Wrong Day

I did not get up and work out on Monday because I was planning to run during lunch at work but I left for work and left my workout bag sitting at home. No workout. I was thinking I would do it when I got home but it was my wife's birthday so I decided that would not be a good idea. Today I did take my gear to work but I just had no time to get it in to the day so when I got home I got a workout in before dinner. I warmed up with the usual 200 jump rope singles then 3 rounds:

  • 10 push pus
  • 10 sit ups
  • 10 air squats
I then did 7 rounds of:

  • 7 thrusters @ 78#
  • 7 pull ups
  • 7 burpees
I scaled to jumping pretty early on the pull ups and for rounds 6 and 7 I dropped the weight to 73#. I completed the 7 rounds in 19:09. I am pretty beat after that, my arms don't really want to move. Feels pretty good though. I have a bag packed for tomorrow as well and will try to get a short run in at lunch. Will see how that goes.

Partner Workout

Well it wasn't really but my son did the workout with me so... We warmed up with 200 jump rope singles followed by 3 rounds of:

  • 10 push-ups
  • 10 sit-ups
  • 10 air squats
Next we did 5 rounds of:

  • 10 burpees
  • 40 flutter kicks
  • 5 cleans @ 88#
  • 15 push-ups
My son did modified pull-ups instead of cleans. I finished in 15:47 and he was done in 10:35. I was modifying push-ups by the last round, perhaps the push-ups during the warm up was a bad idea. This was the workout posted on my old gym website as today's St. Patty's day workout. They also had a shot of beer in between each round but I skipped that part.

Run

I am probably going to be kicking myself when I have to play hockey tonight at 9:00 but I decided to take a run today at lunch. I ended up doing 2.85 miles in 24:38 for a pace of 8:38. this is pretty slow for me and I felt like I had a fat chic on my back for most of it but considering I haven't run in months I guess I am pretty happy with the result. It is just nice to be able to get outside and do something since the weather finally gave way here.

Repeat

Same workout as last Monday. Warm up I did 200 jump rope singles followed by 3 rounds:
  • 10 push-ups
  • 10 PVC arm circles
  • 10 walking lunges
Workout was 3 rounds:
  • 10 burpees
  • 10 sit-ups
  • 10 air squats
  • 10 knee raises 
I was thinking I might add 2 extra rounds to it this morning but decided not to since I have a hockey game this evening and I am still trying to ease my way back into things. If I do it again I will do 5 rounds though. I got a more accurate time for the workout this morning and it only took me 6:27 so I definitely feel like I want to add some more work to this one.

Bear

I warmed up today with 100 jumping jacks followed by 3 rounds:

  • 10 push-ups
  • 10 sit-ups
  • 10 PVC arm circles
I then did a bear complex workout. 5 sets of 7 of the bear complex @78#. This involves power clean, front squat, push press, back squat, push press then back to the ground to complete one rep. You are supposed to rest during a set only in a position with the bar off the ground according to the rules, not sure who made these rules. I did the last 2 sets in smaller sets of 3-2-2 with a very short break between because I did not want to drop the bar on my head, prudent I think. I did finish it all though.

Cleans and Burpees

Two times this week, maybe I am back at it. We will see how well I do keeping it up. For warm up I did 200 jump rope singles followed by 3 rounds:

  • 10 push-ups
  • 10 sit-ups
  • 10 air squats
I know, I am boring as shit but oh well it makes it easy. I then did a 15-12-9-6-3:

  • Clean @ 78#
  • Bar facing burpees
I started off timing myself but was doing it with my new watch and about 2:00 in my gloves must have hit the stop button so I have no idea how long this took. Felt a bit better today than Monday, hopefully a little better again on Friday. Need to decide what I am going to do.

Lazy

So my lazy ass has not been getting out of bed and doing shit for working out in a long time. It has been cold as hell here and I just don't want to get out of bed in the morning. Also, I have been busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest with other shit. I finally got my ass out of bed Monday and did a workout. Warm up I did 200 jump rope singles followed by 3 rounds:

  • 10 push-ups
  • 10 PVC arm circles
  • 10 walking lunges
I did a workout which consisted of 3 rounds:

  • 10 burpees
  • 10 sit-ups
  • 10 air squats
  • 10 knee raises 
I timed myself on this and finished in something a bit over 6:00, don't remember exactly what because I did not record it on Monday. It was not that tough of a workout but at least I got up and did it. I need to be training since I am signed up for 2 spartan races already this year, a super and a beast. I will be signing up for a sprint as well whenever they announce the local one.
