Took a few days off as the heel was feeling better, so I decided to take it easy, let it get better then get back into it. Did 15 minutes on the speed bag yesterday, solid rhythm but time to work on something more than just circle punches.
Beginning of my "Back to Basics" routine, focusing solely on getting my gym lifts and base strength levels up. Using Hoffman's Standards to judge the majority of my lifts, trying to get to Bronze or Silver in all of them. Went a bit lighter than normal to get back into it, see how the heel holds up.
10/02/2006 GYM WORKOUT:
ATG Back Squats: 165x5, 190x4, 215x3, 240x2, 265x1.
265 went up without too much trouble, so 270 next time. 275x2 is my personal best, my goal this time around is to hit 325 (Bronze standard, based off of Hi Bar Squats).
Good Mornings: 135x3, 165x3, 195x3/3/3.
205 next time, these weren't bad at all. My best to date is 245 for a single. No standard set by Hoffman, so I'm looking to do over 300 by the end of this.
Power Jerks: 95x3, 125x3, 155x3/3/3.
160 next time, these were tough but doable. My wrist flexibility needs some work. My best is 185 for a single, looking to get well over 200 by the end of this (240 is the Bronze standard for clean and jerk, so that's what I'm using for power jerks).
Weighted Dips:
(BW+75 = 185+75 = 260) x3/3/3/3/3.
80 next time, these kicked my ass but I got them all so it's time to go up.
Going to go do some gripwork in a bit then hit up Kyokushin Karate tonight.
