Yesterday - Stations 2 -
On call of "rotate", each person moves immediately to the next station in the sequence 3 rounds.
- Wallball (men: 20 lbs/women: 16 lbs)
- Pullups
- Slamball (20 lbs/16 lbs)
- Situps
- Box jumps (20"/16")
Hmmm...this one really does need a new name. The bad part, all of my naming creativity is wrapped up in alliteration, and I got nothing....bouncing balls? Guess I'm not really feeling creative tonight.
In theory, this should be my A1 favorite of all time because it has my beloved slamball in it. However doing slamball for a full minute and not just 10-15 reps then throwing to the next person are two completely different things. Especailly after wallball and pullups. HELLO! Can you say ultra arm pain!! Oh, and did I mention how particularly painful this was after kettlebell hell at super mega weight? Oy Vay!! I tried to do pullups with the dead hang..HA! that was comical! I kind of gave up on that quickly. I ended up with a total score of 228 ish. It'll be interesting to see what I can do if I ever can do pullups. (yes, strange sentence, I know - a bit Seussian perhaps?)
So, today, the full anguish of Dr. Tabata's kettlebell delicacy at uber-high weight really kind of came to fruition in my arms/shoulders. Despite this, and the intensity of the last couple days, I really wanted to do today's workout -
Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 rep
Possibly because I don't feel like I've done much in the shoulder press realm lately...not really sure...but this was one that I wanted to do. So I did. Shoulder presses...eh, not fabulous, but I have a tendency to lean back and try to turn them into bench presses. So, I focused on "the straight line" today - and shockingly, once again, I was weaker when using the correct form. Is form really that necessary?? Shoulder press I did 95/failed at 95 twice, went down to 85, then 90...I think. Then we went to Push press. Apparently most people with this workout average the same weight for the different exercises - me not so much. Push press is far easier for me thank you to what is evidently my freakishly strong hip strength
Not sure what to think about that.....
Ah well, push press, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120X1.
Push Jerk, was 80/85/90/95/100/105.
Overall - not bad considering my overall soreness. Could I have done better had I not been sore?? Hard to say ....only the shadow knows......
Now, it's time for some Advil, so that I can be ready to play again
