3 rds
500 m row
10 air squats to 20" box
30 second x 10kg plate hold overhead
  1. Row
    • Not as tidy as last time.
  2. Squat
    • Yuck.
    • Very sorry Jeff, I'll work on them, again, still
  3. Plate hold
    • Poor spot to do them for videoing, sorry.
    • Shoulder position was a bit better though, honestly.
Overall
  • Needed to do something and that's about all I achieved.

Strength/skill - Presses and ring rows

EMOM11
Even minutes; 5x ring rows
Odd minutes; 3 x 20kg press

Strength/skill - Hanging leg raises

EMOM 10
Leg raises



EMOM 10
1 x hanging leg raise

Doing these as singles was interesting. In a larger set you can throw away the first resp and arrive in a better position for the next. This way I found odd things like one keg higher than the other.
Had to make an effort to brace my midsection before each one to keep things even, which has a benefit in it's own right.

Burpees, Step-ups

WOD
For 20 minutes
On the odd minutes do 6-10 box step ups
On the even number do 5 burpees.


For 20 minutes
On the even number do 5 burpees.
On the odd minutes do 10 12" step ups

  1. Burpees
    • Reasonably happy with the later sets.
    • I do some weird thing where I drop my right side down first in the push-up portion. Interesting.
  2. Step-ups
    • Only a little step and my hips were still uneven. Frustrating.
Overall
  • Done in the laundry because we have this thing going on right now that you might not be familiar with, it's called "rain". It happens a lot here.
  • Stole one of Lynette's WODs because I needed an extra to put off that EMOM leg raise thing.
    The ab-based WOD the other day is still making that one impossible to contemplate. Should have done the EMOM first.
  • Lost track of the video editing and deleted a round some place, sorry.
  • Had me sweating  more than I expected. Should have worn my headband and screw the fashion police.

Row, Leg raise, Sit-ups, Plank, Row

WOD
500 M row or 400 M shamble
3 rounds
10 Hanging leg raises
10 sit ups
30 seconds accumulated in a plank
500 M row or 400 M shamble

500 M row
3 rounds
10 Hanging leg raises
10 abmat frog sit ups
30 seconds plank
500 M row
  1. Rows
    • Not good, not bad.
    • The first row was a lot easier than the second.
    • I had to row, my achilles are very bad right now and I'm working up to being able to walk correctly. Today was much better than they have been for a while. Rocktape really does work.
  2. Hanging leg raises
    • They got sloppy fast.
    • And my grip failed.
  3. Sit-ups
    • Kid of hit the wall on those after round one.
    • Abs were almost cramping, which is new.
  4. Plank
    • Ok.
    • There were full length mirrors on the wardrobe door of a hotel we stayed in  recently and I played with push-up hand position.
      I'd had my hands way too far forward and they still are a bit in this.
    • Overall much more comfortable on the shoulders, but still work to do.
Overall
  • Bloody security light.
    It was installed last week and I need to tweak the settings.
  • Traumatised by the scathing criticism of my sweatpants I didn't video the rows.
    Also didn't wear the headband. May need to get some sunglasses to hold keep my hair out of my eyes.

Row, Squat

WOD
3 rds

Box or chair should be at height to which you can maintain perfect mechanics.  If that means you barely bend your knees, fine.

  1. Row
    • "Kill". Hah!
    • Not my best work.
    • I couldn't get my shoulders back the way I'd like and my arms aare bending too early.
    • Managed to hold under 2min/500m thank goodness, so that's something.
  2. Squats
    • Sat down too hard, sorry.
    • Rather unhappy with those.
Overall
  • Fairly average.
