Last night I started getting a headache before bed and then felt it when I woke up several times through the night. It was gone this morning. This has started happening as I’ve pushed hard in some workouts.
I’m still excited about how the wall balls felt yesterday. After losing 15 pounds last year, I could feel a huge difference in burpees, but hadn’t really thought about wall balls or maybe just hadn’t done enough large numbers of them. Makes sense though; being 20 pounds lighter per rep really adds up when doing 100+.
Thought I’d be feeling my quads more today, but not too bad so far. Went to the 4pm class.
Warm-up
10:00 AMRAP
- 1:00 Assault Bike
- 5 Inch Worms + Down Dog
- 10 Double DB RDL (20# DBs)
- 5/5 Single Arm Half Kneeling Strict Press (20#)
Skill
10:00 EMOM (alt)
- HS Walk Practice
- Assault Bike
Can tell I haven’t practiced in weeks. Need to get back on it before the Open.
Conditioning
3 Rounds
- 60 Walking Lunges
- 40 Ball Slams (30#)
- 20 HSPU
The lunges started to burn in the first round and the ball slams were tougher than I expected. Went 7-7-6 on the handstand push-ups each round. Finished in 15:39.
Gymnastics
8 Rounds (Tabata)
- 20s T2B
- 10s Rest
Stayed after class for a little extra credit. My goal was to hold sets of eight for as long as I could. I made five rounds, then did a set of five and three singles. Only four singles in round 7, but came back with five singles to close. 57 total toes-to-bars, which ties my best from 2014.
