Saturday-Day 6
Today was conditioning. I had planned on going to my friend's CrossFit gym today for the community class, but I forgot that he had a competition today and chances are they weren't having open gym anyways. So....I did kettlebell swings. A lot of them. The only shitty part was that my grip endurance was not at 100% (probably from doing so much kettlebell stuff this week). However, the only set I had to take breaks on was the last set of 50 and I ended up only doing 3 rounds since my forearms were burnt out. Here is how the workout is laid out:
1-5 rounds of KB swings(53# KB for me): 10 swings/rest 30 sec, 15 swings/30 sec, 25 swings/30 sec, 50 swings (Rest 3 min)
So each round is 100 swings and you're supposed to alternate between swings and another exercise like dips, push ups, pullups etc. I worked out at my house again and stuck to just swings since I've worked out the last 5 days so no need in breaking myself down anymore than necessary. I even decided to record my split times for each round cuz I'm a nerd when it comes to tracking progress!
Round 1: 5:00
Round 2: 5:50
Round 3: 5:32
These times are including the 30 sec rest between each mini-set of swings and as you can see I fell off a little bit on the second round but luckily found my balls before the beginning of the third round. The couple times I've done this workout my splits for each round are between 5 and 6 minutes and the time is contingent upon how long it takes me to finish the set of 50. Tomorrow will be a rest day most likely unless I'm feeling froggy and decided to go on a recovery run. I'm not sure how my legs will feel tomorrow after those front squats since DOMS usually hits me like clockwork at the 48 hour mark. Chances are I'll be fine since it was only 25 reps but then again I haven't done front squats in awhile so who knows??? Hope everyone's weekend is going well!
