60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 5 Day 3

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting.

Happy New Year! I really needed the rest day yesterday after hitting the first two workouts of the week within 14 hours. I also played about an hour of half court basketball on Tuesday night. Got a nice nap in during the day yesterday too. Alex came over around 10 to lift.

Went a little easy on these today. Supposed to be a light week. 🙂 Took up just under 2 hours for all of the lifting.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 30s Over the Box Jumps (24″)
  • 30s Rest

I was planning to do 10 rounds thinking I’d get like 10 per round. Got 15 though in the first round so quickly decided 5 rounds would be enough. I don’t want to kill my legs for the next two days. Did 15-13-14-14-15.
