Sled Work gets an Upgrade!

Well, not that kind of dog sled.  THIS kind of dog sled.  I went online and bought 100 feet of rope, dug deep into my almost two decade old scout training and braided an eyelet into it, and made myself a pulling rope to add to the end of my sled work.  Me Gusta!

I crammed a lot into my workout today, doing a bit of a hybrid of a Friday and a Saturday workout.  I did all of Fridays and some of Saturdays.  It was great, but I have a feeling I am going to be dead tonight and tomorrow.  I am still not 100% over the illness I have been fighting for nigh on 2 weeks now.

I am still not certain how I am going to handle the 3 vs 4 day weeks... I guess the deciding factor will be what my workout partner can do with our schedules.  I am back to thinking I will do Squats, Bench, Rows and Chins Mondays and Fridays of every week, with DLs, Presses, Chins and Curls every Wednesday.

I jumped a bit up in weight and added an extra set to DLs, and it felt AMAZING.

Have I mentioned I love Deadlifts before?  Haha!  Yes??  WELL - I DO!!

I did a 5x5 on Press that felt fine.  Chins and Curls also felt fine.

I did 2 sets of Sled Pushes, following up each push immediately by Sled Rope Pulls.  Like I said: Me Gusta!

I ended my workout with some Farmer Walks.  I did 100lbs in each hand and had to put it down at the end of the sidewalk, half way on the return trip, and again with maybe 15 feet left.  I'll go down to 95 next time - looks like a ten pound jump while adding rope work was a bit too much since I want to be doing three trips and couldn't finish one without stopping.
