Wednesday April 25th

I was amazing torn on what the hell to do tonight for some reason. My back was tight cuz my hamstrings were tight from the travel and I just could not shake everything loose with all the foam rolling on the planet.. So I decided posterior chain stuff or full depth squats were out..

The WOD from Tuesday looked fun though so I decided to give it a go just to get back into things.. No full depth and nothing heavy, looked like a straight up gasser.

AMRAP 12

Row 150 (no straps)

OH Walking Lunge 35#

12 Burpees

4 Rounds + 150m row and about 5 lunge steps..

Lunges are such mystery to me, they get so challenging so quickly even though they are a slow deliberate movement. Yuck.

I cruised the first round with a sub 30 second row, straight lunges and straight burpees in 2 minutes flat. The next two rounds were a little more paced, probably more like 3 minutes or so.. Last round was sort of blah.. I got to the burpees and was just like whoooaaaa breatheeeee.. 

(side note, Griff and I set it up so that you had to carry the weight back to the rower on the other side of the room.. I think I had 5 rounds in me if we set up the room more with rowers and plates on either side, but whatever, still a good WOD.)

I am really enjoying my streak of rowing without straps, I feel like it is making me a lot more smooth on my form.. I think it will help me a lot when I go to test a 500 or 2k row or something with full straps.. I am starting to feel just as comfortable without them there at all which is great.
