Personal training with Paul.

Reverse Fran
Time = 12:24

That's a damn sight quicker than my regular Fran (15:13), which surprised me. I thought I'd be slower because I'd become more fatigued as I progressed. Perhaps the earlier, shorter rounds allowed me to warm up my muscles more, though.

======

The rest of today's session actually felt tougher by comparison.

Supersets:
Incline dumbbell bench press - 35s x 10, 10, 7, 6
Push-ups - 5, 7, 5, 6

===

Dips - 7, 5, 5
Push downs - 30 x 8, 6, 5

======

Cable flies/curls, drop sets
30s - 10, 7, 6
20s - 6, 5, 4

Conditioning

I needed plenty of leg warm ups before my first routine because my hamstrings and glutes are pretty sore from yesterday's leg session.

Fran: 21-15-9 rft
Thrusters @ 95lb
Kipping pull-ups
Time = 15:32

That's a lot slower than nearly a year ago. Today I was fresh - i.e. last time I did some weight work first - so not improving is a big disappointment. This morning the thrusters took more out of me than I expected, and I needed plenty of breaks. Strangely, I think the round of 9 - when I was already fatigued - was my most fluid. I only managed doubles, but when I picked up the bar from the ground, I did a squat clean and punched the bar overhead when I got to the upright position. When the bar came back down to my chest, I went straight into a squat.

5rft:
5 deadlifts @ 225lb
10 otb burpees (total)
Time = 8:13

The closest routine I've done to this in the past was in February 2012 with standard burpees, when I finished in 8:51. My energy level seemed to jump up a notch during this workout. I collapsed on my back into a steaming puddle of sweat at the end.
