Thought about doing one of the engine builder workouts yesterday, but with my WHOOP recovery score still only up to 46% and my back feeling shitty it became a rest day. Needed it. Back in the green with 76% recovery today.
Out in the garage around 10am.
Engine Builder – Interval
5 Rounds
- 2:30 Airdyne (AD2)
- 2:00 Rest
I replaced 50 calories each interval with 2:30 since I can only see calories 1/5 of the time on the monitor. I’d have to convert 50 to some higher number anyway to account for the AD2’s quicker calorie accumulation. Last week I couldn’t hold 85 RPM for intervals of three minutes with 30 second rests, but was confident I could for this and I did. My calories were 97, 99, 98, 95, 100 and distances were 1.06, 1.06, 1.06, 1.04, 1.07 miles. It felt good to push that pace.
Accessory
Dumbbell Curls – 21s
- 7-7-7 @ 25#
- 7-7-7 @ 25#
- 7-7-7 @ 20#
When I get through two sessions at all 25s I think I’ll try one of the alternate 21s workouts.
Gymnastics Strength
8 Rounds (Tabata)
- 20s HR Push-ups
- 10s Rest
Didn’t let myself rest during the work sets or I should say not any extra beyond the breath I had to start taking before pressing up. My numbers were something like 14-12-10-8-8-7-7-6 for a total of 72 reps, which is 6 fewer than a month ago. That was the first day I did 21s though and only used 10-15-20# for the three sets.
Now I’m off for San Diego. I wonder what my recovery score will look like in the morning after flying across the country and trying to sleep with the three hour time difference.
