Avoid Americans

On Sunday night I woke up several times during the night with my shoulders just crying from the double overhead holds My shoulders and quads were pretty sore in the morning. Walked 18 holes, which I think helped a lot. Today I was out in the garage around 12:30.

Year of the Engine – Interval

12 Rounds

• 1:00 Row
• 1:00 Rest

Almost 2 months ago I did 15 rounds of this at a 1:39/500m pace, so my goal pace was a second faster. Felt good and I got 306 meters for 9 rounds, 3 @ 307, and 1 @ 308.

306-306-306-306-306-306-
306-306-307-307-307-308m

Went to the 4pm class.

Warm-up

3 Rounds

• 45s Row
• 8 Plyo Lunges
• 30s Bottom Squat Hold
• 5 American KBS (35#)

Strength

4 Sets

• 8/8 Bulgarian Split Squats (53#)
• 8/8 Single Leg Deadlifts (53#)

Conditioning

12:00 AMRAP

• 8-10-12… Wall Balls (20#, 10′)
• 8-10-12… American KBS (53#)
• 30 Double Unders

I had no plans to try the 70# Rx weight. I missed a double under in round two, but otherwise every movement was unbroken the whole way. I finished the round of 18s, 20 wall balls, and 4 swings for 360 total reps. I had about 40 seconds left when I picked up the kettlebell and after those four reps I tweaked my back, so I was done. Couldn’t really stand up straight so I hope it’s not bad when I wake up tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Maybe I should stick to Russian Swings. At least my conditioning felt great; I could have kept doing unbroken wall balls for at least 2 more rounds.
