It's Getting Kind of Hot in SC...

Sunday

I love open gym-
some light olympic lifting

Good Mornings
7x3 at 93#

Weighted Box Jumps
5x2 16" box 25# DB

100m runs x6
1 min rest between

Monday
Front Squat
sets of 2: 83, 113, 143, 163, 178, 183
(oops! It looks like I only got in 6 sets, not 7. As we all know, the magic of lifting only happens at certain numbers-singles, doubles, triples, or sets of 5 or 7.)

WOD
On the minute for 15 minutes:
2 power cleans-108x10, 103x5
5 push ups
1 sprint

This was hard, but working with this weight on the clean was definitely keeping me focused on a strong pull. This was rather taxing, and I sure wanted to give up on the last couple of rounds, but what do you know? I made it through, yet again!

**Edit-I realized that I should note here that it was actually so taxing that I just stayed down on the floor after one set of very slow push-ups, skipping the sprint. I was all out of steam, and I exercised my right to be defiant and stubborn and just take those few extra seconds on rest...

Really Fast???

First:
10x40 yd sprints

I was super fast on the first one, super fast. :) Then it all went downhill from there, rather rapidly I must say. If I am truly objective, I know that I can see huge improvement in my sprinting. When I got out to the parking lot and looked down at the orange cone, I suddenly remembered some of those days last summer when I would have to run sprints the length of the parking lot. I HATED those sprints because I.could.not.do.them.at.all. And objectively, even though I was still slow tonight, I am much, much faster than last summer.

Second:
3 rounds
10 burpees
10 DB Rows R 35#
10 DB Rows L 35#
Time: 4:33

Third:
3x max weighted plank holds (otherwise know as the Haynes Hold)
1:30 15#, :45 25#, :52 25#
Just so you know, you can't trust Kyle or Melissa when they tell you that they will let you know when you hit 30 sec...
