Was really torn this morning. With the Team Series part two this weekend, and stress and fatigue from life, I would have like to stay in bed.
However I was awake at 4am and there was no chance of falling back to sleep so I just got up and got ready.
For warm up we did a 5 min AMRAP of 7 cal row, 8 ring rows and 9 air squats.
Then we moved on to the strength work.
4 sets of 4 push press at 85% of max, I did 155# and that was not easy, so a good choice.
Worked with Kyle, who is much stronger than I am but as tall and nursing a shoulder issue so we did the same weight, only his were touch and go. After I thanked him for destroying my ego, so paused between reps. Nice of him.
For the squats, well he just added 45# plates for an extra 90# to whatever I was doing.
We did 6 singles at roughtly 82%, 82%, 87%, 90%, 92%, 92%
I did 255#, 255#, 275#, 285#, 295# I guess I miscounted. Good enough.
Then the WOD. An innocent looking AMRAP of only 8 minutes with only:
- 5 dead lifts 255#/175#
- 5 burpee chest to bar pull ups
That's it. Started to suck at the end though.
I scaled the deadlifts to 185#, but only because I thought Rx was 225#. If I had realized my mistake I might have gone for 225#, but with my eye recovering and all, 185# was likely a good choice.
The burpees were rough.
I managed 5 full rounds and 6 reps into round 6. Happy with that.
