The Tuesday lift is usually the tougher of the two upper body lifts, and by the end of this one I felt like my arms were going to fall off. After doing some medicine ball explosiveness and core work, we  started the lift. My first bracket was dumb bell press with a 2-1-2 negative (2 seconds down, 1 second pause at the bottom, 1 second on the way up), 4 sets of 8 reps, along with 4x8 dumb bell bent over row. After that, we had pull ups with a 2-1-2 negative (by far the hardest exercise) 3x10, along with bosu feet elevated pushups with a weight vest 3x10 with a 3-1-2 negative. The last bracket consisted of kettle bell towel curls (you loop a hand towel through a kettle bell and curl it) for 10 reps, along with dumb bell skull crushers and trx face pulls. By this point I was pretty tired. However, we still needed to do the circuit. The circuit consisted of 4 sets of the following exercises: Sledgehammering a tire x10, Ab wheel x10 and rowing machine x300 meters. This wasn't necessarily the toughest circuit, but after that workout, it was pretty tough to do. For work, I had a lot of small tasks, which also consisted of some cleaning. I cleaned all the rowing machines, bikes, sleds, swiss balls, and put everything in the right place. After, I helped out the next group which was a lot of setting things up and making sure all the equipment was in place for them.
