Not a rest day for me, I’m behind one for a 3/1.
Ive missed quite a few workouts, damnit…
Ryan - no rings
Front Squat - could do at gym
Death By Pullups - could do at home
Linda - Grand, so heavy.
4x 800m run - I think its going to be 90 degrees tomorrow, perfect.
Tabata Something Else - Great! I should do this
Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5
Fight Gone Bad - No way the gym lets me throw the med balls
So from a training standpoint - they’re all awesome workouts, but suppose I was going to do one tommorow…..
(Or should I just cut my losses, take the rest day, sync up with the main site, and never cry over what I’ve missed and never miss again?)
I apologize for my free-form stream of consciousness forum-posting typing diarrhea.
Did my 1st crossfit WOD yesterday, it was Monday’s double-unders & sit-ups. Don’t have a rope though, so instead of DUs I did 50 % tuck jumps and 50 % “full reach jumps”, where I touched the roof with the palms of my hands (the room was a nice height for this obviously).
Jump for 2 minutes 70
Sit-up for 2 minutes 60
Jump for 90 seconds 43
Sit-up for 90 seconds 43
Jump for 1-minute 33
Sit-up for 1-minute 28
Jump for 30 seconds 19
Sit-up for 30 seconds 16
Total jumps 165, total sit-ups 147, total total 312
Wow, a 10-minute workout and I am totally exhausted? And to me this seemed like a pretty easy WOD, not to mention that sit-ups are probably my best move. Crossfit is madd.
Three rounds for time of:
5 Seated or Squat Muscle-ups
12 Burpees
There are no rings at my gym, so I subbed 5 dips and 5 pull-ups for the muscle ups.
I forgot to turn off the timer or even look at it for a few minutes after I was done (too excited to be done with burpees, I suppose). I probably did something around 6 minutes.
I still can’t get the picture of my CF Bday Cake re-sized so I can posted….
I laugh so hard when I saw the Cake!
I will figure that tomorrow after my AM run and my ealy afternoon swim
Do you guys recommend total rest when it’s a rest day or active rest… swimming, biking, running…etc.?
I have trouble doing “nothing…” ha ha ha ha
Well if you compete or do alot of other sports like running, swimming, basketball etc. then go ahead and take part in them. You could use today as a skill day as well to work a gymnastic skill. Maybe doing a light warm-up and 3 sets of 5 progressive mu, or L sit holds/ tucks. If you wanted to start a new sport, today would be a good day to take a look into it. If you need rest then by all means rest. Keep today simple and have fun.
My tire is 57cm tall and 114cm in diameter. I have no idea how much it weighs, but it is heavy. Any guesses at that size? Any ideas about how much work I did? Arms and hands in pain. Sweet.
On Wednesday, August 19th did:
Push Press x1(kg): 70, 75(f), 75(f), 72.5(f), 72.5PR, 75(f), 75(f);
Actually, I had never done 70kg before, just thought I could, then did. It wasn’t until after that I checked my notes…
I wanted the 75 badly; so, frustrated, did: 30kg push press x30 for time: 1:40
