Wednesday 29 Aug 12

Balance Gym

Bench press/Pendlay rows 5 x 5 @ 155#

1 x AMRAP bench press @ 135#

19

Metcon:  EMOTM for 15 minutes of:

35 double-unders

Notes:  Was expecting Olympic weightlifting today, but we never heard anything from Chris.  So, instead, I decided to work some upper body strength.  Kept weight moderate on bench press because didn't want to be crazy sore.  Surprised myself on the burnout set by getting 19 reps.  I remember back when I used to bench press all the time and struggled to ever get 10 reps at that weight.  Pendlay rows were probably slightly on the heavy side, but I wanted to use the same weight as bench press.  35 double-unders at the top of each minute was much more difficult than 30, even though it doesn't seem like much.  Probably turned out to be a little more difficult than what is appropriate for EMOTM work.
