I'm searching for my first hole-in-one. I enjoy being active and making things. I work for Automattic.

Running “Warm-up”

Lower body is tired and getting sore from yesterday. Workout at 4pm.

Warm-up-ish

6 Rounds

  • 1:00 TrueForm Run
  • 1:00 Rest

I did 0.19, 0.21, 0.22, 0.24, 0.24, and 0.25 km.

Conditioning

12:00 AMRAP

  • 3 Strict Chin-ups
  • 6 Burpees over the Bar
  • 9 Squat Jumps

Kept up a pretty steady pace except for going to a slight pause after each squat jump in round three or four. Finished 13+7.

Midline

4 Rounds

  • 30/30s Side Plank w/ DB on hip (30#)
  • 10/10 KB Side Bends (53#)
  • 30s Hollow Hold
  • 15 Superman

Took me 13:11.

Acid Burning

Busy week at work, but I have Friday and Monday off for a getaway. Out in the garage just after 4pm today.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,562m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Monster Band Squats
  • 6/6 Lateral Step-ups (20″)
  • 12 alt Back Rack Reverse Lunges (45#)
  • 8 alt Back Rack Reverse Lunges (95#)
  • 6/6 Lateral Step-ups (20″, 40#)
  • 10/10 Single Leg Supported RDL (30#)
  • 10 alt Cossack Squats

Legs

4 Sets

  • 12 alt Back Rack Reverse Lunges (155-165-175-185#)

4 Sets

  • 10/10 Single Leg Supported RDL (70# KB)

Conditioning

4 Rounds (each, IGYG)

  • 18/12 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 30 Plyo Lunges

I averaged 1,400+ cal/hr an the bike, but had to break the lunges 18-12 every round. Brandi did a mix of plyo lunges, lunges, and jump squats. We finished in 14:21. This combination is deadly for creating lactic acid.

  • 8 Incline DB Row (35-40-45-45#)
  • 8 Incline DB Fly (30#)

I was going to do 4k for time, but my legs were toast from spending a lot of time working on a project in the basement, standing on the concrete.

5×3 More

Later start at 11 this morning so I could work on a project in the basement.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,532m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks

    • 3×175

Weightlifting

E40S – 10:00

  • 3 Power Cleans (10 @ 185, 5 @ 195)

Thrilled with that since about a month ago I did an EMOM of 3, using 185 for five rounds and 195 for five rounds. So this was an extra 5x3x185 in the same amount of time!

Conditioning

Partner WOD

  • 4 Rounds (each)

    • 16 Single DB Box Step Overs (24/20″, 50/35#)
  • 4 Rounds (each)
    • 200/150m TrueForm Run
    • 24 Russian KBS (53/35#)

With Brandi, doing a round of the couplet while the other person rested. She went first and it took us 13:42 for the first couplet and a total of 25:38 or 11:56 for the second couplet. The first one was much worse, with the step overs really adding up.

Accessory Wipeout

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (656m)

Conditioning

5 Rounds each (do entire round, while partner does holds)

  • 8 Burpee Box Get Overs (48/38″) / 1:00 Bottom Squat Hold
  • 15/10 cal Row / 35s Glute Bridge Hold
  • 30 Plyo Lunges / 40s Plank

Brandi went first, so I was in the hold first. Took us 27:13.

Accessory

4 Sets

  • 120/120′ Suitcase Carry (70# KB)
  • 8 Evil Wheels
  • 12 Double DB Skull Crushers (30# DBs)

I had energy until this accessory work, which kind of wiped me out!

259 Dubs

Warm-up

  • 2:00 TrueForm Run (0.34 km)
  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 10 Double Unders
  • 10 Deadlifts (45#)

Skill

I started out with a set of 92 and ended up with 259, which is a PR of 6 according to BTWB. My right calf was tight after.

Conditioning

14:00 AMRAP

  • 10 Deadlifts (135/95#)
  • 10 Double DB Hang Cleans (50/35#)
  • 10 alt Renegade Rows (50/35#)

I did two rounds of deadlifts unbroken and then went 5-5. Everything else was unbroken. Really grippy. Finished with 8+17. Not my jam with all weighted movements.

  • 12 alt Single Leg Lifts (L-sit on parallettes)

Legs

4 Sets

Such a nasty superset.

4 Sets

  • 4 Dead Stop Front Squats (145-155-165-175#)
  • 16 Banded Hamstring Curls (blue)

I think the dead stop front squats are being retired. We aren’t fans.

Conditioning

8:00 AMRAP

  • 3 Strict Pull-ups

I did 9 rounds exactly.

This ended up being harder than expected. I was happy with my high pace throughout. I did every round of chin-ups 6-4. Brandi and I finished in 29:29.
