AMRAP Thursday!

My turn so it was back to that great and grueling AMRAP workout from the beginning of the month.  One substitution--assisted pull-ups for push-ups.
  1. Wheel of Torture--D: 18-18-16 (52)  L: 29-14-11 (54)
  2. 40# push-pull--13-12-10 (35)  / 16-16-12  (47)
  3. Jumping lunges--60-34-35 (129) / 27-32-36 (95)
  4. Assisted pull-ups--12-8-8 (28) / 12-12-13-5 (42)
  5. Frog leaps--20-12-8 (40) / 9-11-12 (32)
  6. Dips--33-22-16 (71) / 27-16-15 (58)
Totals:  David 355, Lucas 326.  I'd call that even.  David counted lunges differently but I think I went deeper so I think we can call it a wash.  Definitely need to standardize that kind of stuff. 

Warm down with Tai Chi 64 & 24 and perhaps other stuff for David and Phil after I bailed.

David's Bonus Warm up: 5mins of Jump Rope and 75 Push-ups

    We should change out the jumping lunges for something else that's easy to standardize on like burpies... Whooa! NM... Jumping lunges it is...

    Also for the record I call it about even too.

    Burpees--I like that. I think I prefer exercises that make me burn out quickly to those that I can do 25+ repetitions (aside from wheel rollouts). Let's try burpees in our next AMRAP and see how many we can do; I really don't know how many I'll be able to get.

    Also, jumping lunges and frog leaps are two plyometric exercises (explosive movement). I think one is plenty and burpess are a nice, full-body exercise.

    The pull-ups were definitely a nice addition. I'm sore today!

    Next AMRAP, when we choose to do it:
    rollouts
    pull-ups
    frog leaps
    med. ball toe touch
    burpees
    dips
    push-pulls

    That's one more exercise but I think we'll be doing lower reps per exercise.
