Thursday, June 17

My first two-days in a row workout!

Did our warmup (push ups still bothering my right obliques some...not sure why...better when I do pushups off my knees instead of feet though).

Our "technique" for the day was back squats. You put a barbell on your back and squat! Easy, right? It wasn't bad actually. We (the girl I was working out with and myself) got up to 80 lbs and decided that would be our limit for the day. We had to do 5 rounds of 5 reps. I'm feeling some possible bruising a bit above my shoulder blades where I was holding the bar...to be expected of course.

Our workout was a modified Crossfit Baseline.

3 rounds for time

500m row
40 squats
30 sit ups
20 push ups
10 pull ups

I dislike rowing...it is the LONGEST 2.5 minutes of my life! I feel like I've rowed an entire lake and I look and I'm only at 200m or so...ugghhh! Then the squats...whoo...those were "easy" per se, but I am feeling those and the back squats big time in my glutes!

My time ended up being 26 minutes and 18 seconds. I definitely wasn't speeding through anything, but I felt like I paced myself well and did it mostly without stopping much...so I'm proud of that.
