January 9, 2018

Daily score: 6 (traps, lats, and mostly triceps pretty sore)

Workout:

For time:
Row 2k
Airdyne bike 10 calories
Row 2k

18:56

(8:12, :59, 8:55)


I definitely felt the rowing in my sore upper body, even felt like my forearms fatigued.  8:12 for the first 2k ties my PR.  I rowed the first 500m under 2 mins and think I went out too fast.  Bike didn’t start when I first got on so lost 10 seconds or so there.  Second row was just about keeping going.  This time domain is definitely a hard one for me.  Good to push myself to figure it out and improve.  Thanks!

The HS drill with the lateral turns to the wall was something I saw from CF Gymnastics on Instagram that I wanted to try.  It was pretty hard.  Walking with a spotter seems to be improving.  The muscle up drill felt great today.  Kipping HSPU's feel pretty easy after all the strict work but they feel slow...I tried to find ways to go faster...not sure I'll ever be 'fast'.  But I did just witness a ton of very fast kipping hspu's at the comp this last weekend so I know it's humanly possible.  The WOD was faster than I thought it would be.  TTB I did sets of 5 until in the 40's then did 3's.  CTB, I did 3's until 20 and then quick doubles/singles.  The S2O was the hard part.  My arms got shaky.  I did three sets of 10 and then was down to 5's and probably rested more than I should have.  Shoulder mobility was heaven.  I also went to the chiro and got a massage after this.  Feeling great now.  The last video is the straight arm pulling bar MU drill I wanted to try (also from CF Gymnastics on IG).  Seems worthwhile.  Thanks!

I was planning to do this workout tonight but I just can’t see how it makes any sense or would make me any more fit at this point.  I just spent the last three full days judging the Fort Vancouver Championship.  Long days and every single catecholamine in my body I do believe has been spent.  Not to mention I am super thirsty!    I’m opting for a bubble bath and bed.  I hate missing a workout though!  Will be back on it tomorrow!  I did get a killer deal on a couple of the used sandbags at the comp, a 70# and a #100.  And I did have to lug them to my car so...kinda a workout.  Now I have those to play with!  Thanks!

Strict CTB felt harder today for some reason.  The mu drill was improved though.  The first set I did 10 unbroken.  Kipping felt good.  I still don’t think I have a clue of timing for when I would pull but I guess we’re not there yet anyway.  The wod was kinda fun.  I did the whole thing unbroken.  I wanted to stop and rest on the last set of db snatches but wasn’t close to failing, just tired, so I just kept going and am proud of my effort.  Thanks!

mobility work 20-30 min

Kinda surprised how much my right calf still lags behind the left with A,B,C, and the single leg jumping.  It starts off good but fatigues waaaay faster.  The bike and squat combos were as painful as I thought they would be...not sure which was the worst.  Probably the OHS.  But they were all hard.  I think I chose good weights though.  The challenge was to not dog the bike, to really go 95%.  The mobility time was golden.  I am sure tomorrow is going to be a very sore leg day.  Thanks!

Snatching felt rusty and kinda wobbly but so good to get back at it.  Ankle felt fine.  Legs already started getting slow in the cleans coming up out of the squat.  They just feel weak.  Split jerk was super fun, been awhile.  Dreaming about buying jerk blocks.  My legs were tired by the front squats, I swear 85x5 was not easy.  Lunges went well.  Pistols seemed easy so I just kept going and finished them unbroken without too much trouble.  Right leg seemed weaker than the left.  Thanks!

So good to be home and have spent New Year’s Eve with friends and my dog and no drama.  So grateful to have today off to catch up on life and enjoy this workout.  I was anxious to move after days of eating and just being cooped up.  Soooo glad all the hoopla is over and I can get back to working on what’s important to me with the people who are important to me.  I love this.  My programming, progress, goals, moving, all off it.  The amrap was great.  I did all the hspu’s unbroken and the TTB in 5’s.  I couldn’t believe how many rounds I was getting and what it all added up to in just 15 minutes.  So so much progress.  It wasn’t a burner, lungs were fine, just keep a steady pace so as not to start failing.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!
