Strange times. Working out, but haven't posted a few days. Started training boxing for real at LB4LB in LA, and it's a killer. I've had to adjust scheduling around getting more rest time between workouts.

Strength. The boxing gym's weight room is somewhat underwhelming, mostly Smith rack and dumbbells and a few machines. Hmmm. Even so --
Squats w/50# dumbbells: 5 x 5
Smith rack bench press: 5 x 5 @ 155
Wide-grip pullups: 7/5/5
Overhead press: 2 x 8, 35 pound dumbbells
Abs, mix up situps, crunches, bicycles, etc.
20 minutes on elliptical.
3/21/09
Long slow run, 55 minutes, about 4.3 miles
3/22/09
Rest day.
3/23/09
Boxing.
3/24/09
Strength again. Really not feeling the weight room thing. Still --
Squats w/50# dumbbells: 3 x 5, knee pain, bailed.
Smith rack bench: 5 x 5 @ 165 pounds
Wide grip pullups: 6/5/3
Overhead press: 2 x 8 @ 40 pounds
Abs.
10 minutes on elliptical.
I'm back to straight simplefit on my non-boxing days starting next week. Not crazy about the weight selection at the gym.
