Started feeling unwell after Wednesday's workout, so I took yesterday completely off.
Stomach was in a knot, but unlike every other member of my family, I didn't toss my cookies at all.
Feeling much better today.
Good workout. Coach slept through his alarm today, but there was no way I was missing another workout, so I waited for the 6:30 class (after getting the okay from Kiza that she wasn't having a disastrous morning).
Glad I did.
Strength was pause squats. 3 sets of 5 pausing a full three seconds at the bottom, no bounce.
Did 185#, 185#, 195#. I wish I had started at 195# and gone up to 205#, because 195# felt the same as 185#, the first ones were easy the last ones really hard. Which is the point of strength development.
The WOD was something new.
5 rounds for time of :
- 500m row
- 15 bench press Rx 135# (did 125# first round, 115# 4 subsequent rounds).
What a full body workout. I feel it from head to toe.
The first row I went out like a bat out of hell, finished in 1:40. Did the bench unbroken, but the last reps were rough and I new I wouldn't be able to sustain that for 4 more rounds.
2nd row was much more conservative, 2:05 or something, did 11 and 4 on the bench.
All the subsequent rows were similar to this
3 round did 8, 4 and 3 on the bench. 4th was 7, 5 and 2 and finally 5, 5 and 5.
Took 23:21 gassed at the end.
