A good fit from CF Invictus for what I wanted to do today (WOD from March 30, 2018)

Christine – 3 rounds for time

  • 500m Row
  • 12 x Deadlift @ Bodyweight
  • 21 x Box Jumps @ 24 inches

Then 3 rounds of

  • 6-8 x Single Leg Deadlift
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 6-8 x Glute Bridge
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 45 second side plank each side
  • Rest 60 seconds

Results:  For Christine 14:18.  Not bad compared to last time where I did Christine in 13:58 and this time it was after just one week back from a 2 week vacation.  Compare to workout from January 30, 2017.   For the deadlift used a 95lbs/45kg barbell.  For the glut bridge used a 45lbs plate on my torso since the 95lbs barbell didn’t really work for me.

Back from vacation… went for a short 4k run yesterday, now some basic strength building to get into the swing of things again.

Every 30 seconds for 20 minutes move through each of the following stations (30 seconds per station, 10 rounds per station)

  • Station 1:  4 x Strict Pullups
  • Station 2: 8 x Pushups
  • Station 3: 12 x Situps
  • Station 4: 16 x Air Squats

Then 2 rounds (inspired by Fit2Day)

  • 50 x Double Unders
  • 10 x Kneel-Stand with 30lbs Sandbag on shoulder, switch shoulder per rep (down/up-left+ down/up-right is one rep)
  • 10 x Russian Twist (left+right is one rep)

Results:  Not one of the more exciting workouts but a good start.  Double unders went better than I thought they would after such a long break, first round missed at 34 reps, second round unbroken.
