Tabata Something Else

"Tabata Something Else"
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where...

the first 8 intervals are pull-ups,
the second 8 are push-ups,
the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally,
the last 8 intervals are squats.

There is no rest between exercises.

Rep Totals: (Compared to 5-10-09)
Pull-ups: 15+13+12+8+8+7+7+6 = 76 (73)+ 3
Push-ups: 27+24+15+14+11+10+9+8 = 118 (119) -1
Sit-ups: 14+12+12+12+11+11+12+12 = 96 (98) -2
Squats: 25+20+22+18+17+16+15+16 = 149 (151) -2

Total Reps: 439 reps (-2 from last time; 441 reps on 5-1-09)

After hauling hay for 7 hours straight yesterday, I really thought pull-ups would be my worst, but they ended up being the only thing I PR'd on. Everything else I went down on by a rep or two. Not sure how Daniel came out, but I am sure he is wondering whether or not hauling all that hay impacted the outcome this afternoon.

Still a great WOD though. Thanks to the Love Doctor for getting my lazy bum into the weight room.

L-Pull-ups and Legless Rope Assents

Went into this one knowing it was going to be more of a skill day. My inability to do L-pullups or climb a rope were the two deciding factors. There were some logictical issues as well with where the rope hangs and having the kids in tow.

Ended up doing 3 leisurely rounds of 21 Tuck pullups and 15 towel pullups.

On a positive I was able to do all pullups with a tuck. Couldn't do that last time this came up. Did it in chunks of 5-11 or so.

Also strung together 10 double unders in a row. Previous best was 7. Love I'm coming for you...lol.

Fight Gone Bad

We went to Ha Ha Tonka yesterday with the kiddos to do some hiking. When I saw this sign I told Amanda we ought to do 3 ascents followed by 21 burpees for time, but she didn't think it would be a good idea. I even volunteered to carry Owen and let her carry Maisie...

"Fight Gone Bad"

Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball (subbed 45# BB Thrusters): 37, 25, 20 (82)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds: 30, 20, 15 (65)
Box Jump, 20” box: 25, 17, 15 (57)
Push-press, 75 pounds: 30, 21, 20 (71)
45# KB Swing* (No Rower): 23, 17, 17 (57)

*reminder for next time...use chalk...hands were slipping

Total Score: 332

Up from 323 on 3-29-09.

A PR is a PR, but I'm not extremely pleased with this. Thought I would do better. Came in at 5:30-45pm to do this after working in my room. It was hot, I was alone, and hiking 2.5-3.0 hours with three kids in tow at Ha Ha Tonka the day before might have played into the results. I am curious to see how I do next time. Didn't feel like I was very into it. I had to beat down the urge to quit after the first round.

JT

JT
21-15-9 reps of:
Handstand push-ups
Ring dips (No rings…subbed Bar Dips 3:1)
Push-ups

Last time I did the first round as Rx’d with the 3:1 sub for ring dips and then went to do the set of 15 HSPUs and barely got 2 so I switched to piked off of a box.

Previous time was 10:46 with the box progression HSPUs for sets 15-9.

Today’s Time as Rx’d: 13:20

I did the first set of 21 HSPUs unbroken, but all HSPU sets thereafter were done in sets of 2-3 with a whole lotta arm swinging in between.

Ben and I were reminiscing of the days of old when we used to put 315 on the bar and do sets of 15-20 because we didn't feel like going heavy...those days feel like a they were in a different lifetime...
