Weekend Update

Saturday

"McGhee"
AMRAP 30
5 DL @275
13 Push Ups
9 Box Jumps

We ended up doing this in partners, trading rounds, which I don't really think effected my score all that much to be honest.. I needed plenty of rest on that heavy DL each time, and the rest also made it so I could do the push ups either straight through or in a 10/3 split the entire time..
I said beforehand that even a day where I would do like 5x5 275 DLs would be a hefty day, let alone way more than that...

I ended up doing 12 rounds + change.. I did all of the DLs in unbroken sets but it got really challenging by the end when my lower back and legs were fatigued.. I did all of the box jumps with a rebound to save time and those felt great..

The way we paced the beginning was manageable for me.. about a round a minute.. But it was not sustainable by the end..

I think on my own I may have gotten a few more rounds, but not much more.. The rest times were crucial to let my posterior chain recover so I was ready to rock each time I got to the barbell..



Sunday
Rest like whoa. Needed a day off.. Lots of coach, sun, and bbq skewers..

(possibly the easiest paleo thing ever, right? Chicken and veggies, stab with a stick, grill, enjoy.. so good..)
