A Man with a Plan

Today I decide to write out an outline for each day of my week. Oftentimes, I just work through my day trying to knock out my "to-do" from most urgent to least urgent. Sounds good, right? The problem is that there is no end in sight. I may knock out 10 "to-do's" but there are 20 more waiting on my desk. 

I mention this because there is a direct correlation between my business and personal "to-do" list and my workouts. In short, my workouts get bumped frequently due other urgent items on my list. So, I'm adding a little more structure to my day in hopes of accomplishing more in the long haul as well as feeling a bit more accomplished when the day is over. 

Thursday Workouts
John, Linda (two of my trainers) and I did some pull up work today between 2 sessions. We worked on 3 different grips (supinated, pronated, and towel) style pull ups as well as kipping and traditional style. 

We did 8-10 burn out sets. I did the first few sets with no band and then added a support band after about 4 sets. My reps range was as high as 12 and as low as 5. 

Later this afternoon I'm going to practice squat tech for about 30 minutes and then wrap up with 3-4 heavy sets of 8-10 reps each set. I'm hopeful that Linda, John and I will be able to continue to get our  little 30-45 min "trainers training trainers" workout in between our 715a and 900a sessions...I'm crossing my fingers. 

Wednesday Food
