Workout log (boring stuff)

Wednesday is a gym day.
Got the sprints in to the train this morning. The GPS service in my neighborhood is really spotty so cardio-trainer on my phone always gives me weird results. I am able to squeeze in 3 sprints close to aerobic threshold (HRM still needs new batteries so I am guessing by the volume of my wheezing) 200 - 300 yards each. Pathetic as I am shooting for 400 yard sprints with shorter recovery (to a non-wheezing state). The cold air is doing my mild asthma no favors (I point a finger at the chemo-therapy for doing this to me). My spotty GPS shows me peaking around 12 mph and it takes a total of 10 min plus some to make the mile.
Short warm-up: Dynamic Stretching
Deadlift 210 + Bar 5x5
Plyometric broadjump x6 (the program recommends box jump, but the ceilings are low).
Bench 100 + Bar 5x5
Plyometric pushup x 10
Sideways thingy + 50lb x10 each side
Medicine Ball snap-twist x 20
Lat pull 160 3 x 5
Then I do some advance lunge drills to the same wheezing point. 4 of those and I am done. Keeping an eye on my hips and shoulder during these. It's getting easier to maintain the form.
Only an hour in the gym, and I hit the showers. The scale tips in at 229.
No fencing for a while. Watching my daughters play, perhaps I can do some drills with her over the weekend while the coach is in Detroit.
