I am calling it a day early.....I know I know.....I look for these days and consider them Gold when I get them. But, for awhile now I have been thinking about having a long rest period. I feel this is the perfect time to start. I ended my training early and will be taking off the majority of the next few days to recover and come back. I started today after the 5:30AM class:
5 Rds
15 Thrusters
15 Bar-facing burpees
My time
9:59
My hamstrings were tight right from the get go and I felt very drained. I know I can go much faster but my intensity was down due to my body being fatigued. It is good to hit a wall like this but when you do....be smart and back off. My issue was I wanted to continue to get some work in before throwing in the towel:
Overhead Squat 10 Rep Max
135 x 10
145 x 10
155 x 10
165 x 10
175 x 10
185 x 10
195 x 10
205 x 10
I could have gone heavier but thought this was good. I was training Tara this morning and she walked in, so that is my other excuse for stopping. 205 felt very easy and I felt as though I was getting stronger as the weight got heavier. In between the first 3 sets I did 20 push down with a Green band to get some accessory work in between sets...the next 3 sets I did 10 strict pull ups. I liked this and may start throwing in mare accessory work.
About an hour after this I did:
10 Rope Climbs for time:
My time
2:32-2:40
The buzzer said 2:27 when I finished but I was told to go and realized the timer did no0t actually start until I was on my way down from the first rep making for the unknown time.
I left the box and then did some Deadlifting at home:
Work up to heavy 5 Rep
225 x 5
275 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5
335 x 5
365 x 5
385 x 5
405 x 5
Then:
Max reps 275 Deadlift
My score
31
My back was shot so I tried to break it up into small quick sets but that did not work. I like this cash out. This is the second time doing it and I like it best for deadlifting because this is my weakest lift. I will continue working on it and get better.
