My body is really happy this week is over. Even without lunch time workouts yesterday and likely today, it's been an intense week.
Strength was bench press. Lucky I didn't go to the gym yesterday, I was planning to do bench.
Started with 3 rep max then 3 sets of 12 for volume.
Worked up to 185# for 3, the last rep I had to lift my butt off the bench to get it up, so technically shouldn't count, but I got it up unassisted to I'll take it.
For the 3 sets of 12 I tried 135#, probably should have gone with 115# or 125#, but hey, go big or go home.
The first 12 was fine, better than I expected. The second 12 was rough, the last rep was a fight. The third set, I made it to 7 and there was nothing left.
Happy with that.
The WOD was another killer. A real sweat fest.
12 min AMRAP
-1 rope climb
-12 walking lunges with 16kg kettle bells in each hand
-10 toes to bar
-15 wall balls 20# medicine ball
Haven't done rope climbs in ages. Did it all Rx which was nice, but after round two I was on track for 4 complete rounds, round 3 it all fell apart. The lunges were slow, the toes to bar couldn't chain them together, wall balls were horrible.
At the buzzer, I was 2 steps into the lunges of round 4! Ugh.
Glad it's over. Two rest days ahead of me. Thankfully.
