I Won’t Back Down
June 30, 2008
According to my plan I was supposed to go up against Fight Gone Bad yesterday. Yeah right. I don’t have the necessary equipment, nor could I be bothered to come up with suitable replacement excercises on the spot. This one requires a bit of planning ahead. So I ended up with about twenty minutes on the rower, doing ad-hoc intervals and feeling like shit. I won’t post any numbers because I don’t really trust my rower computer.
Next FGB
Now, for the next FGB(full version here, I will scale):
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20″ box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)
- I need a 20# or similar ball. Could make one, but would prefer to buy. Locally, 10Kg balls cost upwards of $250, that’s a bit steep. Foun a 5Kg one at $75, a lot better.
- Can do SDHP with dumbbells, 16kg on each bar would do it.
- Box jump, no problem.
- Push-press with DB’s ok.
- Rower I have, but as mentioned I don’t really trust its computer. I did a 2K row earlier that would have put me in the top20 on c2.com. I don’t think so. Another issue is the placement. The rower is inside, where there is no room for wall-balls and not really for push-preses either. This requires thinking.
For today the plan calls for a rest day. I think I’ll call yesterday the rest day and rather put in some real work tonight. Might pick an earlier Wod, any suggestions?
Tomorrow
3 rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
1.5 pood Kettlebell swing, 21 reps
95 pound Thruster, 21 reps
21 Pull-ups
Subbing as usual DBs for both kettelbells and barbell, then scaling heavily, this one is doable.
