Hokay. After last weekend my game plan for training has changed. No gaming, no pacing. No mental 'sets' within sets with rest. If the reps are 20, go for 20, if it's 50, go for 50. It's proving to be painful. Hit 50 26" box jumps, jump pull ups, kettlebells, lunges...ran into the K2E and took the hit on the shoulder post-arm-wrestling (DO NOT ARM WRESTLE). 10-8-6-5 and then 3's and 2's. 50 straight on the push press, 10's on BE, 10 or 11 wall balls and goodbye ears. Hit that wall at 18:something-or-other and had to sit down. Made myself work 10's of WB, finished with a set of 20 thinking I could still hit a PR. Overheated, no ears. I'm not sure when I stood back up and tried to do burpees but my body would not function...worlds slowest ugliest burpees. Did some inside, some outside, poured water on my head and back and then more inside in front of the fan. 2-36-12 on DU's.
33:36 Rx
Lidocaine on the shoulder.
Looking forward to hitting this one again.

Active rest - ran and walked the Venetian Causeway with a local running club.

37:50. Tried not to game it. Went through the first half with minimal rest. Knees to elbows slowed it down. In the end i think i rested too much on the wall ball (sets of 5, then 7, then 10) and the burpees (sets of 5, then 7, then 10).

Still beat my old time by 2 minutes.

KTE's take me forever once I lose grip - 5 at a time. I really like that one though. Still hit a PR at sub 29 (rx)

Paul said...

39:26 RX, but my KTE's may be a little suspect, I took almost 20 minutes on the last 3.

PANOS said...

woops! thought my box jumps where at 24". they where actually at 20". I would add a minute or so to the total. Still not copmpletely satisfied with my effort.
Hey adam 5 KTE's at a time is actually not bad. So long as you dont sit too long off of the bar.
Paul, KTE's are only truly KTE's if your knees touch your elbows! Pretty black and white.

Pete about as black and white as a 24" box jump ;)

Slim Biscayne said...

Gentlemen, gentleman. I sense some tension. Let's resolve it in a more healthy manner. 50 plio (true) burpees head to head.

PANOS said...

My counting skillz are off. Just burpees? bring them on!
