Saturday was largely a rest day at Capitola, but I did get in some great ocean swimming on an unusually waveless day. I swam out an appreciable distance (well past the point of losing ground contact) and it ended up being about a 10 minute swim. Since I tend to sink like a stone and have to power through the water to stay afloat, it was a good workout. Got a lot of walking in before heading home.

Sunday:

Overhead press

135 x 5

155 x 5

175 x 4 + 3

135 x 8, 8, 10, 8

Neutral grip chin-ups 

Bw x 10

15 x 10

30 x 10, 10, 10

Band pressdowns: 3 x 10

Super-set with keg curls: 3 x 10

Monday:

Deadlifts

375 x 5

445 x 5

505 x 6

Kettlebell split squats: 50s x 3 x 10

Super-set with reverse hyper single-leg curls: 8 plates x 3 x 10

The 6th rep of 505 came after a rest-pause and was a hard-fought rep. Felt amazing to hit.

On the other hand, my press performance was weaker than expected but it was my first time overhead pressing the Texas bar rather than the axle in awhile and I seemed to find my groove with it in the later sets of 135 by bringing in my elbows and feeling greater tricep activation.

Later on Monday evening, went on a 39:51 jog over 3.28 miles with Elizabeth. 

Also played a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and was surprised to find that I'm already at chapter 9, near the end of the game. Since I trained hard the past 2 days, I'm making today a rest day and am looking forward to digging into the endgame with an edible when I get home from work. Just 45 more minutes...
