The Strength Test Project, Day 2: I Try Spinning

Ok, so here we go with the next installment!  Today I started with a spinning class.  Now let it be said: I do not enjoy classes.  I never have.  But if there's any class that I've tried that I like, it's spinning.  And we did a series of intervals, something called hills and valley; we did 3 sets of 3 minute hard intervals followed by 2 minutes of recovery; then we flip-flopped, doing 3 sets of 2 minute hard intervals followed by 3 minutes of recovery.  All in all, a lot of fun.
After my spinning class, I enjoyed a lovely little workout like this:

  • Bench Press (165) and Plyometric Pushup: 3 sets of 5 and 10; 2 sets of 3 and 5
  • Barbell Curls (65) and Hang Cleans (135): 3 sets of 5 and 5; 2 sets of 3 and 3
  • Weighted Dips (27.5) and Floor Wipers (175): 3 sets of 5
  • Dumbbell Curls (35) and Triceps Pulldown (115): 3 sets of 5
  • Squats (185): 3 sets of 5
  • Knee Tuck Jumps: 2 sets of 30 seconds
  • Skater Plyo: 2 sets of 30 seconds

And also, I did my upper body circuit:

  • Chin Ups: 5 sets: 9/8/9/8/9
  • Incline Pushups with Handles: 25/25/25/25/25
  • Handstand Pushups: 2/2/2/2/2
Well, that's all.  Until tomorrow!  I'm off to relax my muscles, and gear up for tomorrow.
