20th April 2010 (1A): Body by DC

Since I (will) have access to a proper gym again, I fancy a stint of DC training. Probably 4-6wks but I'll see how it meshes with PaNu eating.

17:30 (Home) (1A)
A KB floor press 26.5x10+3+2=15RP
S1 Doorway x60s/side
B Military press w/clean 57x6+3+2=11RP

S3 KB tricep @24 x60s
D Pullup BWx8+4+4=16RP
E BB bent row 67x7+4+2=13RP
S4 Lat x60s

Kept the pace high, hence the weak performance (esp. MP). I think this should go well with the eating, as it is brief and intense. I even had my first protein shake in probably 8mths after - made with whole Jersey milk though of course!
