Some Hills

Lot’s going on today. Headed to Survival Fitness earlier than the normal 10am so I could drag the sled, get in a workout, and be out of there by 11am.

Warm-up

0.56 mile slid drag with 135# in 14:45. Needed this because my ass and hamstrings are beat up from yesterday.

Strength

Weighted Chin-ups

• 3 @ 20#
• 3 @ 25#
• 3 @ 25#
• 3 @ 30#
• 3 @ 35#

Probably could have gone up 5# each set instead of spending 2 sets at 25#.

Weighted Push-ups

• 8 @ 45#
• 8 @ 55#
• 8 @ 55#
• 8 @ 55#

Got really tough on the last reps of the last two sets.

Weighted Planks

• 30s @ 70#
• 30s @ 80#
• 30s @ 90#
• 30s @ 90#

Had to really fight to keep my core from dropping. Heavy!

WOD

7 Rounds

• 7 HSPU
• 7 K2E
• 21 DU (Unbroken)

I did this one back in February out in Phoenix in a time of 10:48, with some HSPU failing at the end. I hadn’t missed at all on DU then though. Today I missed one set of DU after 14 and another set after 16. Still getting used to the lighter Rx cable I think. My HSPU were much better though, so I finished in 9:55! Solid improvement in 5 months.

I had a 90 minute massage in the afternoon that was great.

In the evening I went out to the soap box derby with Kevin and Ellen to run some hill sprints. Warmed up with a jog around the track which is probably 600-700m.

10 Rounds

• Hill Sprint (About 150 paces)
• Slow walk back down to recover

Walked a lap for a cool down. Not too long after, my hamstrings were tightening up already. Deadlifting should be fun in the morning.
