All of this went well and felt good.  Hardest part was probably the hamstring activations.  I am pretty certain those are the fastest 50 burpees I have ever done.  I think the mountain biking maybe is helping my cardio, who knows...thanks!

Shoulders (lower posterior muscles) were fired up by the middle of the 'C' series, in a good way.  Everything went well and arms were spent all around.  Rowing was tough.  Second round felt better than the first, hips were loosened up.  Thanks!

I found an sample bag of pre-workout I was given awhile back and used it today and I definitely found it gave me more energy/intensity.  It says it has green tea extract in it so I am sure it has some caffeine but didn't say caffeine anywhere on it.  Regardless, not something I think I could handle in the evening and still sleep well...I am still pumped 30 mins after the workout.  But it was great for a workout earlier in the day.  All of this went well...I did 30 second holds on the plank and probably should not have rested between holds as long as I did.  I am proud of how I push on the wbs though.  But to be fair, my ceiling is just barely 9 feet so I am throwing a bit shallow compared to the standard :/.  I can feel my quads are all puffed up...stretched them as much as I could and will roll them again tonight.  Thanks!

Workout:

Outdoor day

Mountain bike clinic:
This went really well.  I was quite pleased to be un-phased by the climbs.  I took a few good falls but that was good too because it was a result of me pushing my limits.  So good to get out, let go, and be crazy and free.  Came home exhausted.  :)

This was a fun workout...took quite a long time too.  I am pretty sore...mostly quads/butt from yesterday but triceps are still sore too.  I enjoyed the HS push throughs, felt like a great modification to build control.  Everything else went well!  Thanks!
