Monday

Monday's suck. So hard to get going on a Monday. So tired. Good weekend in terms of fun, didn't get in the second WOD on Saturday but that's just more to the fact I flat out couldn't get a ride to the gym. But the WOD Friday night was brutal on the legs, they're still in a good amount of pain today.. Here's how it went, we started off with about 15 minutes of squats - 5 sets of 5 reps as heavy as we could work up to. For not having done a squat in over a month I wasn't feeling real strong but I still had some good strength in my legs to get some weight up there..

95x5
115x5
145x5
165x5
215x5

The 215 felt like 315, scary I used to do 315 back in the day.

We went into the conditioning part of the WOD which was a mix of jump rope and wallballs and the wallballs were NO JOKE.

3 rounds for time:

100 single jump rope
25 wallballs, 2-fer-1's

Result: 11:28

I flew through the first round, but the wallballs were impossible to keep going through and I had to take some breaks in between. My conditioning sucks so I was sucking wind pretty quick and that made it much tougher. A/C was broken in the gym so it was pretty tough to breathe in the first place so that didn't help. My legs are still hurtin' right now.

Tonight we have a softball game so I won't be able to make it to the gym but hopefully there's nothing scheduled tomorrow so I can get in a WOD.

Active first week

I haven't gotten back to the gym since Monday, and that's alright.. I've had a lot going on after work this week but I've managed to stay active. Had two softball games Monday night after the WOD, could barely walk Tuesday but managed to get through two more games. As soft as co-ed kickball sounds (like softball sounded tough or something), I was able to move around the field well enough to crack a small sweat on Wednesday night and took a much needed night of rest where I completely shut it down last night. I'll be hitting a WOD tonight that looks pretty rough on the legs but I don't give a shit, sorry bout it legs. I'm also going to immediately lock in for a WOD tomorrow morning. Weekends have been the issue over the summer so far for me and it's where I've found it okay to cheat myself on making progress. That predictably snowballs into the middle of the week, and if something comes up and I don't make it then I'm all of a sudden a week removed from doing anything.. Need to constantly strive for progress, and like I said this is the "no fucking around" time, there's no room for error here. It's a straight line of progress until August 30th. All I need to do is crush a couple WOD's prior to relaxing and earn my weekend. Before my body can even know what hit it from tonight's WOD I'll be finishing up the workout on Saturday morning. It'll be nice to get two really big workouts in this weekend and set me up for the next 4 weeks. Let's fucking go.

Preview of tonight's WOD:

5x5 back squats

3RFT:

50 double unders
25 wallballs "2-fer-1's"
