workout 2014-02-14
Feb. 15th, 2014 00:07just finished watching "sherlock", which was absolutely amazing. i don't think i've ever seen a better interpretation, and cumberbatch is an astonishing actor.
it's a mistake to watch "elementary" right afterwards. it's too american. it's too formulaic. it feels a bit like a hipper remake of "monk". it's probably relatively decent compared to most other episodic crime dramas, but i can't appreciate it much after "sherlock".
but i applaud the choice of a woman as the iconic sidekick, and i like that it's a non-caucasian woman to boot. even though i am torn, because the deep friendship between the two men is also something special and rare, in particular as it is played in "sherlock". i seriously, seriously hope they won't make it romantic in "elementary"; i'd hate that.
40 days: day 30 (week 5)
workout A
Warmup
2x5 bodyweight squat
5:00 min ATG squat
still not sleeping well, but enough so i don't feel totally wiped when i work out.
Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP)
2x10 @ 45 lb
2x8 @ 55 lb
volume: 1780
weird. even the empty bar felt somewhat heavy today. so i kept the working weight low and did a few more reps.
Barbell Deadlift
2x5 @ 105 lb
2x8 @ 145 lb
volume: 3370
was originally gonna up the working weight today, but since OHP felt heavy, decided to keep it and just up the reps by a few. that was no problem.
Rotational Kettlebell Deadlift
2x10 @ 43 lb
volume: 860
no change.
Two-Arm Kettlebell Swing
2x20 @ 28
volume: 1120
no change.
One-Arm Dumbbell Row
6x10 @ 32 lb
volume: 1920
since i'd been easy on the weight with OHP and DL, i decided to leave the dumbbell at its last 5-3-2 weight and do shorter sets again. i don't know what i don't like about sets of 15; it just feels boring. i'll never be a body builder. ;)
total volume: 9050 lb.
total volume for week 5: 41144 lb.
