12:00pm – CrossFit, All Levels
My schedule is all crazy this week because of preparing for the Sectionals this weekend. Consequently I’m going to different classes than I normally do. The nice part is, I got to work out with a crew of people I don’t normally experience!
TABATA Mash-up:
Push Press (65#)
Ab-Mat Sit Ups (feet anchored)
Sumo-Deadlift High Pull (65#)
One round of this workout would be 20 seconds of push press, 10 seconds rest, 20 seconds sit ups, 10 seconds rest, 20 seconds SDLHP, 10 seconds rest.
You will do a total of 8 rounds. This is a 12 minute workout in total.
Your score is your grand total of all your reps.
Round 1: 30
Round 2: 30
Round 3: 27
Round 4: 25
Round 5: 27
Round 6: 27
Round 7: 26
Round 8: 28
Grand total: 220
To make it easy on myself I just counted up every round and didn’t make note of the reps of each exercise. I can say in general though I got between 5-8 push presses and then wound up between 19-21 by the end of situps and then scored from 25-30 total after the SDLHP.
I didn’t do the GHD sit ups that were prescribed because I was pretty sure after all the ones we did Saturday and then doing the Murph yesterday (that much kipping and push ups make my abs hurt!) that I’d give myself a hernia if I did GHD’s today.
Someday I’ll retell the story of the time I thought I had appendicitis…only it turned out just to be the glute-ham machine.
7:00pm – Fencing Lesson
Learned a bunch of new stuff tonight. We worked on a few different counter-attacks, which I really enjoy. I was more of a counter puncher in kickboxing, too. For some reason my brain just works that way.
The way the lessons are structured, we work on skills and drilling for about 15 minutes and then we fence a few points for real for the last 5 minutes of the lesson. Yes, they are 20 minute lessons and yes, your head would explode if you tried to do it for longer.
Today, I made a REALLY conscious effort to try to remember everything we drilled (it’s always a LOT of stuff) and apply it when we fenced for points. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t, but I felt good about remembering a technique and attempting an application.
