Ted, Eric, Matt, Kelly joined me for the 6AM class with Brian and Jerry coaching.
Brian changed up our warm up and activiation routine with butterfly setups and some other new tricks. For jump rope we did 30 seconds slow and 30 seconds as fast as possible.
For our skill we spent a long time working on snatch technique with the PVC. Once in a while I can get it. There are just so many things to remember to create the correct form. I have found that one of Jerry’s favorite things to do when we are practicing with PVC pipe is come up behind you and push your back and see if you fall over. If you have the correct form you should be solid as a rock.
I was still sore from yesterday’s workout so I knew that whatever we did today would be hard for me.
We did Barbara (or at least tried)
20 Pull ups
30 Push ups
40 Set ups
50 Air Squats
5 sets (3 minutes rest between sets)
The goal was 5 sets but we only did 3
Results (Total time)
Matt–22:52
Eric–22:56
Kelly–23:00
Ted–26:45
Terry–28:14
I was really falling behind this morning. I really lose time on the set ups and squats. The intent was to do 5 sets but when it was taking the fastest people 22 or 23 minutes to get done with 3 it became clear that we were only going to go with 3 sets.
The snow has stopped but the ground is covered by several inches. All the roads are clear and we are expecting temps in the 40′s today and nice weather tomorrow.
Debbie, Mom and I will be going to Columbus tomorrow for dinner with C and M. Mom might stay for a couple of days but Debbie and I have to get back for the dogs and Debbie has to be at work to have the store open at 4AM on Friday.
I am cointinuing to enjoy having a couple of days off work. I have at least 1 day off each week for the rest of the year.
Brook Burke was the winner last night on “Dancing with the stars”. I was right on with my prediction. On week one I said it would be Brook or Lance. Brook was the best technical dancer but I think Lance should have made 2nd place over Warren.
In the Crossfitlegacy blog today Brian put out a 30 day diet challenge based on eliminating refined sugars from our diets. I am in on that.
I am amazed that you can do these tough, muscle straining exercises back to back. Wow! Role Model.
I knew Brooke would win too…..
You are amazing! I cannot imagine doing the workouts you do….maybe someday, I really need to start pushing myself more…..you are my hero!
