Hate the Game, Not the Player

WOD

Tabata
squat - 23 all sets
push-up - 14 all sets
sit-ups - 14 all sets
dips - 6 all sets
row - 6 calories all sets
Score : 63

Notes: I have done so MANY tabata intervals. I know the game, but still over played this one. I could have gotten 1 more rep in everything. First time for rowing Tabata, next time 8. Sub dips for pull-ups because I am seriously training for a climbing project.

Another Day


BS triples
185, 225, 275, 295, 305


fast & light at 295

then

7 HSPU
7 KTE
7 burpees
5 rounds : 9:30

Last rep of last set : Quality always matters

Notes: Short on time, wrong shoes, and sun in my eyes. "Could have" lifted more. Some guy asked me how much I had on the bar like it was a lot (which it isn't). I am coming back nicely, compare to "Back to the Grind." Singles on HSPU were faster than resting for doubles/triples. Everything else was cruisy.

Back in the Game

WOD
DL triples from a box
315, 315, 315, 315, 345

then
100 dips for time

Notes: Compared to the miserable showing on Monday, today was great. My back could be set straighter. The first 50 dips took 2:00 minutes.

Short and Sweet

Warm-up

KB Complex
with 1.5 pood

Back to the Grind

Back to the weights. They are heavy. I am weak.

WOD

Back Squat
275 X1
315 fail
295 X1

Shoulder Press
135 X 1
145 X 1
155 fail

Notes: In the past, my sticking point in the press was the start. I realized I had to be "tighter." Now my sticking point is the crown of my head, the solution.
