Okay, so just because I am not on the "3 on 1 off" training schedule does not mean I am slacking. I am just really focused on building my powerlifts for this upcoming meet and to assure strength gains I need more rest. It is crunch time right now, I need to gain strength and lose weight before November 20th. Last week, as I mentioned in a previous post, I was thrashed going into my Friday session, volume day, and it turned into one of the hardest squat days of my life. I am going to attempt to PR today in the squat so I gave myself a little extra rest this week. Yesterday, Thursday, I got into the gym and did two met-cons, don't worry, the total time for both combined was 7:49.
Race with Louis, first to 100 double unders:
I squeaked out the victory!
1:23
I am satisfied with this although I am sure I can get it under a minute, especially since I started off 1, miss, 2, miss....
50 burpee-pull ups
6:26
My original plan was to do the pull ups strict, that lasted until rep 15, then I used a slight kip for the rest of the way. I did not stop and made sure I was at dead hang before each pull up. The one downside to the gym I use now is the pull up bar. It is across the top of a 7 ft cage. If I want to hang from it I have to bend my knees so my feet don't touch the ground (not to mention that my fat ass shakes the cage on every swing). This adds a bit of difficulty to kipping. Overall I feel pretty fresh today and ready to set some PR's!
