I didn’t think yesterday’s WOD was that hard, but I was definitely feeling it today in my legs. My shins were a bit sore for the first time I can remember. I’m guessing that’s from 169 box jumps!
Woke up and did my 3 sets of max rep push-ups, which are increasing daily.
Warm-up
10:00 AMRAP
- 250m Run
- 20 Burpees
I finished 4 rounds with 30 seconds left, so there was no point in heading out for another run.
WOD
50 Man Makers (45# DBs)
What a dandy! I need to get stronger so I went for it with the 45s. Took me 27:30 to finish. I was sweating so much it was hard to hold on to the DBs. When combined with chalk it was almost like a paste on the handles. Not that my time would have improved much. Just saying it sucked. In these workouts I try not to pay attention to the clock because I know I’m pushing myself for weight and getting stronger is my goal. My endurance and cardio are pretty good and they get worked enough in all of the metcon WODs.
Finisher
7 rounds
- 10s Suicides
- 10s Rest
At the end of class a few people were talking about jump ropes, so I grabbed my brand new Again Faster Revolution Rope from the vehicle to try it for the first time. Let me tell you… it’s as good as advertised. My DUs seemed effortless in a couple of quick attempts I made. The rope spins so much nicer than the cheaper speed ropes.
When I got home, I rested for a bit and then did day 2 of the Armstrong Pull-up Program, which is now my 2nd week.
