Down to the wire

10/5: 3.64 mile run in my normal shoes.  Somewhere around the 40 minute mark, but I wasn't really keeping track.

10/6:
  1. M100s
  2. Barbell complex, 70 lbs. six reps each: Deadlift, straightleg deadlift, standing row, jump shrug, hang clean, and shoulder press. Did this twice.
  3. Flat dumbbell press, 45 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  4. Twisted standing dumbbell curl, 30 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  5. Plate pinch curl, 10 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.  (This is a forearm exercise where you pinch two 5lb plates together while you curl them.  Sounds simple, and it is, but it's effective.
  6. Several plank styles.
10/7
  1. Barbell complex, 70 lbs, six reps each: Deadlift, straightleg deadlift, standing row, jump shrug, hang clean, and shoulder press/front squat.  I did this twice, once finishing with shoulder press and then the front squat for the second round.
  2. Single arm kettle ball snatch, 35 lbs, 10 reps each arm, 3 sets.
  3. Kneeling stability reverse chop, 60 lbs, 10 reps each side, 3 sets.
  4. Cable row, 200 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  5. Lat pull down, 200 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  6. Elevated feet plank, 30 seconds, 5 sets.
  7. Lower back machine exercise, 200 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
10/8: 5-mile bike ride around the lake. 

10/10: Hiked with Elijah for a couple of miles around the lake. 

10/12:
  1. M100
  2. Barbell Complex.  I mixed it up a bit for these.  Six reps of each: Deadlift, front squat, row, jump shrug, hang clean. Two rounds.
  3. Dumbbell shrug, 60 lbs in each hand, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  4. Standing lat pressdown, 50 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  5. Cable row, 200 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  6. Dumbbell curl, 30 lbs each, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  7. Tricep pressdown, 100 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
  8. I tried a my own sort of barbell complex next.  I did a seated barbell shoulder press, flat barbell bench press, and then standing barbell curl, 40 lbs, 10 reps per exercise and 3 sets.  It felt great and really kept me moving.
  9. Leg raises, 20 reps, 3 sets.
10/13: I did a 6.1 mile run in my New Balance Minimus in 54 minutes.  So that's not a great time, but I guess it's just something I'm going to have to work on for the next Tough Mudder event.  I've only got a little over a week before Tough Mudder and I don't see that time lowering much at all in a week.
