Ab work:
3 sets cable work obliques
3 sets weighted crunches
3 sets leg lifts
Sunday: off
don't know how the next 2 weeks are going to play out gym-wise. moving out of my apartment next week and i'm completely overwhelmed with amount of **** that needs to get done. i have my gym bag here w me but there's a good chance i won't even have the time to go tonight. maybe my body can use a week off, we'll see. i was doing pretty well lift/diet wise for the first few weeks of the year, too. really going to have to make sure i don't fall off now.
so i spent all of last week moving out of nyc, cleaning up and closing on my apartment. quite the bittersweet moment to say the least . i was hoping to get back into the gym over the weekend but the snow storm really fucked up my plans. then i was at the pediatric clinic all day yesterday w my daughter w a double ear infection . haven't touched any iron since last monday. first day commuting into the city today for work. not too bad on the way in, let's see how the evening commute goes. need to figure out how i'm going to work w this timing and get my *** into the gym. looking like i'm going to have to hit it hard on the weekends and hope to get another 2 days in during the week. i can probably hit the local equinox at 5am one day a week but i need to be at the train station for a 640am train. sounds rough but i guess i will adjust eventually. time to officially switch routines, too. 5/3/1 it will be. new workouts to follow once i get going.
first day back in about 2 weeks. got slammed w a double middle ear infection, upper respiratory infection, and a sinus infection all at once. it really kicked the **** out me after moving and commuting to work for the first week and could not for the life of me make it into the gym. finally starting to kick it and adjust to the commute. i started 5/3/1 w assistance work of offseason training for strength. first workout went pretty well yesterday.

conditioning, easy:
25 mins treadmill, 6.0mph, 2.5 miles
i may have went a bit heavy on some of the accessory work, missed a few reps here and there. also definitely not back at 100% strength but all in all a very good workout. looking forward to day 2.
conditioning, hard:
didn't have my running shoes, hammies were on fire after not touching them for a few weeks. made it through about 10 mins of the stair machine at 80 steps/min and gave up.
still working on feeling 100% better, not quite there yet. my conditioning is still suffering for sure. going to try and hit up bench press day today though.
conditioning, easy
15 mins treadmill, 6.0mph, 1.5 miles
definitely didn't feel right running today. i know i'm still not 100% but i felt pretty good throughout the lifts. thought i'd feel better on the treadmill but maybe i need some more time to rest. gonna get a good night sleep tonight and if i'm feeling better tmrw maybe i'll do just some light conditioning.
too early to ask but how does it compare to PHAT so far?
like you said, it's kinda hard to tell at this point. i'm trying really hard to pay particular attention the compounds every day, really focusing on the technique, form, breathing, reps, timing and motions etc. i almost feel as if i was getting to the point w PHAT that there was so much to do each work out that i was losing that level of concentration on some of the lifts.
there is no question that the adjustment in volume is way better suited for the current status of my life at this point. the accessory work i chose includes some conditioning every day so i can keep my workouts to 4/7 days a week and not feel like i'm missing out on cardio in addition to the weights.
i think i'm going to give it 3 full cycles and reassess my strength on the compounds from there. all in all i definitely like it so far though.
conditioning, hard:
again, couldn't get much out after the hamstring work. i did about 10 mins of interval sprints and just had nothing left in my legs. weird that i'm so much more burnt out from the dls than i am from the squats when i try and run after. all in all my running has gone to **** though. just have to keep at it.
