Mixing it up

Last nights spin was tough, I repeated the same profile as last week, first and last 15 minutes were 1 minute climb intervals, and the middle 15ish minutes was a hill climb increasing the resistance every minute and standing every other minute, very tough.

As the bag of workouts gets fewer and fewer cards in it, I realized when I first made this that I should not have put so many of the same exercise in there, ie. Squats for reps and Squats for weight.  After pulled today's pick I had 2 more leg workouts, sumo deadlifts for weight and reps.  After talking with my wife, I realized that when I redo the bag, I am going to put in just 1 exercise, ie Squats, and then flip a coin as to whether I am going to perform those with alot of weight or for many reps.   I may also just perform the bag for reps on the next go around to help try and build my muscle endurance, either way, the exercise bag will bet receiving an overhaul.

Now on to the WoD.

WoD 2010/02/04:
Close Grip lat pulldowns for reps
Bench step overs
T Bar Row for Reps
Front Planks

As always, I am going to superset what I can (depending on the crowd), and get this done in about 1 hour.  I am also considering doing not a set number of sets, but until the time limit of 1 hour is reached, pushing myself for minimal rest and intense workouts.

I am loving the new style of workout that I'm performing and this will give me a way to measure my improvement since the goal is to improve in real world strength and endurance, not just the body builder "brick" physique.
