Monday 9/8
2K Row
9:23
I paced myself at the beginning of this because I've been having so much trouble with rowing lately. But about 500m in, I realized I was a bit stronger than I was used to being and so I stepped it up a notch.
Tuesday 9/9
Cindy
5 Pullups (blue band)
10 pushups (strict, no knees)
15 air squats
8 +10
Pushup were the limiting factor here. If I could manage to drop 20 pounds and get my bench press up to 260 or so, it would help a lot. I would probably be up in the 12-13 rounds range, which is totally respectable.
Wednesday 9/10
1000m Row
then
90 single skips
15 KB Swings (#53) (RX was 20 KB Swings)
10 KB Presses (used 2 small kettlebells)
X3
14:13
The KB presses were interesting. It was a substitute for HSPUs. They were performed seated on the floor with legs and feet extended in to the front. I'd never done this movement before but I really liked it.
Thursday 9/11
2K Row
8:52
My goal on this was to keep it under 9 minutes, which I did easily. I would say it was about 80-90% effort. I definitely could have beat this time if I was really pushing it.
Looking back to 2011, it looks like I recorded a 2K row in 8:14 back when I was still pretty motivated and working out all the time. I would imagine I can get pretty close to that in the next month.
Farmer's Carry
3 X 150m with two 53 pound KB's
I added this on because of the trouble I was having with this in a WOD a couple of weeks prior. That WOD was 5 rounds and I used the 35 pound KBs.
Friday 9/12
12 Power Snatches (#85)
12 Box Jumps (20 inch)
9 Power Snatches
9 Box Jumps
6 Power Snatches
6 Box Jumps
Didn't catch the time on this but it was something like 4:40.
Push Press cleaned from the floor
5 reps at 95
5 reps at 145
5 reps at 145
3 reps at 155
