Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Wednesday 090610

Was supposed to be back squats for 7 sets of 1 rep. Instead I made up for Tuesday's WOD:

“Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

OR

“Mary”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups

Post your choice of girls and rounds completed to comments.


I did Cindy for 11 rounds. While I didn't need a spotter or the assisted machine last time, this time they were pretty damn strict reps. Last time, not so much. I also got an additional round over the last time I did this WOD.

Tuesday 090609

Was supposed to be

“Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

OR

“Mary”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups

However, I wasn't able to work out so I skipped a day. See Wednesday 090610.

Rest day, although I still have some furniture to move around.

Sunday 090607

Was supposed to be:

Five rounds for time of:
75 pound Thrusters, 21 reps
21 Double-unders

Skipped this workout and rearranged my living room instead. May not be the same cardio effect, but it was certainly a workout moving all that furniture by myself.

Weird. My biceps are actually really tight today from the workout 2 days ago with the barbell curls as a cash out. I've never had it take this long for muscle soreness to set in. Usually by the 24 hour mark I'm at the worst it's going to get.
