Thanks Monte! I find rowing to be such a mental grind. I constantly stare at the screen and count the meters to go.
531 - C1D9
Weighted Pullups: BWx5x2, 5x5x5
OHP: 45x5x5
Seated Row: 50x15x2, 45x15
Incline DB Bench: 20sx15x2, 18sx15

Engine Builder - W4D2
Row

Back was still not okay for deadlifting, so I switched it for weighted pull ups. I did 18x30 sec, 30 sec off on Oct 23 and my average pace was 1:58.0, so more rowing gains!
That's 1 cycle of 531 done. I'm increasing my training maxes on everything except deadlifts. I'm going to play it by ear with deadlifts. It's the only lift that aggravates my back injury. I may just work up to a set of 5 with no pain on the deadlift day or maybe 5x5 at baby weights. Let's see. My first priority is to get rid of this stupid injury that has lasted forever. I'm also going to start doing touch and go. I've done a lot of reading about it and there seems to be pros and cons to it. I just have such trouble getting tight during the setup that the thought of only doing it once and remaining tight sounds amazing.
I'm going to New York, 5 days off now. My goal is to do the shortest gowod mobility every day (8 minutes), 1 run, and 2 push up workouts (1 EMOM and 100 push ups for time).
See you in 5 days!
