Good Morning!
I didn't have a great morning. Got up late and had trouble breathing but I attempted to do my workout. Did the pullup challenge:
2/1/1/1/
Last set was supposed to be 2 but I would up doing 3/4 and 1/2. I probably should have taken more rest before I attempted the last set.
Santa Monica: Really like this workout but it was tough for me. These endurance workouts are killer. I also did the ropes off option with 60 secs. rest.
Round 1: Figure 8s to a hold: Did the whole 3 minutes. Did the first minute with 25# and the next two minutes with 20#. This round seemed to go on forever.
Round 2: Turkish Getups - This round was even worse for me than Round 1. I literally had to stop after almost every TGU but managed to complete the whole 5 minutes which felt like 30.
Round 3: Swings - Had to rest after each minute of swings. Did plié squats with the 20# bell for 1 min.
Round 4: This actually was the easiest round for me. Used 2 20#s. Did all the double chest presses and singles on each side without stopping. Rested for about 30 secs. then did the pushups. Did all the squats and jumping squats.
That was all I managed to do. I did preview the rest though. I guess he didn't do a bonus snatch round since he did the alternating snatches in round 7. I can't decide which was worse - Newport or Santa Monica. I found Firepower easier than Santa Monica although like I said, the strength workouts are easier for me. I'll reserve judgment for when I do this when my breathing is normal. I still feel like I got a great workout even though I only did half. I don't know how I'd ever get through if I had the ropes!
Gin - I really missed chatting with you this week. How's your marathon training going? Did you like this month's rotation? Would you be interested in doing a pullup challenge with us? We just started this week. Don't know if you have a pullup bar. I asked this on the KB thread. We're going to be painting our dining room and living room. Dining room is next to kitchen which is Mustard Gold. Living room is extension of dining room. Any color suggestions? Are you going to do Circuit Zone next week?
Deanie - Did DH get your pullup bar up and running? Thanks for the suggestion about the painting.
Have a great day!
