Odds and Evens

I was up bright and early (before 6am) to head to Gladwin for a golf scramble. Got back to Saginaw around 6pm, relaxed a bit and then did a garage WOD.

20:00

  • 10 Burpees (odd minutes)
  • 5 DB Front Squats (50# DBs, even minutes)

I loved the 10 burpees every minute for 10 minutes so much I thought I’d reuse that. My sweet spot for 10 burpees seems to be around 24 seconds and 21-22 seconds if I push extra hard. I was experimenting with some stuff to increase my turnover. Seems promising, but I’ll have to keep at it to see. I should have done 7 or 8 reps for front squats, because 5 went by pretty fast. Over the 10 minutes that was 100 burpees and 50 front squats.

I took a 5 minute rest before moving on.

10:00

  • 10 AbMat Sit-ups (odd minutes)
  • 10 HR Push-ups (even minutes)

I planned on doing 20 minutes of that, but the reps were going by too fast and it was too easy. For the next 10 minutes I bumped up the rep counts. No extra rest in between; the 20 minute timer kept running.

10:00

  • 15 AbMat Sit-ups (odd minutes)
  • 15 HR Push-ups (even minutes)

In the last 2 sets push-ups after the 10th rep it was a struggle to get the rest, so it workout out perfectly. Over 20 minutes that was 125 reps of each. I took a minute or 2 of rest and then ran a 7:20 mile around the neighborhood.
