Keep on keepin’ on
July 23, 2008
Never mind the headache.
Picked the wod I was planning to do two days ago:
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
15 Push-ups
12 Ring dips
115 pound Push-press, 9 reps
Scaling and adapting to the local environment:
15 Push-ups
12 Bench dips
9 reps of 7kg DB OHS
Finishing with a lousy 3 rounds + 15 push-ups. My (lack of) arm strength really lets me down on these things. I had enough juice to keep going, but the arms refused to tag along. The last set of push-ups were more or less 15 sets of one.
Heading out for a bike ride to blow off som extra juice.
Happy Independence Day…

… to the people of Malawi!
Planned wod for today was too lift-heavy for me so I traded it in for 080612-ish
Same warmup as yesterday, except dropping the dips and body rows for lifting practice. OHS, deadlifts, front and back squats, mic presses.
3 rounds for time
8 x alternating one-leg squats – assisted box squats
10 x dips – bench
12 x pull-up progressions – 1st round jumping PU, 2nd and 3rd body rows
total time 9:30
Squats s*ck. Dips were ok, and jumping PUs absolutely killed me. Tomorrow is pull-up day…
Finally I want to thank you all for scaring me into working out today. I was completely ready to just chill with a glass of wine and enjoy my vacation, until I thought of the verbal thrashing I’d get from you lot. I owe you.
