Gorgeous..

...outside. COuldn't do Firepower inside on a day like this. Went to the park to practice my 2HA- they suck. I'm using teh 24KG for the BP on top and the 20KG for the curl at the bottom. I cant get it w/ the 24on my left and the 20 in my right so I downsized to practice form using the 20KG on top on my left and the 16KG on bottom on my right. The good news is I am dropping my ass A LOT lower, rock bottom squat. That I am excited about. After 3-4 of those on either side I did 3 rounds of
w/ the 24KG
5 R/L RR
5 R/L alt chest presses
5 R/L fig82H
60 yards walking lunges.

1 min rest, repeat.

AFter that I did 60 yards over head rack walk with the 36KG on my left side (need to firm up that L shoulder), 60 yards rack walk with the 20KGs and finally 60 yards farmer's carries w/ the 24KGs.

After that I am smoked.

worst work out ever?

friday afternoon i did 3 sets of swings, snatches, russian twists and windmills. used the 20 for the snatches, everything else was with the 24KG. practiced my 2 hands anyhow. got WAY lower this time but couldnt curl the bell on my right side for some reason.

when i was thinking about it, i thought this work out sucked bad (b/c a friend was with me and i was talking the whole time and there was a lot of break time) but when i writ it out, minus the breaks, it was ok. i didnt feel like doing anything anyway so i'll take the fact that i did anything at all as a bonus.

11 min of hell

Last weke when I did my 11 min of C&P, I told Jenn about it and she said it it takes her x amount of time to do y reps doing double C&P with the 16KG bells.

I took it upon myself to see what I could do doing doubles w/ the 20KGs. Let me tell you, 11 min of doubles MUCH harder than 11 min of singles (duh). I got 39.5 reps in 11 min. I REALLY wanted 45 and realized I would have to settle with 40 but that 40th rep wasn't happening. I stopped on it twice. If I could have taken 20 more seconds I could have gotten it in but the clock shows no mercy.

The Mighty Flurpie

Yesterday Jonathan and I did 5 sets of 3 and a final set of 5. We mixed it up a bit alternating our burpies in between flips with the 'super burpee' from AoS Firepower (which is a squat thrust up to a sumo dead lift where at the top you catch the bottom of the bell in both hands and do a full rock bottom squat) Our warm up round of flurpies I caight on video. The 6th set where we did 5 instead of 3 was the real deal. My legs were on fire.

Getting it done

Last nite I did my back-in-the-swing-of-things workout- swings. At the moment I can do about 200 without loosing form. After 200 things get wonky and quickly turn to shit. I'm not beating myself up about that. I'm doing something about it instead.

I did 200 swings on the porch. Took about 15 min. My forearms, and legs were smoked by the end. The only thing not giving out on the swings are my hips and my core. Everything else turns to jelly right around 200.

Today is tire-fun day with Jonathan. We're thinking flurpies, in which case I will get a video a video of it and get it up here.

Saturday

I finally did AoS Firepower for the first time in forever. It kicked my ass but for hte first time I tried the short rest version and they aren't kidding- its basically no rest. BUt I made it all the way through only really needing a break during hte alternating clean (i hate that excercise) and the see-saw press which I am usually pretty good with.

I will do some swings today at some point, just not sure when yet.
