WOD

Michael

Buttercups:

Three rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
10 Back Extensions
20 Sit-ups

Total time: 11:26

I subbed 100m swim for the run, supermans for the extensions, and did regular (no GHD available) situps.

Felt great! After the first round, I had to adjust my swimming. This was good because being a bit winded made me call on better stroke mechanics. Situps and supermans were a breeze. I can see getting past buttercup on this one pretty soon.

Yep!

I got a lot of looks! I love that. Shock value is great motivator for a former 1980's punk. The deck was cold.

Speaking of the pool - I have really been working on my squat depth and have found that standing in the shallow end and forcing myself into as deep (no pun intended!) a squat as I can against my bouyancy has helped.

Thanks for the pat on the back re: WODs. I'm looking forward to a puppy Diane. Stay tuned!

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
