StrongLifts 5x5 (Part 2), Week 2, day 3

I posted this a little late. I ended up working out on Saturday instead of Friday because my lady was working that morning and we've been going to the gym together. Saturday ended up being a pretty "okay" workout session for the both of us. As usual, the Overhead Press is giving me the shits.

I feel like I was having an off day and truthfully I only missed the last rep on the last set, but I'll mark it down as a fail.

In other news, my normal 1x15's are creeping up. My ultimate goal is to be able to 1x30 at a specific weight and then I will increase the weight and repeat the process. My backoff set's ought to be about 50% of my 1RM - I think they're not right now, probably a bit too light, but I have like zero endurance it seems with my muscles, so I will keep working it.

This week marks the first week of me working "part time" through the holidays. I haven't been talking about it but I've been on a decently sized contract for the last several months that finally is winding down. I can't complain, I made ultra-bank off it (basically paid off all my debts sans mortgage and stashed 80 grand).

Anyway, while I will do some part time work and look for something to do after the new year, this leaves me with a lot of free time. I decided that I'm going to try a "2 a day" training plan. This is not really a controversial thing, basically it's just me reducing the duraton of my workout sessions slightly and doing it two times in the same day with a 6 hour gap. It's used by a lot of people who want to train for a specific event or activity and I figure since I can hit the gym twice a day now, no worries.

I'm going to basically drop the back off sets and add some accessory exercises for the next 4 weeks. I also bought a jump rope for some HiT. Gotta burn those calories yo.
