Enjoying a juicy grassfed ribeye with my honey
Went to bed early, but 5:00 still came too soon. It didn’t help that the baby decided he was hungry at 1am and my lovely bride was dead to the world. No worries, still had time to get all my stuff together, do a pre workout weigh-in and get to the box ontime. Also, here is a pic from my meal last night:
Warm up: 500m row and lots and lots of stretching
WOD: “Nate” – AMRAP in 20:00
2 Muscle Up Progressions
4 Hand Stand Push Ups
8 Kettlebell swings (24K)
10 Rounds
Want Mohr:
40 Sprints
Thoughts:
Muscle Up Progressions - these were difficult, but since they were only two, it was easy to pound through them every round. I need to raise the rings next time.
HSPU – Since we had the rings out for the MUP – we had to do these on the wall, so instead of a push up, it was a controlled lower. The hardest thing was having to kick back up every time!
KB Swings - I used 24K for the first time today, and OMG is that heavy, after my second set, I wanted to scale lower, but pushed through it and am happy I did.
++Really challenged myself on the KB swings. Getting faster on my sprints – can feel my hip movement as I run, not sure how I should handle that, should I work to move them more or less, I’m guessing more, but if you have an idea, weigh in!
—Keep practicing those handstands!
CrossForter of the day:
Barbie – she was a madwoman today, it was like a blur trying to watch her, she really pushed herself on this. She realized that she was using a lighter kettlebell than she should have, but she definitely made up the difference in picking up her pace! Great work babs!
Weight: 200.8 (Pre-Workout) – not bad, NEED TO KEEP EATING GOOD!! Next weigh in will be Thurs night after CFF. Hope to be around 197
