Monday…
We did a good high level class, working on one arm push ups, shoulder presses, pull ups, sprints, single leg squats, pliometrics and more.
After, I hit the bike for 7.6 miles at 23.8MPH for 19 minutes of fun before the clients started coming in.
After the clients, I did the Sweet 16.
16 minutes of Tabata Intervals. Click the link for a bit of detail on this fun, grueling way to exercise.
Simply put, it is 20 seconds of intense-as-possible work, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times for the chosen exercise.
The Sweet 16, day 16 of the Ross Training Infinite Intensity program, uses heavy bag punching, bodyweight squats and push ups.
Round One: Heavy Bag (minutes 0-4)…feel your power decrease…
Round Two: Squats (minutes 5-8)…started at 20 the first round, ended at 17 on the last
Round Three: Heavy Bag (minutes 9-12)…feel what it feels like to lack power…
Round Four: Push Ups (minutes 13-16)…yeesh, not so much. Round one got to 10 before I had to go to my knees, by the last rounds I was getting to only five full pushes before having to use knees. Humbling to say the least.
Fran…from Crossfit
might wanna turn the volume down
21 Thrusters 95 lb
21 Pull Ups
15 Thrusters 95 lb
15 Pull Ups
9 Thrusters 95 lb
9 Pull Ups
Get there however you can.
Pete set the bar with a smart effort, breaking the larger sets into smaller sets like 7/7/7, setting an awesome first time mark of 7:04. I followed suit, breaking them into larger sets of 11/10, 8/7, 5/4.
Hit 6:05, would’ve broke 6:00 but I locked out and lost rhythm on the very last pull up.
That’s okay, previous PR was 13:38, dropped to 8:57 last time, and now 6:05. I’ll take it. Goal is four minutes.
Later, after lunch and a hardware run to get sand…

5 standing wheel rollouts
20 Russian Twists with 25 lb ball
12 back extensions

and then, after a little rest
10 miles on the bike.
26:31, average speed 22.5 mph, focusing on a cadence of more than 100 at all times.
A good Saturday.
Thursday…
Rest, Eat, Sleep
