Old School Workouts and Rest

I havent posted in a while, but the regimen is going strong. I had to go up to Boston for a day and the plan was to arrive about 8pm, hit the gym, go to bed and workout in the morning. Well, things didn't fully go according to plan. I got in at 10:00pm to find the gym closed, so I did an old school workout that consisted of the following

a) Mountain Climbers
b) Full body push ups 3x10
c) Leg/Scissor kicks 2x10
d) One legged raises
e) 3 x 30, 20,20 pushups
f) lunges
g) Plyometrics
h) Tricep dips

I had to exercise in the hotel room, but I got it done. I could not sleep that night due to me travelling from the West Coast to the East Coast, but I happened to get my butt up at 5:30 to hit the gym. Here was the workout

10 minute jog warm up 4mph pace (was not winded and I was feeling good)
3x10 power clean and jerks with 110 lbs. I found out that my shoulders are incredibly weak
3x 8 25, 35, 40 dumbbell shoulder press
3x10 90lbs shoulder shrugs
3x8 50, 30, 10 military press. The front of my shoulders are weak and I remember feeling strain when I tried to bench over 225 last year, and now I have the culprit.

3x10 pullups (weight assisted as I was focusing on biceps)
3x10 curls with 50 and 40lb bar supersetted with dumbell curls (20lbs)

I am missing something, but oh well. I then decided to hit the treadmill to see if I would see any gains from my sprint/jog workouts. Not today. I believe the lack of rest hurt me as I was dying after 1.5 minutes at an 7.0 mph pace.

Memo to Terrence - run more.

I am now back in New York and I plan to jog tomorrow to get the lactic acid out and hit the weights hard (legs) on Friday.

I am feeling a lot better and I am very sore, which means I growing, not retreating. I did not overtrain, thank goodness.
