Ran errands this morning and were out in the garage around 11:30.
40:00 AMRAP
With those big numbers on the machines is was really a mental battle to stay in it and keep up a decent pace. I finished two rounds with about 8 seconds to spare. Then I mowed the lawn.
Busy day, so out in the garage around 9:30 for a quick workout
4 Rounds (Partner, IGYG per movement)
Took us 23:24.
Yesterday I walked 18 holes. In the evening I mowed the lawn and finished digging the second post hole, which took a little over a half hour.
4x
I was getting an average of 100 meters.
10 Rounds (IGYG)
Brandi went first. Was taking me about 21 seconds per run and we finished at 16:37.
4 Rounds
Nasty one. We both finished at 8:19.
Took about a 30 minute break during the day to do more digging. Out in the garage at about 4:30.

5 Rounds
Not sure this idea of the triple air squat pull-ups really hit it’s mark, but it was challenging and I was breathing heavy. Finished in 9:19.
Spent a little over an hour digging later in the evening.
I walked 18 holes yesterday and my back got tight on the back nine. I also spent about 30 minutes in the evening compacting sand to prepare for digging the post holes. My back is feeling good today though.
The parallette is a little over two inches taller than the barbell and roughly twice as wide too. My runs were about 2:00 each, so I was doing about 10 burpees a minute. Finished at exactly 9:00.

Then we spent about an hour digging a couple of the post holes and made pretty good progress for neither of us having any experience doing it.
Packed day yesterday and stayed up late watching a Marvel series. Out in the garage around 11:30.
10:00 EMOM
30:00 AMRAP – Partner
I go, you go with Brandi. Took us about 31 minutes, but my phone overheated so the timer kind of messed up.
3 Rounds
We were going to do four rounds, but I messed up setting the timer. Oh well, that was hard enough.
We headed over to Midland City Forest after 4pm and went for a 2.95 mile hike, which took just over 57 minutes.
My back is feeling much better. In the garage just after 11am.
E80S – 10 Rounds
Was taking me 21-22 seconds. Much harder than I expected.
I warmed up with 10+10 @ 20 pounds.
E2M – 3 Rounds (alt)
This was alternating every two minutes between the two supersets. I kept to one set of dumbbells for the bench press and double the reps because Brandi was handing the me weights after I laid down on the bench so I didn’t tweak my back getting down in to position. The really high reps was tough!
Hopefully I’ll be able to mow the lawn later, but it’s raining again now.
Yesterday I walked 18 holes and could feel my back at the top of my backswing. It wasn’t feeling great the rest of the day. It was rough getting out of my chair last night and I could feel it throughout the night. So modifying movements today. Out in the garage at 4pm. I did some monster walks without the band.
It was definitely more comfortable doing them reverse, as long as I braced my core properly when I stepped back with my left leg.
All with two second pause.
3 Sets
7 Rounds (each, IGYG)
I did the strict pull-ups so I wouldn’t put that stress on my back. Got faster each round on the bike and stuck to 3-2 every round of the chest to bars. We finished in 14:58.
Went for a 2.08 mile walk.
I used the massage gun on my leg and hip for awhile last night. During lunch I did a bit of work on the area that’ll be my outdoor gym and I don’t think my back was too happy about it. Worked out at 5pm today and could tell right away I was going to have to adjust, so I did.
I guess I haven’t tested any of the typical distances on the bike, so I had no idea what to shoot for. Took me 1:30.8. I kind of hit a wall with my legs with about 300 meters to go. During the rest I got back on the bike for three minutes and went 1,148 meters to help flush. I did the toes to bar in 20×3, which took me just under five minutes. The small set strategy is really paying off when there are huge numbers like this, so I don’t have to resort to singles. I did 6×10 for the snatches, trying to protect my back. Those took a little more than four minutes. I almost couldn’t get on the box for my first step up! I went side to side for them. Those took me about 3:15 and overall the 60s took me 12:27.
We ended up not doing anything else for the day since my back was feeling wrong. Hopefully I wake up and am ok to golf tomorrow.
On Saturday we spent about 2 hours hauling sand and then I mowed the lawn. That was enough for the day.
On Sunday morning I did more yard work, we had some plans, and we got out in the garage around 4:30 to start a workout. Neither of us were in to it and we decided to go for a walk instead, which was about 2.7 miles. Bodies just needed a break I think.
Yesterday I walked 18 holes on the golf course. In the evening I made 10 more trips carrying two 5-gallon buckets of sand to the dumpster, which was done in less than 30 minutes.
We really haven’t worked out since Friday! Up near my hip socket started feeling weird today around 3pm when I was sitting at my desk.
Push Press
I was supposed to be doing a 10:00 EMOM of 3 reps, but I only got through the first set and then on in the second set I had some shooting pain from that left leg. So after pouting a couple of minutes I sat down and worked my shoulders
6:00 EMOM
27-21-15-9
Was supposed to be deadlifts with 225 (planned to scale back to 185), but I could feel my leg when I tried a couple reps with 95 pounds. So I decided to use the bike. Was able to go unbroken on the push-ups and finished in 5:01
4 Rounds
Been a long time since we’d done this one and it showed. Took me 6:43.

I’m going to sit here and hit my leg with the massage gun. I really hope this isn’t some new injury. Maybe some kind of pinched nerve from sitting all day.
