Thursday

Shin felt better, but still going to stay off it.

I'm flying to Virginia this evening so I bumped my gym workout a little earlier to make sure I had time to get home and get cleaned up.  Got there around 1240 and met up with Padawan Josh again.

Shortened to a 3:00 rowing warm up on max resistance, just kept a steady sub 2:00/500m pace.  Followed it with 10:00 of stretching.

First:
SealFit 120831
For time:
100 Burpees
*Every minute, on the minute, do 3 strict pull ups

Tough workout, since burpees still kill me.  After the first round, where I got 18 burpees in 1min, I tried to get between 12-15 per minute.  Last few rounds were pretty bad.  Finished in 8:24.

Second:
Abs.  Did 5 rounds of max reps in 2:00 for 5 different exercises.  Started with decline sit ups, then side bends, reverse crunches, flutter kicks, and finally scissors.

Third:
Another Crossfit strength wod, 091007.  Thrusters, 7 rounds of 1 rep.  Thrusters are basically a front squat holding a barbell on your shoulder/chest, as you come up from the front squat, you use your momentum to throw the barbell into a shoulder press above your head.  Started at 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145, and then 155lbs.  I tried 165 but it was not happening.

Fourth:
Did some fat grip pull up and towel grip pull up work with Padawan Josh.  3 sets of max reps for each exercise.

Fifth:
Did the quick leg blaster workout from Mountain Athlete.  No rests, 20 squats, 10 lunges per leg, 10 jump lunges per leg, then 10 jump squats.  Its a butt kicker.  Padawan Josh was having issues with the jump squats so I finished before him.  I got down immediately and did hand release push ups until he was done.

Headed to Virginia in a bit.  Workouts will have to be all bodyweight stuff for a little while.
