Shoulder Press
Lat Pull Down
EF leg press
Had to take some extra time to recover from our trip to Mexico. Hit 90 seconds on both the shoulder and lat movements so will increase the weight next cycle. Hit a peak of 2142 on the EF leg press so progress continues. Plan to work out again in a week and continue with 10 Aikido sessions per week.
I will keep track of my weight training workouts based on principles discussed in Body by Science by Doug McGuff M.D. and John Little.

WOW 44 08/13/2011
Chest Press
Upright row
Leg Press
I did this workout after 6 days of recovery since we will be leaving on vacation early tomorrow. I felt reasonably well recovered so hopefully lowering TUL from 3 minutes to between 60 and 90 seconds will in fact allow me to work out more frequently. I used my EF machine for the leg press for the second time in a row and this time was able to get the number over 2,000 (last week was around 1600).

WOW 42 and 43 7/1 and 8/7
WOW 42
Chest 90 sec
Row 60 sec
Leg 90 sec
Static holds for 90 seconds or until failure.. We got a membership at a 24 hr Fitness so I will be setting a new baseline using different machines. I am also taking the opportunity to cut my TUL target in half (from three minutes to 90 seconds). Way back when I was hoping to arrange my workouts so I could workout once a week. Three minute TUL does not seem to be consistent with a one week recovery so I am going to experiment with shorter TULs and see how that goes.
WOW 43
Shoulder 90 sec
Lat 60 sec
Leg 1642
None of the 24 Hour Fitness leg press machines have enough weight to get my anywhere close to failure in 90 seconds so I have dusted off my old Explosive Fitness machine and will use that for leg presses. Today I did a 3 minute hold at 500 lbs at 24 HF before doing the EF leg press. We will see if I can do better next week.
I have been hitting the Aikido pretty hard, going twice per day many days. Feeling pretty good....
