-16 ... total of 44 reps ... probably could have snuck a few more in on that second set, but I gassed out pretty good ... tried to push the run and be consistent on the shoulder-to-overhead. Fun to work this movement after not having trained much overhead (only seated strict press/db press) for most of the pandemic. Fun morning in the gym.

8/11/22

Complete Rest ... pretty tired from traveling... got back in late last night past 1 am ... wanted to workout today, but just listened to my body and rested. 

8/10/22

 Last day on the road today... dropped into another CF class. Had a really solid workout... haven't clean and jerked in a very long time and it surprisingly felt really good. Additionally, the conditioning workout really rocked me... it was very challenging crossfit, felt like an open workout. 

A.
EMOM 10:

4 Overhead Squats (115#)
5 C2B Pull-ups

Overall really fun crossfit and a nice way to start the day. 

Tuesday, August 9, 2022

8/9/22

 Complete Rest ... slightly banged up from yesterday, not too sore, but generally tired. 

8/8/22

 Hike about 10-11 Miles out and back with about 3000 ft elevation gain over the first half ... hiked to near the summit of Thompson Peak in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness, the highest peak of the range ... my friend was struggling with the last bit of the ascent, so we called the hike before actually reaching the summit. I would definitely like to go back some day and finish this peak out. Probably the most difficult hike I've ever done and one of the most beautiful. 

8/7/22

 Complete Rest 

Saturday, August 6, 2022

8/6/22

8/5/22

Dropped into a CF class today while traveling ... had no idea what was on the board, just showed up and had fun. Nice cardio session to start the day.

A.
EMOM 20, for max reps:
Min 1 - Toes-to-Bar
Min 2 - Burpees
Min 3 - Cal Row
Min 4 - Rest 

-Don't remember the exact reps, but went 25/25/23/20/20 on the TTB ... burpees went between 18-12 each set ... rows were 15-20 cals a set ... cardio sweat, not too taxing, which was good coming off this recent cold. 

8/4/22

Complete Rest / traveling ... not the best day... had to wake up really early and didn't get great rest while flying.

8/2/22

Further complete rest ... was hoping to be over my illness today... but still felt pretty awful and definitely not in any form to workout. 

8/1/22

 Further Complete Rest ... I was not planning on resting today, but I got very sick yesterday ... body aches/fever/congestion/sore throat ... took multiple COVID tests which were all negative ... feel better today, but definitely not 100% or anywhere near good enough that training would be meaningful.
