My back is definitely feeling the Deadlifts from yesterday's workout!! The good news is that it's not the same kind of pain that I was feeling when my back was out of alignment. It's more like the "good sore" that I would feel after an intense training session with D/L's.
Anyway, despite my soreness I was determined to get into the gym and attack today's workouts. I never like to follow a bad training day with a REST day, lol!
A. Max Cal Airdyne for 10:00
- Total Cals: 230. Given that this was my first shot at this, I feel OK with the result. The strategy of :30 at a hard pace and :30 at a slight backoff pace served me well. Next time, I will try to sustain a harder pace on the back-off intervals. The positive thing is that I felt like I had a little left in the tank.....not a ton but a little!
B. AMRAP 12:00 of the following...
- 12 Shoulder to overhead @ 115#
- 8 Toes to Bar
- 4 burpees
- Talk about a workout that does not favor my strengths!!...wow! The push-presses concerned me the most. I know that I have a hard time with that many reps at this weight. If I had been Masters eligible last year, the 18:00 WOD with the push-presses probably would have cost me a shot at the Games.
- I deliberately broke up the push-presses and TTB's right from the start and made it possible to sustain a moderate but steady pace.
- Final score was 7 rounds plus 4 reps. I am pretty pleased with this result. Not world class or anything but good for me considering that these are not real strong movements for me.
