Training Day 9

1st WOD:

5 Rounds for Time of:
25 Deadlifts @ 50lbs
Run 300 Meters

My Time - 13:24

This felt really good. I always seem to have back problems on deadlifts, but after doing some more research I fixed my problems in my form and they were no problem at all. What's great is that I didn't rest through any exercise so I went all out until the end. The only thing that slowed me down was there was a little bit of travel distance between where I was deadlifting and the gymnasium I ran laps in. All in all though, great workout.

2nd WOD:

AMRAP in 20 Min of:
10 Muscle Ups
25 Cleans @ 55lbs
24 Jump and Lunges

Results - 5 Rounds + 17 cleans

So the muscle ups were definitely modified. I just started with the basic inverted row, transitioning to a low dip position, and then pressing up. It wasn't too bad so next time I'll move the rings up a little higher. The cleans were good as well. I bumped up weight from last time so I made progress there. Now the jump and lunges were a subsitution for biking since the place I was in didn't have a bike. But I still wanted that plyometric power from the legs so I adjusted accordingly. It was a great day of training and I'm ready for my final day of the week tomorrow.

Finally, some people have been asking about my full nutrition plan and I'll have that as a seperate post sometime this weekend.

Later!

    1. Thanks Nicole! Yeah they are a little wobbly at first but I guess they just take some getting used to. Just occupying myself until your countdown is up!
