WOD

10 Rounds for Time:

5 pull ups

10 show hands push ups

15 sit ups

20 air squats

Time: 21:14.25

After a long day of watching football, I decided to go to the basement and try to get my heart rate up.  I definitely succeeded in doing that.  I really felt good about both the sit ups and my air squats, as I am really trying to get more range of motion on my squats.  My pull ups are the movement that is by far the hardest for me and most time consuming.  The last two rounds were one pull up at a time.  After I finished my last squat I was on my back for about ten minutes.

Back upstairs to finish the night with some Sunday Night Football.

WOD

Run 2 miles

15 minute AMRAP:
10 Power Cleans, 135 lbs.
15 Toes to Bar
20 Box Jumps, 18 in.

Rounds: 3 + 8 reps

I wasn't feeling 100% this morning when I got out of bed and definitely didn't feel like going to the gym.  I finally made it there and got on the treadmill.  After running two miles I did an AMRAP that was difficult.  The power cleans were very heavy for me and was the movement of this AMRAP that I struggled with the most.  My toes to bar turned into knees to elbows after the first round.  Overall this was a pretty pathetic performance on a tough workout.

WOD

For Time:

150 Burpees

Time: 13:37

After a weekend of doing nothing productive, I had to go to the basement tonight and do something.  I tried to get 150 burpees under twelve minutes but had a terrible workout.  I tried to do this right after eating dinner and that wasn't a good idea.  I felt terrible and numbers 100 through 125 were slow, one knee at a time, and took me forever.  My last time doing 150 burpees was 14:07 so I am disappointed with this time.  Back at hard this coming week after this past weekend.
