FRIDAY 14/12/12

STRENGTH

Glute ham raises

  • 4 x 6 reps @ BW

Damnnn, these almost made my hammies cramp up!

We have only one of these GHR machines at our box and I’ve been neglecting it for too long. A big squat = strong hammies.. So I better start utilizing this machine more often.

Morning WOD #1

Every minute on the minute for 10 mins.

  • 3 Power cleans – 60kg

These felt really good! 60kg cleans are feeling comfortable now, love it. May try this next week with 70kgs.

Arvo WOD #2

6 rounds.

  • 400m run
  • 1 min rest

COMPLETED: ??

Ipad battery ran out before I got a chance to record the results (myWOD is an awesome app!) but all rounds were within the 1.35-1.40min mark I think.

Did this one at the local park with Sam while walking the dog. I hate long drawn out endurance runs, but I love short sharp interval runs like this.

I’m gonna try do these more often during the week now that the weather is nice.

Arvo WOD #3 -“Annie”

50-40-30-20-10 rep rounds for time.

  • Double unders
  • Sit ups

COMPLETED: 8.22 mins RX

I love Annie! As long as you have a rope, it’s one of the few benchmark wods where you can do it anywhere, at anytime.

The fastest time for this I’ve ever gotten was 8.10, so I’m pretty happy I managed to get fairly close.

The double unders were all unbroken (wooop!) it was just the bloody sit ups that were hard! I didn’t stop at all during them, but I think my pace was just on the slow side.

Went to check out this Japanese Restaurant, Kanda Sushi in Botany, Auckland today for lunch with my mum, little sis and Sam. It was gorgeous! Sushi was yum. Place was packed too, it’s obviously a local favourite. 

I ate too much (story of my life) and can definitely say that I do not want sushi for at least a month after today lol. 

I shared these platters with the others, honest..lol.
