Will Back Day Drown The Swimmer and Very Little Random Acts of Fitness On A Sunday.

After swimming last Sunday at NTC I wrote that I'll probably never get in enough shape to swim and do weights on the same day again.  Well I guess I'm putting that to the test as I got up and did a Back and Bicep Workout this morning and got swimming at 10am.  Hoping that today's swim is all short distance.  

SUNDAY!

THE BREAKDOWN:

MORE THAN LAST TIME!!  

Pull Ups - Dropped another plate down to 9 from 10!  FELT GOOD!  PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD!

Preacher Curl - More Reps than last time!  Wahoo!   PROGRESS!

Lat Pulldown - More Reps than last time!  I may have let some momentum into the movement but felt great.  PROGRESS!

Hammer Curl - More Reps than last time!  The first one on each set is so hard.  Tried not to swing as much.  Adjusted the placement and that seemed to work a bit.

Cable Row - 8 is the magic number!

Overall I was on fire!  Don't know why but felt strong this morning.  

 

SWIMMING:

On deck at 10am!  

 

SPIN / CYCLE / RIDE:

Day off.  Let the body recover from teaching.  Need to practice this week to get over a few mistakes in the cheorgraphy/timing.

 

RANDOM ACTS OF FITNESS:

One of my centers have yoga and of course pickleball.  I do have to stop at one of the centers today to set up someone in the new payroll system.  Ugh.
