Many of you guys may remember my workout from train2gain.tv. Well, I was on vacation the whole week and I have 2 weeks before I go on vacation AGAIN, and this time for 4 weeks... So I'll have to train extra hard these 2 weeks. Today I didn't really workout, but I wanted to find out my military press 1RM.

"Cardio"
2 mile/3km fast walk uphill
That was one of the most brutal workouts I've ever had. I haven't trained in about a week, so my strength went down a bi. I also didn't have a spotter so I didn't risk doing the last 1 or 2 reps on the bench press. Chest was really pumped already after the first set and triceps hurt like a bitch. Dips wrecked them even more. Military press was really dissapointing but close grip bench press was great. On the last set I couldn't get the bar up so I had to roll it down on my legs. It was really embarassing . When I was done I decided to walk home instead of taking the bus and went about 2 miles/3 kilometers uphill. Broke a sweat and heart rate was elevated. So I managed to get in both my push workout and some cardio
Haven't done cardio in a while so I got pretty sore after this, especially my feet, ankles, shins and knees. Feel better now though. I live by a hill so I ran up 50 meters, then jogged down again. I did this for 5 times with no break, before I paused to fully catch my breath again. Then I did another 5 laps.

I was kinda impressed with today's workout because I managed to complete all reps on all my exercises, even though I haven't trained in a while. Chinups impressed me, because I usually only do 5-6 reps at the most, and now after a week's break I suddenly did 7. Rows were very heavy on the last reps, so were the curls. Deadlift felt extremely heavy, because I increased the weight. I did small breaks between the reps to catch my breath and to correct my form. Right now my hands are covered in blisters and my back hurts (in a good way), so I guess this was a great workout
