With it being around 65° it hit a bit harder today.
On Monday we did day 6 and day 7 from the yoga series and they were about 23 minutes each. Day 6 was a really good core burner.
3 Sets
I scaled back from the 12 DB RDLs.
3 Sets
Scaled here as well instead of 8 back squats.
3 Sets
Dropped to lower dumbbells this time

Wearing the weight vest was a nice change and still manageable. Trying to be careful with may back, especially with flights this week. Took us 32:24.

Yesterday we did day 3 of MOVE – A 30 Day Yoga Journey, which was 24 minutes long. My chest is still sore from the ring dips.

We did this alternating rounds like we have been on leg day and it took us 30:34. This was money for the first week of a new cycle. The run felt really good today (maybe because it was first) and I could feel my hamstrings lighting up on the RDLs in the second set. Those step-ups were so terrible. Might try wearing a weight vest for the last superset next week.

This really elevates the heart rate for being a core workout.
Big surprise, thrusters and pull-ups for 22.3! You would think that after 10+ years of the Open they’ve give it a rest and come up with a new combination.
I sure as hell wasn’t going to do bar muscle-ups on our low bar like last year and I wasn’t going to the outside rig. So I put in toes-to-bars. Also not going to waste time switching the weight on the bar, so stuck to one weight and went light because we never really do thrusters due to our backs. I went 8-7-6 on the the pull-ups and then realized I haven’t done a double under in months! I missed many times in every round and my heart rate kept spiking. I went 8-7-6 on the first round of thrusters. Then 7-6-5 for both the T2B and second thrusters. Chest-to-bar pull-ups are my nemesis, so I did all kipping triples. Finished with unbroken thrusters at 11:49, taking a lot of too long breaks along the way. Was still wrecked after! Most importantly I made it out of the Open injury free this year without any stress.
3 Sets
Those French presses were hard after all of the thrusters.

B had to substitute a bunch of movements today because of something in her hip. Increased the weights, bumped the reverse lunges up to 16 from 12 and did two more leg lifts per side. The second part was really bad. Took us 30:26.
2 Rounds
B came up with this cycle and it was a good one. We’ll probably increase to 16 reverse lunges next week. This took us 26:36 today.
2 Rounds
Good one that B found online. Rough on the shoulders.
Seemed like we were cruising, but B switched up some of her movements this week which may have been a little slower. I bumped up the weight on my step-ups from 40-50-60-70. What will we come up with for the next leg cycle?
4 Rounds
We smoked it in 5:25.
Bumping up 10# on each set of step-ups was no joke, especially that 70 pounds! Took us 27:01 to finish, which is about 11 seconds faster than last week and we did have some burn time due to B starting on the wrong movement and some delays trying to get the bike moved to a more stable position.
3 Rounds
3:32
Slight tweaks to the format we’ve been liking with different movements and placements for the types. Was supposed to be 10 goblet squats in that first section, but my back has something lingering so I scaled back and did the Sumo deadlifts instead of a classic. We went straight through again and I went first today. Took us 27:12.
We’re trying to get back on track and be more consistent in the gym. Next week we’ll be making some changes to our shopping and eating.
I did 6+21, 6+9, and 5+10, with all kipping pull-ups on that last piece. My vision started to get blurry right after and I ended up getting a migraine, which put me in bed the rest of the night.
