16 Mar ASHMAN, trying to dig out these fucking ashes to RISE

Last week I had my Angiogram so I had to shut lifting down for a week to avoid bursting blood through my femoral.

As cool as that would have looked, it would have sucked.

The Electrophysiologist added a rhythm controlling medication to the mix to pull me out of a-fib, and in a week or two we will attempt another cardioversion. Until the rhythm is fixed 100% I am staying on maintain mode in the gym, taking care of work capacity issues, working on weakpoints, experimenting with different assistance exercises and taking care of my health better.

Monday:

Started off with McGill’s warmup, as per usual.

First two exercises of the day were SSB box squats and 4″ block pulls. I worked up to a light 320 and 420, far cry from what I was doing last year but that’s what rebuilding is for.

Accessory work was:

Double hand KB sumo swings. Used 40# bells per hand, sumo stance, and fired my hips through as hard as I could. These are soul crushers. 4 sets of 10.

KB Iso Rows. 3 sets of 8 per arm. Video is below.

Kettlebell Iso Rows. Hold one arm up in an isometric row while rowing the other. Switch and repeat.
