Friday 2 Dec 11

Balance Gym

Handstand push-ups 5 x 5 (25# bumper plate and Ab-mat)

Skill work: 3 rounds of:

15 push-ups
20 box jumps (24 inch)
15 pull-ups
50 double-unders
15 GHD sit-ups

Notes: Decided to get some work in today instead of my usual Friday rest day. Goal was to use the 35# bumper plates for HSPUs, but I was only able to manage to three reps on the first set. I dropped it down to the 25# plates and attempted four more sets. Even then, I struggled far more than last week. I chalk it up to the 150 wallball shots from Thursday and an absolutely horrible week at work. Even though I struggled, I'm still glad that I worked on one of my weaknesses. The rest of the skill work, but my legs didn't have a ton of juice on box jumps and double-unders. These movements become more difficult as my weight creeps up, but I guess that's part of the give-and-take. I'm hoping that incorporating some rowing and running intervals into my help with my endurance on these movements.
