Lots of changes going on at the gym. For one, they have changed their name from SoundCrossfit to Sound Strength and Conditioning. We never were that typical Crossfit Gym. I never called it a “box” without using quotations. I never entered a competition. I never treated it like a sport. I hate kipping. And have no desire or feel the need to every do a Muscle-Up, or try a handstand walk. And you know what, I’m doing okay.
So, moving forward I’ll call it strength and conditioning. Or strength training, which is how I categorized gym-related things on this blog before all this Crossfit nonsense started.
Anyway, here is March. I started doing Yoga in Feb/March. I was also sick as a dog for about a week. Wendler has started again, and as we spent a lot of time squatting over the past 6 months, the squat is not one of the lifts I’m working on this time around. I’m doing bench press, press and deadlifts. Bench Press is fun. I haven’t done it much since I left my traditional gym. I’m much stronger than I was back then. I’m also older, so a little more careful.
These, like usual, are not in any specific order, although Bench is Mondays, Press is Wednesdays and Makeups aka DLs are Fridays. They’re all jumbled up.
The original work out was a 2K. Vomit vomit. Wanna do something different? asked the coach. Yes, heck yes said the playas. So she crafted this on the spot. Much more fun, much less boring. I’d rather do pretty much anything than a 2K time trial
It’s these types of workouts where you go to your strength. For me, I ask myself, what is the lesser of three evils and the answer is usually running, unless I’m feeling particularly rebellious or stupid, then I’ll erg. I most likely will not choose DoubleUnders unless someone forces me to.
For the ring rows we put or feet on a box, and pulled one every 10 seconds. Made them much more difficult.
Me, Jean, and the guys.
Run to 60th and back is a half-mile, I believe. Lots of running this month. Or, maybe lots of running because I choose to run.
Wow. This looks terrible. One-arm KB Swings? Oh right. I ended up using a very like KB to get through this.
Different handwriting! This must be Andy. Ah yes. The top half was the official workout then halfway through he changed it up on the fly and we finished the AMRAP doing the bottom half.
