Paying the Price

The final tally for yesterday was over 30,000 steps. Wow! I’m not sure if there is a muscle in my entire body that isn’t sore today.

Warm-up

• 400m Row
• 2 Sets of 10
  • Wall Squats
  • Leg Swings (10 front to back, 10 side to side, each leg
• 2 Sets of 15
  • Hollow Rocks
  • Superman

Strength

5 Sets, 3-1-X-1 tempo, rest 2-3 minutes between sets
5-7 Deadlifts

My legs were shot from yesterday. I think I’ve figured out that deadlifts are causing the tweak in my right ass (or at least preventing it from healing) because I can really feel it after I do a set and stand back up and walk away from the bar. I warmed up with some reps of 135# and then used 185#, 205#, 225#, 225#, and 225# for my working sets. I usually love deadlifts, but not today.

WOD

3 Rounds

• 20 KBS
• 150m Row
• Rest the amount of time it took to complete the round.

Another CrossFit WOD that looks easy on the whiteboard, but packs a punch. It was kind of goofy because you had to do the calculations to figure out rest time (as you are trying to rest and record your time on the board) and when to start your next set. I used a 53# KB and did my rounds in 1:21, 1:22, and 1:21. Consistency is the name of the game in a WOD like this. I wish I was consistently faster.

Only two more days until the first Open WOD is announced. I hope they start with something where I can do all of the exercises.
