You Don’t Know How It Feels
July 3, 2008
At last, a proper (scaled) WOD.
“Lynne” in the puppy variant.
do 5 rounds of
max push ups
max pull ups or beginner pull ups
i.e. body rows
So my rounds went like this:
17/14
10/13
5/9
0(14)/8 - Jelly arms, dropped pushups to knees.
0(10)/7 - Repeat.
Slightly disappointing, but more or less as expected. Had hoped for higher body row numbers though. At least I have a baseline here, I’m already looking forward to the next “Lynne”.
Tomorrow is rest day, but I’ve had too many of those lately, so I will be doing a workout, probably something involving squats or lunges. Tomorrow is also the start of my summer holiday: Four weeks off work. Should be possible to put some decent work in.

Lars, I thought on push ups…
To build push up strength, keep your body straight and in the plank. Go the whole way down in the plank. Then drop to your knees and push up. Then reset the plank and do it again. When you do the whole push from your knees, the range of motion is different. Try that and see if it helps you to build up your push up strength.

Sporticus has some good press up routines!
I find press ups ok until I get to the 70’s. Then i want to barf.
Nice I know..

Yeah, I know. I could do 50 straight at one time. They’ll be back
