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.

Toss the Bar Around a Bit

I was really tired later in the evening, after processing wood for a bit. Today I’m feeling surprisingly good after those deadlifts. I can already feel my posterior chain though and I had still been sore from Wednesday’s workout.

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?

    • 6/6 Lateral Step-ups (20″, 40-50-60# DB + 70# KB)

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.

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.
