Punishing?

Haiti is not a country that needed another disaster.  A few weeks ago I learned a little more about Haiti and its fairly difficult history.  I remember flying over the island 7 or so years ago and noticing (as many have) the stark dividing line between Haiti and the Dominican Republic - green on the DR side, brown and desolate on the Haitian side.  A lot of suffering for a country and people so close to home.

In more mundane news: the workout today was good, but perhaps not as punishingly executed as I had intended.  I did each exercise not to fatigue, but only to near-fatigue to maximize my overall reps.  The "prison-cell pushup" (stand, hands on floor, jump feet back, push up, right knee in, pushup, left knee in, pushup, jump feet forward, stand and jump) was the closest I came to punishment.  Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of fatigue involved, and there will be plenty of soreness.

Lately have really been noticing the pattern of body temperature change that I experience with workouts - up after the workout for an hour or so, then quite low for a few hours, then normalizing.  Same with alertness (though sleep has something to do with that.)

Today: Pullup (2 max rep sets each of wide grip, switch grip, chin up, close grip, towel assist, standard)alternating with Pushups (1 max rep set each of slow, prison cell, low hands, military press, one arm, stack foot, slow/fast alternate, diamond, clap, wide grip, side-to-side, high-low position hold, and standard).  Total 85 pull ups and 180 push ups.  As usual many moves taken from p90x.
