Combat Training - Traditional Strength Prequel Week; Day 3; Friday 3:30PM-5:10PM

This is workout three of this week. I was plenty sore for the last 3 days, and as it turns out I needed them all to recover. The extra rest was good, but last night was rough and I did not get to sleep until 7:30AM! I had some severe breathing problems that were the result of some reaction to something I ate. The truth is I am exhausted, but I am pressing forward.

Today will be both cardio and combat training. I resume traditional strength in one week. Still waiting on my Quick-Lock Dumbbells.

The next few days will be cardio and cables and combat training style, just to get muscles and lungs increasingly use to stress again.

I have started using a line of supplements I will tell you more about in a separate post, but it will be interesting to see just how good they are.

  • Heavy Rope Work 200r, 100rtx8 (wind was excellent. Last night I was sicker n’ hell, and I expected my lungs to give me trouble…and they did. Not in terms of endurance, but just congestion.) Oddly enough, my wind actually improved since 3 days ago. More rope work tomorrow.
  • Parallel Chins BW 12, 8, 7
  • Reverse Gravity Rows (off bench) BW 8, 8, 10
  • Pushups 35, 20, 10, 10, 10 (stamina good, strength better)
  • High Step-ups off bench (per leg) 20, 20

Less rest between sets, more reps. Good. Still had plenty left over, and all things considered I am pleased.

That is progress.

A question for people with COPD

Have you ever just thought to yourself, “I just want it to be over with.”

Have you ever felt like that?

Just curious.

If you want, leave an anonymous comment. I am interested in what others feel.
