I think this one was called 45 caliber...violent ;)
We warmed up...
Workout as RX'd (prescribed)
45 double unders
45 dumbbell thrusters
45 pull ups
45 double unders
2 rounds
That is pretty much what we did. Obviously, I did 180 singles instead of the double unders...I can do a (emphasis on the "a") double under...but it would take me FOREVER to do 45 of them I think...maybe next time I'll try it, we'll see. For now, doing the 180 singles is really just as strenuous and easier at the same time. The dumbbell thrusters, I used 12lb dumbbells the first round but went down to 10lb each the next. Doing that many in a row is just not very easy. Pull ups I'm still using the blue band. I am trying to use the purple band in warmups (really, it does nothing as my feet are about 2 inches off the ground when I do...maybe 5 lb resistance??) but there is no way I can use it in the workouts yet.
It was for time, but I forgot what my time was. Maybe 28 minutes?? I don't know...I'll have to get that next time...he wrote it down though.
Then we practiced L-sits. You take a set of parallel bars, hold yourself up with arms straight and stick your legs out in front of you, like an L. Yeah, I haven't gotten there yet...I tuck my legs under me and that is as far as I can go. We were trying to hold it for 10 seconds...longest 10 seconds of my life!
Then we practiced "graduated" handstands...he is trying to kill us, I swear! First we would put our hands down and try to swing our legs up at least a little bit...then he put an angled mat against the wall and had us go at it. I can 'almost' get my feet all the way up without assistance...probably just fear that keeps me from doing it completely. So Justin would help swing my legs up and then just stand there with his arm across my shins for moral support more than anything. We had to hold that for 10 seconds, twice. Oh the blood that rushed to my head...oh my. It was kinda fun though to leave knowing that I kinda sorta did a handstand :)
