8am Strong Fit
Zercher carries for the first time, and they really crunched me at 195+130. 12×140 sandbag throws in 1min was fun!
9am Short Circuit
Spent a bunch of the strength section stretching out and rolling my back from Strong Fit. Joined for the metcon which was super fun (and not back heavy!).
Didn’t have time for a 3rd class today 😝 had a little FOMO from all the folks enjoying the partner workout.
Fitness Saturday!
9am group class with Nick n Whit!
Partnered with Jaime which was super fun – enjoyed our relative strengths complimenting each other through our both metcons.
A) 16 rounds + 16 (?)
I did this at 155#. Started with 10dus, but after going unbroken on that a few rounds I bumped up to the full volume. Hit a PR at 22 in a row!!! Stoked about this.
B) I think we were within 2 reps of 14 rounds.
I did 5 kipping pull-ups each round. Took a while to find my kip, but after that I could do at least 3 in a row and the last two in each round were a sketchy effort. Need to tighten up the kip big time, but happy with this & far & away the most pull ups I’ve done in a work out. Makes me feel like half-Murph volume might be possible this year!
10am SC with Brett & Gregoire
Good stuff as always – the banded shoulder rock crab thing felt amazing after all the pull ups. Front rack KB walk was a revelation – don’t think I’ve ever had anything force me to engage my core so much! Should do these more in my warm up.
Cash out: Steak & Eggs with Jen B.
Whoever said Strong Fit was adult recess was totally right. Especially when today’s mini-metcon ended in chaos. Ha!
Short Circuit strength moves covered a bit of the same ground as Strong Fit (Arnold press when we’d just done TGUs with presses, double KB carry when we’d done Zercher carry) so I probably should have gone a little lighter on those movements.
My midline feels good and worked out now!
Did yoga instead of my usual AR. Enjoyed the chillness of it all.
9 am group class
One way to test if your 1RM for deadlifts increased, is to do your previous 1RM 5x for multiple sets. Amazingly, me and my partner made it through 13 sets. Getting more of a feel for the jump rope and feeling the tension in the movement in each swing. Still doing single unders, but i’m able to do them faster which will eventually lead to doubles.
Also did 10 am Yoga, which was a nice rest from the days work 🙂
