Like Cindy

Yesterday ended up being a “rest” day because I worked on a bathroom and then replaced lights and ceiling tiles in the laundry room. I was exhausted by the end of the day.

Active Life – Single-leg Bias

Warmup – 3 Sets

  • 5 Sumo Inchworms
  • 20 Kossacks

Won’t be wearing the Nano 7 for Kossacks ever again. They have a harder ankle structure to the shoe, which was not comfortable with those positions.

Workout – 3 Sets

  • 10 Sumo Stance Good Mornings (95#)
  • 8 Eccentric Knee Flexion (20#)

Those knee flexions really open up the ankles.

Conditioning

20:00 AMRAP

  • 3 Strict Pull-ups
  • 6 HR Push-ups
  • 9 Wall Balls

I saved this one from CrossFit Linchpin and finally got around to trying it out. Neat variaton on “Cindy.” I dropped from the top on every pull-up and got right back on the bar for the next rep. Wasn’t confident I’d last if I did them together and sometimes it bothers my shoulder, which has felt a bit weird after the jerks on Friday. I got through 19 rounds plus 2 pull-ups. As expected, the hand relase push-ups start to get slower and slower.

Accessory

4 Rounds

  • 15s L-hang
  • 15s Dead Hang
  • 15s Rest
  • 30s Wall Sit
  • 15s Rest

B wanted to do some hanging, so I came up with this. Couldn’t tell you the last time I did a wall sit. I worked up quite a sweat again from this.

Active Life – Back Max

10:00 for Quality

  • 3-5 breaths Ring Plank Hold (Front Leaning Rest)
  • 3-5 breaths 1 Arm Overhead Hold (53#, each arm)
  • 8 Romanian Deadlifts (115#) + a 3-5 breath hold at bottom position

Got light-headed from the RDL hold a couple of times.

Move on Sunday

Rested yesterday.

30:00 EMOM (alt)

  • Jingle Jangles
  • Front Leaning Rest (Plank) on Rings
  • Box Side Steps (14″)
  • Russian KBS (35#)
  • Duck Walk

Clock was set for :45/:15 to give time to move between areas. Try duck walking backwards.

3 Rounds

  • 20s L-sit
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s L-sit
  • 40s Rest
  • 20s Double Under
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s Double Under
  • 40s Rest
  • 20s Push Press (45#)
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s Push Press
  • 40s Rest

Run off a Tabata type interval on the clock. Did my L-sits with just knees up. I was getting 19-20 followed up by 16-17 push presses. Missed too many times in the first 2 rounds of dubs.

Nothing crazy today, but worked up a good sweat.
