20 min stroller jog with Micah. Right around 2 miles.

Sprints on the beach destroyed me!

Three rounds for time of:
60 seconds L-sit
45 pound barbell Good mornings, 30 reps
60 Abmat sit-ups
25 pound plate Back Extensions, 30 reps

For the L-sit, accumulate 60sec. For the Good mornings and Back extensions, minimize rest over speeding the movement. For the Abmat sit-ups (substitute a rolled-up towel if needed), feet unanchored with soles together

41:22 Rx'd. Really suck at L-sits but I tried to keep it as tight as possible. Also, I wasn't worried about the time because I feel like the intent of the workout wasn't meant to be super fast. I'm sure some people did it fast...but...It was more of a midline stabilization WOD. Weight wasn't too heavy for injury so I didn't give myselft a time limit.

"Nutts"

For time:
10 Handstand push-ups
250 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
25 Box jumps, 30 inch box
50 Pull-ups
100 Wallball shots, 20 pounds, 10'
200 Double-unders
Run 400 meters with a 45lb plate

35:42 Rx'd.

Can't believe people did that in like 15 mins.

Wall balls and double unders sucked...particularly the Double unders. I went a bit lower carb to drop some lb's for a few competitions I have coming up and this was my first metcon since I started my 16P/8C/24F paleo/zone diet. I don't eat bad normally...just not militant and have probably too many nut butter crackouts. i'm going to really stick to it this time. I have a fittest over 35 challenge on november 6th ($1000 first prize) and an oly meet on november 13th. I was afraid to weigh myself starting out :) but I think i was probably a bit over 185. I'm hopin' to be 169 for the oly meet. We'll see.

"Arnie"

Modifications to the right. Never did that heavy of TGU's or single arm OHS's in a workout before so I went the safe route. Also - left arm sucks at both OHS and TGU. Something else to practice.

With a single 2 pood kettlebell:
21 Turkish get-ups, Right arm (15 reps @ 1.5pd)
50 Swings (Rx'd)
21 Overhead squats, Left arm (1.5pd)
50 Swings (Rx'd)
21 Overhead squats, Right arm (1.5pd)
50 Swings (Rx'd)
21 Turkish get-ups, Left arm (15 reps - 1st 2 - 1.5pd next 13 1pd)

45:00

7 Knees to elbows
245 pound Deadlift, 7 reps
7 Burpees
7 Kettlebell swings, 2 pood
7 Pull-ups

44:57 Rx'd

Stroller run with Micah

~2.6 miles. Went from my house to Mastro's and back. 27:42.

That stupid running stroller sucks...constantly pulls to the right.

Also...calf seized up a bit after the run...felt a tiny bit of tightness towards the end. Been dealing with this for a year, owell.
