This morning I picked up two Concept 2 Model C rowers I “won” in an auction from a local college. They aren’t in as good of shape as I was hoping, especially for what I paid. Thought I might be able to make a nice chunk of change off them, but they’re just going to be a project to break even now.
My abs are more sore and my triceps are getting a little sore. Got to the gym at 1:30. Did an easy 30 calories on the Echo Bike to warm up. Then I practiced handstand walking for 15 minutes or so and it was a shit show. Maybe I’m fatigued from the last few days.
Strength-ish
2 Sets
- 2:00 Banded Bear Hug March (30# MB)
- 2:00 Rest
Used a green band and my hips were on fire!
Conditioning
15:00 AMRAP
- 10 cal Echo Bike
- 5 Bench Press (165#)
- 10 Pull-ups
Warmed up with 10×45 and 5×135 on the bench press. Originally I wrote down 185 but I could feel my triceps in the warm-up sets and didn’t want to miss or have to break up sets. Smart move. Wore grips the whole time and did 2×5 for every round of pull-ups. It’s probably been over a month since I’d done kipping pull-ups. I finished 9 rounds and 10 calories.
Gymnastics
5 Sets
- 30s Handstand Hold (facing wall)
- 1:00 Rest
I need to improve my shoulder mobility for the walking, so may start doing a lot of this.
