I went back to the gym this morning even though I'm still not over this virus. I took a whole week off already, so at this point I think working out is going to help me get better and get this shit cleared out of my system.
We did a multi-part workout.
First:
Weighted pullups: 5-3-2-1-1-1My sets went down like this:
- 5: deadhang
- 3: 5# dumbbell
- 2: 8# dumbbell
- 1: 10# dumbbell
- 1: 10# dumbbell
- 1: 10# dumbbell
Next we did two metcons. I tried to keep moving during these, but honestly I didn't push myself too hard. I just wanted to work and sweat, not kill myself. I'll get back to that in another week or so when all the chest congestion is gone.
AMRAP in 8 min1st AMRAP -- 2 rounds + 6 K2E's
5 hspu
15 knees to elbows
rest 2 min
AMRAP in 5 min
10 sumo deadlift high pulls (75lbs/55)
15 double unders
2nd AMRAP -- 3 rounds + 5 SDHP's
Double unders were hard because my heart was racing so much. And I totally sucked at K2E's today -- I have good and bad days with those. Honestly, I think I'm better at toes to bar than those, because I practically have to get my feet the height of the bar to touch my knees to my elbows. Time to experiment with form on those, perhaps. For HSPU I used 2 AbMats, and got the input that maybe it's time to drop to 1. I think I agree with that.
Gotta run time to shower for work. Happy Monday, get in the gym!
Wow! Awesome day at the gym for you! Nice job! You work harder when you're sick than most people do on their best days :)
ReplyDeleteDo you put just hold a dumbbell with your feet on the weighted pull ups? I can't believe you can do 10 lbs! I tried 5# once but couldn't get it. I'm going to start working on my dead hang pull-ups here though so the weights will come in time.
Keep up the good work!
That's really great cheri. You've come so far. I can't wait till I feel together enough to start crossfit again. When they tell you not to lift something after giving birth, listen. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteK2E's are a slow movement for me, like box jumps. I always get a mental block on them. I actually enjoyed them while pregnant, though they were MUCH harder. I had to figure out how to get my belly through my knees. Made for a lot of staring.
Are you getting excited about Fight Gone Bad this year? Because I totally am. Perhaps you could come up here and be the other female with a bunch of dudes in the competition?
You rock! I am always amazed at you.
ReplyDeleteI had to use a plate last time I did weighted pull-ups. Daniel stuck it between my legs and away I went :) A weight belt would be nice! Someday... there are other things on the list before that!
