Muay Thai and Dips

Workout 26 May 2009:

Muay Thai training and conditioning, 30 minutes

Weighted Dips, five sets of five reps

Results: Dips 50-50-50-50-50lbs
Previous best: 45-45-45-45-45lbs (12 May 09)

I intended to do a shoulder press workout yesterday but was still very sore from Saturday's SDHP and Ring Dip workout, so I had to make up for it today. The Muay Thai session was exhausting, and combined plenty of punch drills with knee and low-kick work. The final drill of the training session was supposed to be a heavy 2-3 minute round, but I forced myself to go four minutes non-stop. Tomorrow should be fun since I have an hour Muay Thai class!

I was very pleased with the weighted dip 5x5 at 50lbs, especially after Thai. I'm pretty sure I should be able to go up to 55lbs next time.
