  • 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.
    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.

  • 12 x 3 LOW Box Squats Workout

    I had not squated in quite some time and after warming up to possibly do a 10 round clean & jerk, and feeling weak in and a bit of pain in the overused shoulders I decided to do a 3x on the minute box squat WOD
    I warmed up with the
    bar x 10
    95 lbs x 6 normal squatting
    125 x 6 a few normal BS & a few box squat on bench (not low enough)
    145 x 3 off the LOW box of 4 stacked plates and the step box

    165 x 3
    175 x 3

    185 x 3 (did about 10-12 sets on the minute of these) - they felt good. I was getting faster and better each round. I felt it a bit where the bar was resting because I had not squatted in a long time. No belt etc.
    Good WOD
