Month: April 2018

As I was heading down to the gym, got a call from on of the guys on the team, had to talk through some statistics questions. Ate up pretty much all the time I had. I tried to jump on the rower while talking to him but that was an instant fail.

I ended up racing through the following:

1K row
25 Russian kb swings 1.5 pood
25 hand to hand kb swings 1.5 pood

Better than nothing, but not what I intended. I had to really convince myself not to just call it off and head to work.

I’ve gotten in 1.5 workouts since I tried to jump back in two weeks ago. It’s a start, but it sucks.

Workout 1 (the .5 in my total) went like this:

Plan: let’s just do things I love. Rowing and bench. Simple, fun.

1k row Sprint

Then

5×5 bench press

Did the row, died with about 200m left, by the time I was done my split time was up like 25 seconds from my median pace. Fell off the rower and rolled around on the floor unable to walk, finally bringing myself over to the trash can that I had to hold on to for a good 30 minutes until my stomach returned to normal. The whole time my 5 year old was trying to help me, which was adorable, but kinda pathetic.

And that was day one.

Day two, today, went a bit better. Same idea, do what I like to do, but maybe dial is back a step.

1k row (moderate pace, NOT Sprint)

THEN

4Rounds:

12 strict shoulder press

12 American Swing 1.5 pood

I got through this one. Feeling good. Looking forward to day 3.
