A nice easy active rest for tonight.

We did a bunch of warm up moves, but longer durations of each, 60-90 seconds of each.

Lots of moves, way too many to name.

Once we completed these moves, we moved on to a quick 10 minutes of cardio

5 rounds of jumping jax, 30 seconds on 30 off

Then

5 rounds of step ups, 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off, with the 20lb sandbag

We finished with foam rollers to break up the kinks in the armor :)

Was a great night, tomorrow back to kettle bells

Hostyle Conditioning - Class - Double whammy !!

Today I pushed myself about as hard as I could... 2 workouts!

I started with my regular 9am class. Hostyle conditioning.

Here is what we did

Standard WOD

We then did some good old stations.

30 seconds each

Suitcase dead lifts with 2 kettle bells
Crunches (up and hold for 1 second)
Lunges
Blue band pull downs

We did a bunch of rounds with a 1 minute break in between each round.

As we went, the rounds got hard and harder with doubles, triples and even one quad were introduced...

Once we were done those, we moved on to steel drum over head carries around the gym.

They were empty steel oil drums, we cleaned and pressed them over our heads, then we had to carry them around in circles. I did double laps and a triple, we did a bunch of those and that was that... :)

Now for the next phase for me. Around 2 hours later I was invited to do some power lifting, I haven't done any in a long time, so I said sure! haha...

I don't remember what I did exactly, I did some benching:

135lb for a few reps
155lb for 2 reps
and a couple 165 for 1's

I also did some dead lifting

225lb 4 sets of 5 reps

I finished with some plate raises, 4 sets of 15 with 60 seconds rest in between.

That was the end of my day.. I really feel weird right now, tomorrow and Monday will be a treat. I am glad Sunday is a day of rest!

Hostyle Conditioning - Class - The return of the Javorek...

Tonight was our cross fit class. It was nice to get another one in... However, as soon as I arrived, I knew things were going to be bad... Jo was leaving and all she said was Jevorek. I almost threw up at that point... I hate Jevorek complexes....

Well away we went downstairs...

Started with the standard WOD (warm up of the day)

Jevorek complex.

Hanging clean and press
Squats
shrugs
bent over rows
deadlifts
pushups

All done with an olympic bar. I used the 135lb weight for the deadlifts and shrugs, and a 65lb for the rest..

It normally is 6 rounds of 6 reps, but today it was worse...
3 rounds
20 seconds
30 seconds
60 seconds (ridiculous)

I cant express how difficult the 60 seconds of each move was... It was terrible.

We finished with a ball slam challenge, I partnered with Mike and we did 20 slams each and passed the 25lb medicine ball back and forth for a bunch of rounds, ended up being 6 rounds for me... 120 slams! haha. That was with dead arms... freekin Curd....

All in all, was a great night!

Hostyle Conditioning - Class - Kettle Bell - RELENTLESS
