  • 8/8 Slider Hamstring Curls (one leg raised)
  • 10 Inverted Bar Rows
  • 16 Plank to Downward Dog

I did my thrusters sitting down to the bench, to protect my back. It was really humid today, so a lot of sweating! We finished in 38:11. Then we did a quick five minutes or so of hip mobility.

On to the three day weekend!

Always Adjusting

Walked 18 yesterday because the course had an outing today. It got pretty sticky out there. Late workout today since B had a meeting.

Warm-up

2 Sets

  • 4 Openers (20s hold)
  • 10 Wall Slides
  • 10 Reverse Pattern on ball (5s hold)

Conditioning

  • 3 Sets
    • Partner A: BikeErg (4,791m)
    • Partner B:
      • 20 KB RDLs OR 10/10 Single leg RDL hand supported on side (30/20#)
      • 15 Perfect Push-ups
      • 20 Seated Piked Feet Claps
  • 3 Sets
    • Partner A: Row (2,138m)
    • Partner B:
      • 20 alt Thrusters (15/10# DBs)
      • 16 Combo Laterals (front + side, 8/5#)
      • 20 Plank Jacks
  • 2 Sets
    • Partner A: BikeErg (3,051m)
    • Partner B:
      • 8/8 Slider Hamstring Curls (one leg raised)
      • 10 Inverted Bar Rows
      • 16 Plank Pike

Since it was already pretty late we didn’t do a third set on the final piece. Took us 33:24 to get through and it was a sweaty one. The single leg RDLs were bothering my back in warm-up, so I just did regular with the kettlebell. After the first set of thrusters I grabbed a medicine ball to squat down to, which helps to limit my depth and save my back.

Extra Humid

The forecast showed rain all day, so I didn’t golf, but they were wrong for the second day in a row. Maybe a good thing I didn’t golf though, because my back bothered me throughout the day. We did get some rain today though, which made it extra humid working out in the garage again.

  • 4 Openers (20s hold)
  • 10 Wall Slides
  • 10 Reverse Pattern on ball (5s hold)
