I had a day of leisure today. Later: basketball game between UIC (who was favored) and Bradley.
The back-and-forth contest was tied at the half (28-28; UIC had a 3 point shot disallowed after review due to a shot clock violation) and it was 44-44 going into the 4’th. But then BU pulled away and won 65-54. Bradley played great defense in the paint, mercilessly harassing the UIC forwards and centers.
BU is by no means a good team, but at least this year, BU would be fairly be called “bottom of the midpack” of the Missouri Valley Conference. They are no longer an automatic win for a MVC team.
Before that, I had a long weight workout (2 hours, but I took tons of rest) and a 2 mile walk at just under 16 minutes per mile (I tend to speed up with knee braces)
I may have overdone it a little; tonight will tell. I have some barely perceptible soreness.
Pull ups: ok, these were just plain hard. 2 sets of 5 singles, then 8 sets of 5, with 3-4 sets being chin up sets (harder for me, but better bicep activation). It was in the 20’s with a wind.
Bench press: 5 x 134, 2 x 155, 1 x 165, miss at 175, make at 175, 10 x 145 (hard)
1 inch bar deadlift: 10 x 105, 10 x 149, 10 x 193
Olympic bar deadlift: 10 x 225 (not that hard) slight residual lumbar soreness later; mostly glutes and hamstrings.
High incline: 3 sets of 10 x 94
curl: 3 sets of 10
