Thursday - Bench, Squats, Row

This workout wasn't on the schedule but since the Squat rack was taken when I wanted to use it, I improvised and included Bench and Rows and discarded conditioning today. Tomorrow I will condition and Saturday I will run. 

The thinking behind not just making today an upper body day and saving Squats for tomorrow is that I want to run on Saturday and I don't want to do legs two days in a row, then rest, then Deadlift. Improvisation and flexibility is key.

Last point is that I was feeling a little bit burnt out this morning and didn't want to Squat heavy. I may take tomorrow off, run Saturday and rest again on Sunday. Work has been stressful and maybe I need to treat myself well. We shall see how I feel tomorrow morning.

Time: 40 minutes

Warm Up: 50 jumping jacks, 40 squats, 30 sit ups, 20 push ups, 10 burpees

Bench: 5@10 / 5@20 / 3@27.5 / 3@35 / 3@45 / 3@52.5

Squat: 5@32.5 / 5@45 / 3@60 / 3@72.5 / 3@85 / 3@100 / 10@45 ** my last set of 3 was ugly so I ropped the weight and made sure I did 10 with 45s with good form. Need to keep this in mind for next week.**

Row: 5@10 / 5@20 / 3@27.5 / 3@35 / 3@45 / 3@52.5 **felt very strong on these**
