Workouts for this week are DONE. Looking forward to taking the next week off and giving my body an extended rest. The pre-WOD was bench press 4x8. I was good at 40lb, then then I tried to go up to 45. I made one set of 8 at 45 and then got stuck under the bar after 5 reps on my last set. When I read today's WOD, I wrote it off as being easy mainly because it was short. Oh boy was I wrong. It was 16 grueling minutes, but I pushed myself through it. It was an EMOM so for 16 minutes we rotated between the following movements every minute on the minute. - 10 calories row - 8 burpees - 20 hollow rocks - 15 KB swings @ 12kg I've been slacking on my 10 burpees / day because I noticed they were staring to take a toll on my knee. I might start that back up in June. I couldn't do 8 burpees in a minute, so I dropped to five. Kettlebell swings and rowing I did fine, but hollow rocks were brutal. I can't do a real hollow rock, but even my modified version felt like ab torture. It's clear my core is really holding me back. Maybe instead of burpees I need to do daily planks or sit-ups instead.
