Calf Strikes Again

Warm-up

  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 3 Sets
    • 40′ Tip toe Walk
    • 10 Calf Raises

Back

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal Row
  • 12 DB Seal Rows (30#)

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal SkiErg
  • 12 Lat Pulldowns (93#)

Conditioning

10 Rounds (each)

  • 30 Double Unders
  • 5 Burpees

Partner with B, each doing a round at a time. My right calf blew out after about 15 dubs in round 8 and I went to the ground. So I did 10 burpees to finish out the last two rounds. B was cruising and doing about 42 singles on the jump rope. We finished in 11:41.

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 20 Leg Lifts
  • 20 OH DB Crunches (60#)
  • 14 Plank DB Pull Throughs (60#)

Good one from IBEX. Took me 7:16.

Cardio Pumped Back

Last night we finished up with the rocks around the outdoor gym area. This morning spent several hours organizing the non-gym side of the garage.

Conditioning

We went for the run around the soccer fields and back home, which is 2.72 miles. We did it in 28:30 today which is about 90 seconds better. Brandi was feeling good, but I was dying because I hadn’t eaten enough. Slammed a coke and had some rice cakes when we got home.

Back

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal Row
  • 12 DB Seal Rows (30#)

Not much rest here because you went again as soon as the other person got off the rower. Really felt the burn with the dumbbells.

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal SkiErg
  • 12 Lat Pulldowns (104-104-93-93#)

Same thing here with slightly more rest because the calories take longer. This one really stung though and I had to drop weight even though I’d already gone lower than I usually would.

These supersets were an idea I came up with and they worked much better than I ever expected. Will have to keep them in the rotation for a bit.
