I think I went all unbroken ring rows in cycle 1 and 10, 6-4, 6-4 in cycle 2. I did 4+7 and 4+20 in the second AMRAP, which was one where I could just keep going. I improved my transitions and squat speed in the second one.

Time for More Shoulder Rest

Warm-up

  • Crossover Symmetry Activation
  • 3:00 TrueForm Run (0.54 km)
  • 2 Sets

Wasn’t great on my shoulder so I switched to close grip.

  • 10 DB Fly (35# DBs)

4 Sets

  • 12 Tricep Push Downs (bar, 71#

Was supposed to be max push-ups, but that also is not a good position for my shoulder.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 10 Deadlifts (155#)

Time to start doing single dumbbell movements that could be in the Open. Squats felt good and I learned I actually prefer the dumbbell for a goblet squat. I broke the last 2-3 rounds of ring rows 5-5. Deadlifts got slow. Took me 6:36.

Another Killer 30 EMOM

Yep, my legs and ass are sore. Out in the garage at 4.

  • 24 Lunges

Opfhhh, that was another grind. Going in I was thinking 12 ring rows and 20 cal, but I changed those when I was doing the first round of each and it worked out to be a perfect adjustment. I’m really starting to like these 30 minute EMOMs.

Midline

4 Rounds

  • 20 Swimmer Crunches ⁣
  • 20 Crunches⁣
  • 20 Leg Lifts
  • 20 Single Leg Lifts ⁣(big Flutter Kicks)

Upping the ante on the three rounds of 25 reps of each, which ends up being five more reps of each movement. Took me 9:40 compared to compared to 9:34 for the three rounds.

I finished up with Crossover Symmetry Recovery.

Lucky 7s

I don’t think I’d mentioned it, but my WHOOP sensor died this week. They’re sending me a new one, but I feel so naked without it! I think I got a good night of sleep, but who really knows without the data to prove it. haha In the garage at 9:30.
