Friday

Holy crap my legs are sore.  Like, having trouble standing, sitting, moving anywhere.  Quads, hamstrings, and glutes feel like someone took a baseball bat to them.

Got to the gym at the usual time and met up with Padawan Josh.

5:00 rowing warm up on 10/10 resistance, followed by 10:00 of stretching and foam rolling.  The foam rolling helped for a little bit, but legs still hurt a ton.

First:
SealFit 130516
2 Rounds, for time:
30-20-10 reps:
8ct Body Builders
4ct Flutter kicks
2ct Mountain Climbers

First time for this wod.  For this workout, you start with 30 reps of each exercise, then 20 reps of each, then 10 reps of each.  And then you repeat that for a 2nd round.  It totals 120 reps of each, although doing 4ct for flutter kicks means that you're actually doing 240 reps.  Some random dude started talking to Josh before we started and then asked to do the workout with us.  He made it through the first round before he quit.  Josh and I pushed through with me finishing a few minutes before him in 18:56.

Second:
Abs with Josh.  Did a set of anchored sit ups to failure immediately followed by a set of mountain climbers to failure.  Then scissors, leg levers, and reverse crunches.

Went to grab a quick drink from my protein shake and saw a former coworker and friend of mine in the locker room.  Hadn't seen him in a long time.  He's a former college football player who got into powerlifting before going into law enforcement.  He mentioned that he had an injury with his sciatic nerve that has kept him from doing heavy lifts lately.  10 minutes later I see him repping 495lbs on flat bench press.  Yikes.

Third:
Wanted to do some flat DB bench press.  Started with 75lbs, then 85, 95, then dropped back down to 75.  Felt decent but even with the brace my left elbow started to hurt a little towards the end.

Fourth:
Hobbled upstairs as my legs were still hurting.  Got on the stationary bike for 20min, increasing the resistance every 5min.  Had to use both hands on the railing to walk down the stairs afterwards.
