Tonight’s workout was difficult, as expected as I did exercises I
haven’t done with any consistency in some time, especially the
pull-ups, which had been hampered by my “tennis elbow”.

What wasn’t expected, was how crappy I felt afterwards. I initially
thought it was just because I had been neglecting these that I was so
discombobulated but then I realized I hadn’t eaten all day and I was
under-hydrated. Just plain dumb.

Anyway, the workout was all bodyweight stuff.

200 reps of push-ups, pull-ups (assisted) and squats in the fewest amount of sets needed to hit 200.

Push-ups: 40/30/30/21/25/20/16/20 = 202. 8 sets, for just over an average of 25 reps.
Pull-ups: 20/20/20/25/25/25/25/20/21 =201. 9 sets, for a 22.3 rep average.
Squats: 50/50/30/50/20 =200. 5 sets, for a 40 rep average.

I’m glad this one is done. I gotta go eat something!

This is one of the benchmark WODS that focuses on cardiovascular bodyweight exercises and is relatively steady-state, with a pick up in activity at the start of the next exercise. That little...
  4. Back Squats, 6 x 5This was a good day to do some back squats. I needed to improve at the bottom of the squat, in the "hole". To do that, I went to 60% of my 1RM which, at 165# is a moderate weight for me. Six sets, 5 reps each, all with good...

  7. AngieIn 2006, most of my workouts were in the morning from 6:00-7:00, either at Crossfit Marina or Met-Rx. In 2007, the majority of the workouts have been in the pm and I generally prefer late afternoon or early evening. Today, I decided to at the very least do a morning...
