  • Weighted pullups x5, x3, x1 + 10 x couplet of 10 GHD situps and 10 back extensions Workout

    I did a workout where you do a max weighted pullup x 5, then rest for 5 mintues, then do a max weight pullup x 3, rest 5 mintues and then do a max weight pullup x 1.
    I hurt my finger/ hand initially warming up, but was able to just suck it up and do the sets. I did a lot of warm up sets because I was feeling a bit beat up and sore and didn't want injury. The weighted pullups felt good, and I could have done more sets, but that was not the point.
    I was running out of time so I ran upstairs and did a quick midline MetCon to finish off.
    good normal warm up
    bodyweight x 10 super slow and strict
    20 lbs x 6
    30 lbs x 6
    37.5 lbs x 5

    45 lbs x 5
    rest 5 mins.
    60 lbs x 3
    rest 5 mins.
    72.5 lbs x 1
    rest 1:30
    75 lbs x 1
    All good reps
    Because my hand was a little injured, I did wrap my hand and then gripped more in my middle of the hand and used a bit more grip/ forearm.
    I was trying to concentrate on squeezing and not exploding and getting a kip or anything like that.

    Ran upstairs and did a couplet of:
    10 rounds of:
    10 GHD situps (on the med ball and the stall bar)
    10 back extensions
    (8:25)

    I had to leave immediately as they actually closed the gym on me (early) and I ended up stretching after walking the dog. Drank a protein shake and a big salad.

  • Ocean City WOD #2: decending ladder of DUs: 50,40,30,20,10, 30 sec HSPU Hold, 10 Burpees Workout

    I did a new workout of: decending ladder of DUs of 50,40,30,20,10
    50 DUs (150 total)
    30 sec HSPU position hold (2:30 total hold)
    10 burpees (50 total reps)

    This one really taxed my shoulders. As the DUs decreased, the time between the 30 sec. HSPU hold and the burpees decreased and you got more and more tired.
    GREAT couplet of the HSPU hold and the burpees
    I got a bit scratched up because I was working out with no shirt, WOD #2 and my chest got all scratched while doing the outside burpees on the grass and twigs, etc.

    Killer triplet, GREAT workout. Shoulders were fried and I was ready to take a swim and relax a bit.

  • Ocean City WOD #1: 75 HSPU plus do 20 DUs on the minute until completed with HSPUs Workout

    I did this WOD with almost NO warm up.
    That was STUPID
    I basically did a 1-2 minute stretch and just went for it.
    After about the second of third minute I was winded and my reps went WAY down. I was kipping after the 2nd minute, more to save energy and not fail. I did it outside of the pool at the beach.
    This took me about 8:45

    Still a fun WOD...
    Kendall did her WOD after this.
    She did: 5 rounds of:
    10 seconds HSPU position hold, 10 burpees, repeat with 10 seconds HSPU hold and then 8, 6, 4, 2, burpees.
    When she hit 4 burpees she took off in a sprint to the finish. That was my favorite. She was hating those initial rounds. I assisted her to get inverted and was there spotting her to get down safely and to keep the hold safely.

    I LOVE working out with Kendall and seeing her get the hard work and the reward of accomplishment.
    Post WOD #2 we swam for about an hour and played in the water.

  • Complex of: DL x 5, Hang Power Clean x 3, Push Jerk x 3 Workout

    General warm up then:
    started the Complex with:
    75 lbs
    90 lbs
    105 lbs

    115 lbs
    125 lbs
    135 lbs (I wore the belt on this and the next set)
    140 lbs
    145 lbs
    The weights felt fine and good form, unti lthe last set, and I basically pressed the weight not Push Jerk. I was mad so I worked on push jerk so I used a medium light weight of 115 to tax me and work on the form and explosiveness from the hips when I was tired, toward the end of the set.

    I finished with a strict push jerk with 115 lbs x 10 (no belt or anything)
    quick stretch and then back to the park to play with the kids.
    We went for a nice ride on our bikes after a dog walk
