My neck and low back are a little tight from looking up at the wall for 152 reps. My shoulders are a little sore too, but my lower body seems fine so far. I set an alarm to get up for the 9am class since my rest schedule is changed for the Open.
Warm-up
5 Rounds
- 1:00 Run
- 3 Strict Pull-ups
- 5 Push-ups
- 10 Air Squats
I started to feel my legs more every set of squats.
Strength
Bench Press
- 10×45#
- 5×95
- 5×135
- 5×165
- 5×195
- 5×215
- 5×230
I hadn’t looked at my logs since the workout went up after getting to the gym, so I couldn’t remember what I’ve been lifting. Nice surprise to smoke the 5×215 I did a month ago. Gains baby! We were on a clock, so maybe working up with fewer sets made a big difference.
Conditioning
6 Rounds
- 50s Double Unders
- 10 Push Jerks (115#)
- 30s Plank
- 10 Ring Rows
- 20s Hollow Hold
- 10s Bent Hollow Hold
This was really an alternating EMOM with 3 stations, but it was easier to record on BTWB like this. I started with a nice set of 75 double unders, but missed a couple of times in most rounds, so was usually getting 65-75 reps in about 45 seconds due to transition time. The push jerks weren’t too bad and the ring rows felt really solid. This workout got a lot sweatier than I was expecting because there really wasn’t any rest with the holds.
I wasn’t excited about moving so early, but it feels good to have a workout done for the day.
