“GOAL for TOMORROW:
After 4-straight days, my goal is to stay away from the gym tomorrow. A round of golf would be nice!”
F*ck it. That is what I thought at some point last night after beer #3, or early this morning, and then I decided to do the WOD. After 30′ of barefoot running, including 5′ of 15″ fast / 15″ easy, I did the following:
AMRAP in 15′ of:
- 5 Thrusters
- 7 HPC
- 10 SDHP
All using 45#.
After doing Cindy in Bozeman last week with JEaster, I was really torn up. My hips and elbows had taken a severe beating, so I approached today’s workout with a bit of apprehension. Relative to myself, I am stronger mentally than I am physically. And what I learned last week was that I am improving strength at a rate that is faster than I am building connective tissue. So, I have to be careful with these types of timed workouts.
“Thruster” = combination: front-squat to shoulder-press.
“SDHP” = wide-stance deadlift with narrow grip, finishing with high pull to top of chest.
8 rounds in 14:14.
Not great, not bad. My technique on the HPC’s needs work, and the weight today was light enough to keep form in mind throughout the workout. By the end, I was the sweatiest I’ve been in a long time. Sweet.
