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.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

Back Scare

When I got up to pee a couple times during the night I couldn’t stand up straight and even when I woke up for good my back wasn’t great. Was just like a back tweak. After sitting and drinking my coffee I felt pretty fine though. I spent two hours in my workshop milling up some boards and then hit a workout at noon today.

Spent close to three more hours in the workshop later on, which I think my legs will feel tomorrow. I felt a twinge in my back a few times through today’s workout, but otherwise I would never believe how I felt early this morning.

Another Killer 30 EMOM

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

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.

I finished up with Crossover Symmetry Recovery.

Hiya 2021

I think my tailbone is good to go and I’m noticing minor improvements to my shoulder. I was up way too early this morning, so I got in a nap before my workout at 11am.

Probably shouldn’t have done those floor presses because they were not kind to my left shoulder.

4 Sets

  • 10 Incline Bench Press (95-95-110-110#)
  • 10 Overhead Tricep Extension (rope, 49-49-54-54#)

Knocked out Crossover Symmetry Recovery and ohhh the burn after hitting upper body.

One Not Four

Shoveled earlier, but didn’t feel like pulling vehicles out of the garage today, so I came up with something I could do in a small area. My tailbone is feeling quite a bit better today. Out in the garage at 4:30.
