Chest/Triceps

Bench Press

Lifting your body weight is supremely satisfying. Chest is blasted!

These were great. Was reaching failure at the end of my sets

A bit sloppy after the heavy pushdowns.

Decline Bench Press

I'll be smoked tomorrow

Pretty standard. Felt the pump by the end.
9 PM

Core 20:00 [5]

2 Minutes of Sit-ups (84)
100 Sit-ups
4x 30 four count flutter kicks
100 crunches
3 minutes of "by the numbers"
1:30 of 6 inches

Lots of stretching interspersed as well.

Note

As mentioned before I took a hard fall on my knee on the course. Walking isn't much an issue but putting weight on it while it is bent is. Namely, going up and down stairs is a bit unpleasant. Opted not to run on it to be safe and if it hurts through tomorrow I'll go see the trainer. Hoping it's just a bad bruise.

I had an epic fall on the way to point 2, knee was throbbing pretty bad afterwards but Rangered on. Moved slowly and had a couple of bad points. Finished dead last... how nice... Very frustrated with this sport.

Orienteering race (Middle) 55:05 [5] 4.8 km (11:29 / km)
shoes: Icebugs

No big errors, but I had trouble with route choice and staying in contact with the map. My sense of direction was really skewed too. I was surprised which way north was a bunch.

I had an interesting chat with MAJ Kramer about leg lifting and orienteering. Long story short I won't be able to put a lot of mass or strength gains if I want to continue to run at the level I'm at. He recommended that my best bet might be to do high reps at a lower intensity (4-5 sets of 10-12 reps each) so that I wouldn't completely smoke my legs. Here goes nothing.

SQUATS

4 PM
