Abandoned Workout

Well I was the only one to show up for a workout out today.  I think I must have said something of not used enough deodorant.  Since I was the only one and Kung Fu/Tai chi testing is nearing I did  less of a workout an more practice but that being said here was the WoD:

  • 40 - 20 - 10 of  Squats with 40lbs weight vest, Push-up w/ Device of Pain and Sit up with 12lbs Mediball.

Grueling AMRAP

Warm up with jumprope and two, one-minute freestyle bag rounds.

I added an extra minute to today's AMRAP and it was a different set o' exercises.  We were all spent after this one (it was also 101 degrees Fahrenheit).

  • Blasters D: 55-L:41-P:70
  • Pushpress 24-18-33
  • Turkish get-up 16-32-14
  • Squats w/weights 36-77-66
  • Pushups 42-53-57
  • V-ups w/medicine ball 42-62-85

Phil was our "winner today" with  325, Lucas' total was 285, and David had 215. I do think I'll be sore after this one...

Fabulous Four WOD

What a great workout today.  We started with 5 min of jumprope and then went on to do some bag/mitt work.  We each got about three, 1-minute rounds in until John jammed his toe (sorry!). 

Next up tabatas:  :22/:11 x 8 of
  • squats (four with the death vest)
  • bicycles
  • arm 1
  • v-ups with medicine ball
  • Turkish getup
  • burpees
  • flutters
I did push it a bit harder to try to "step it up" and feel the difference.  Definitely a little more intense than the usual workout.  I like the Turkish thing but it is hard.

Turkish Getup

After reading Brian's G blog he mentioned something called a Turkish Getup. Since I had no idea what that hell that was i had to look it up.  I found this describing it:


Oh yea... that is so going on the next WoD.

Hot as Hell AMRAP

It's just dang hot this summer.  We owe ourselves a big pat on the back for hanging with it, especially at the stepped-up levels we've attained.  I, for one, am ready to step these up to 25 or 30 minutes.  I don't get the exhaustion and soreness that I used to. 
Started with the obligatory 5 min. of jumprope and then 20 min. AMRAP of

Push-ups D: 51, L: 38, P: 40
Frog leaps 47-32-46
Rollouts: 59-61-82
Parallelets: 26-18-26
Med ball slam 56-90-69
V-ups w/6# med ball: 41-67-40

totals:  David: 280, Lucas: 306, Phil: 303 (go Phil!)

Warm down with some pa qua and spear work.
