How are your kidneys?

"It’s estimated that many people over 60 have only 40 percent of kidney function left. Chronic kidney disease, as it’s known, occurs gradually over the course of years......Much of it occurs due to a low-grade inflammation localized to the kidneys. Since omega-3 fatty acids, as found in fish oil, offer potent anti-inflammatory effects, it stands to reason that fish oil should also protect the kidneys, and that’s precisely what a recent study found.^"

^{View the entire article from Ironman Magazine here.  I personally try to get at least 5g of combined EPA and DHA per day (read your labels, a 1000 mg dose of fish oil usually has anywhere from 200-500mg of actual EPA/DHA, which are the health benefits of fish oil).} 

^{What I did today...}

Warm Up:
- Dynamic Mobility Drills
- Jump Rope
- Samson Stretch

Strength Work:

Back Squat (1 rep at 75%, 85%, and max reps @ 95% of  400):

Warm Up Sets:  95x6, 185x4, 275x2

Work Sets:

- 300x1

- 340x1

- 380x2

Bench Press (1 rep @75%, 85%, and max reps @ 95% of 365):

Warm Ups Sets::  45x6, 135x4, 225x2

Work Sets:

- 275x1

- 315x1

- 347x1- he rep was not exactly clean.  I think I'll have to reset my bench press weights and work back up.

Weighted Dips:

- 30 reps @ 60 lbs:  11, 8, 7, and 4

Toes to Bar:

- 30 reps:  11, 8, 7, and 4- I just matched my dip reps and tried to move between the two with minimal rest.  I also tried to control the reps and minimize the kip required to complete these.) 

I'm still thrashed from my Saturday workout so I decided to do my accessory work in a circuit fashion as semi-conditioning.  Hopefully my tight back and sore quads will be ready to go tomorrow.
