Wednesday/Thursday

So, bad night's sleep on Tuesday night so I didn't get up and train with James on Wednesday morning.  But I did train later in the day.  James trained using the Bear protocol, which is the following:

Barbell (30kg in our case)
Clean, Front Squat, Push Press, Back Squat, Push Press
You do that seven times, then you put the bar down.

You do 5 sets

James managed 4 in the morning.

I did 3 Long hill sprigs in 7.12.38
Then did the beat
First set: 1.49
Second set: 1.50
Third set: 1.57

No way I was getting a 4th set.

Rested 1.10 between each set (well, 1.11 after the first set)
Total time: 7.57 (including turning stop watch off time)

Sweaty as hell and draining.

That night we did grappling and throwing from the clinch at jujitsu.  A great session but it was so hot and muggy.

We knocked it on the head early and then headed over to 'The Eager Beaver', a Canadian bar we'd heard about.  Good place with a good selection of beer (expensive mind) and good nachos.  We'll be returning there on Saturday night!

Today has been a day of sleeping, reading and chilling to the max.  Needed.  Tomorrow beckons with more adventures!  And Saturday is Island Hopping!

  1. Gonna hit The Bear again on Sunday. I feel stronger in my shoulders from doing it on Weds. Feels good! 5 sets completion next time!
