Sort of like Nicole's WOD

Oh, yeah there were other people doing it too, but like I was watching them?

5RNFT
5 x 80kg deadlift
10 x 15kg thrusters

Don't think front squats, or thrusters, will ever feel like a natural movement.

Stuff

3RNFT
10 x 30kg bench press
10 potato sack squats
10 x 15kg hang muscle snatch

Bench and sandbag were too heavy, although the bench shouldn't be. Too hard to maintain the right groove on both and I wanted a burnier workout than that.
Lighter, or stronger and it's a good AMRAP.

Squats and dips

4RNFT
15 back squats - 20kg, 22.5kg, 25kg x 2
11 parallete dips to reverse plank, or whatever that's called

Tried ring dips, shoulders internal rotated immediately, so not there yet. Sod it.

Needs salt

4RNFT
15 x 22.5kg bench press
15 step-ups  - 20" box - each leg

Just wasn't enough oomph in that, I needed to throw something heavier in there.
Should be enough to help me sleep I hope.

Tentative

AMRAP until I felt like stopping.
4 rounds

15 x 20kg back squat
15 x 15 kg hang muscle-snatch

The 3rd round of snatches was really in the groove. I don't know why and couldn't quite recapture it.

Thought I was getting sick

Snuffly all day and all my team at the office have been off with a nasty cold/'flu.
Didn't train.

Maybe not so stupid after all

3RNFT
15 sandbag deadlifts/potato sack squats
15 partial dips on parallettes

Pulled the pin at 3 rounds as the whole exercise seemed pretty stupid. This morning, I apparently did some work.
My hips must be getting tight from the feel of the potato sack squats, couldn't get everything lined up. If I work on that they might feel more sensible.
Dips on the rings would be better if I kept it as a kick-back movement and stayed away from loading the front of the shoulder.
A rematch soon.

Slow Cooker Ribs

A bunch of pork spare ribs
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce
HP sauce - some
Worcester sauce - less than HP
Hot sauce - a good few splashes

  1. Pour the sauce over the ribs in the slow cooker.
  2. Cook on High for a while, about 3-4 hours.
  3. Let cool a bit, about an hour.
  4. Finish in the oven.
    Don't baste with the sauce, the flavour was just right as it was.

Happy with that

AMRAP 12ish
15 x 20kg bench press
15 x 20kg T-handle swings

Managed to keep my shoulders pinned back quite well on the benches and hamstrings engaged quite well on the swings.

Played with 2x20kg farmers walks after.

That was harder than I expected

5RNFT, but I think I lost count
15 goblet squats - home made med ball
10 planks on hand to planks on elbows and back
