Training Day 15

1st WOD:

5 Rounds for Time:
10 Pull Ups
25 Presses @ 55lbs

Time - 14:27

First, you'll notice that there was no skill practice today. The moment I stepped into the gym I was back to work with my workouts. On my pull ups today Iwas lucky enough to get the squat rack with the added pull up bar which had a lot more space from the wall and made for good transition from each exercise. I worked on kipping and while it felt like a lot of exertion it really did help me get in some more reps. Not trying to sound overly masculine or anything, but I felt like a beast on the presses. I kept cranking them out and when I rested, I did so for a minimal amount of time and kept right on going. This workout was brutal, but awesome all the same!


2nd WOD:

AMRAP 20 Min:
Bike 1 Mile
30 Push Ups
25 Snatches @ 50lbs

Results - 2 Rounds + .27miles

This was fairly tiring. Biking was typical in time and exertion, but pushups were a little bit more difficult. Basically I was exhausted after my first workout and then my right tricep decided to spaz out and lock up, essentially yelling at me in it's own awesome Arnold Schwarzenegger voice "DAAAAAAHHHH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!" Finally snatched seemed just exhausting in general. I wasn't even able to go 25 reps straight through. But I don't quit a workout so I just plugged away.


So there you have it! 3 WEEKS IN! I I am however starting to re-think some aspects of the training as far as time and energy spent. So there's a good possibility that I might use Week 4 to experiment a little with scheduling and type of the workouts. Basically I'm going to try and see what would be most efficient for me to get more results without feeling like I'm spent after the first workout.

We'll see what it has in store!
