a closer quality pool ...

    Those supines benches are with dumbells right? Do you hold them with palms facing each other or towards the feet? That's about the weight I use by the way, you're a powerhouse.

    I do them with palms facing each other. 40 lbs (2 DBs) isn't much. I was doing them with 30 lb DBs way back when ...
