Ancillary Day

I've been recording the "supportive" workouts as more of a side note on hangboard days. But today's was rugged enough to deserve its own post.

Went in for some ARCing, and it was hard. Ended up doing 30 mins, but i actually peeled several times. Very tired.

Then i tried some bouldering, and that was not great.

Then i ventured into the irongym. Seems like my last iron workout was 2 months (+/-) ago. First did a tabata workout that went surprisingly well. That's 20 secs/workout with 10 secs of rest in between for 4 different workouts each set, then do it again for a total of 4 mins of pain. Did pullups, hanging straight leg raises, dips, and decline crunches. For set 1 i got 17 pullups, 18 SLRs, i think 17 dips, and about 18ish crunches. Set 2 got 12 pullups, i think 11 SLRs, maybe 10 or 11 dips, and around 14 crunches. Good ol' sweaty time.

Then i did the warmup for my deadlift workout: 21 floor touches, 21 straight leg deads with just the bar, 12 with 145# straight leg, 8 with 245# straight leg, 5 with 345# regular, all from a deficit with 25# plates. Didn't venture up to the usual 445#. No need for paraplegia. Prolly gunna pay for what i did do just plenty. But i have fa sho lost me some back strength. Good workout, notwithstanding.
