What a day!

Another day on the farm in the eagle's nest

7/15/2010

Foam/baseball roll
Static stretch

Dead lifts - all technique here, testing out my back here is all
135 x 5, 5
185 x 5, 5
205 x 5 - called it here, back is feeling good, no need to push it, next week I'll be 100%

Barbell Overhead walking lunge
95 x 6/leg
135 x 6/leg
165 x 6/leg
185 x 6 on left leg, 5 on right leg - super tough, almost dropped the weight a couple times, really sloppy. Actually really surprised I was able to jump to this weight today. I think my overhead stability is improving, go figure.

WOD:
Ring Handstand Pushup / 50' Rope Whip Smash / kipping pullup / double unders
5 / 20 / 4 / 100
4 / 40 / 8 / 80
3 / 60 / 12 / 60
2 / 80 / 16 / 40
1 / 100 / 20 / 20

13:35 - Halfway through this workout I noticed a wasp nest where I was doing pullups so the rest of the workout whenever I had to do the pull ups I had to run 400' back and forth to the next closest thing to do pull ups on. Slowed me down quite a bit. Actually this workout wasn't too tough at all. I expected much worse. Really surprised with my conditioning lately.
