Time cap: 12 minutes


-286 (11:59 tie break) ... finished the 3rd round of 18 box jump-overs ... this workout was overall fun and I enjoyed getting it in ... nothing too complicated about it, for me I knew I wouldn't do the wall-balls unbroken, so I had to be strategic about breaking (1 during the set of 40) and then 16-16-18-10 for 66 ... and then I can't totally remember the 2nd set of 40... it might have been 4x10 or 15-15-10... I really can't remember as I was really pushing myself and sort of in the blackout zone ... anyway, got through that and then really pushed fast to get the last 18 box jump-overs done ... fun workout, had DOMs immediately after and throughout the day... probably going to be wrecked tomorrow.

2/25/26

AM Workout (0615)


Overall happy about how this AM went … it was a decent class session, but I was fairly protective of my bicep … really stoked to do a pull-up and generally move (ring row, rowing, DB clea and jerk) without pain … toward the end of part B I had a little pain/tightness in my bicep when picking up the DB for the lunges… but it was very minor. Grateful this is heading in the right direction, I just want to be smart about not reinjuring or otherwise hindering my recovery. 


A.

EMOM 20 (4 sets) of:
Min 1 - 5 Strict Pull-ups

Min 2 - 10 Strict Ring Dips

Min 3 - 10 Ring Rows

Min 4 - :30 Nose-to-Wall Handstand 

Min 5 - Rest 


-Complete … scaled back the total reps on the pull-ups, but I was happy here to do multiple pull-ups with zero pain on my bicep. 


B.

On a running clock:


EMOM 12 (3 sets of):

Min 1 - 15/12 Cal Row

Min 2 - 12 DB Hang Clean and Jerk (50/35#)

Min 3 - 5 Shuttle Runs (50’) 

Min 4 - 50’ DB FR Walking Lunge (2x50/35#)

PM Workout (1500)


Today I cut out two movements that aggrvated my bicep… one was tempo neutral grip pull-ups and the other was incline DB curls. Other than that, I was able to do my full back/biceps workout, ableit I kept the weights very light and a lot of the sets I rested closer to :45-:60, not :90. It was good to just move through this and get some blood in my arms and feel out my bicep.
