August 2017 Training Log

I've been training faithfully, but without internet access at home, have not been keeping up with my log here.

Aug 23- Worked on the deck for about 45 minutes, easy work. Just laying boards. Trained after. Single clean and jerk. Warm up: 2m @ 8rpm with 28k. Work set: 10m @ 8rpm with 24k = 80 reps. Squats, 135 lb.: 2x5. Superset dips and chins. 10 sets of 2 chins, 4 dips = 20 chins, 40 dips. Then unloaded and carried 30 bales of hay.

Aug 22- Worked for 8 hours building a deck overhead. Very hot outside, very heavy work. Kept working at a moderate pace.
