Rower is across the gym from free weights, so seeing the 0 second rest I doubt I'm going to get the correct response going from one to the other....how do we feel about box jumps or double unders for a sub for rowing? Or just suck it up and run on over there?

Heavy Evy said...

Was going to get back at it tommorow, but I don't know how to sub this with my lower back still not 100%. Getting closer though, eating f-ing bees. Lungs need a gasser regardless, somethings getting done.

Hydro-therapy seems to be helping.

Heavy Evy said...

Angelo,
Roll the rower to the weights, and pull a "f" finger out of your pocket if anyone has a problem with it........thats what I'd do.

Just make sure you roll it back, otherwise you get the "f" finger.

A: 60,70,80,90,92 (2)
2 sets with 70kg
3 hour rest (it is called work!)
then 3 sets with 75kg

Didn't stick it at the bottom for the last squat clean, got too low and have no capacity right now to get up again.

the 5 sets was actually good. I never really got into the lactic levels but was puffed after the row.

So Proud of my legs today, they were ready to squat! Even like doing front squats haha! Very Solid today, good speed under the bar and solid squats coming up! Maybe I could have done 123 for 3 last week!

B: picked 93# Wanted to be able to stay unbroken but still be heavy and not take 30sec. to stand one up! Very happy with my squats on this one they kicked ass! Maybe I woln't struggle with 6squat clean in a row at 95 anymore!

1:40/1:40/1:38/1:44/1:38
Had problems getting into the rower on the 4th one, feet got stuck. I did catch myself starting to slow down on the row after like 125ish m...really tried to make myself push after I nrealized I did that!

A: 135,145,155#. Cut it short, trying to fix some things but won't get help on it til tomorrow. Will re do.

1: 1.32, 1:28, 1:38, missed start button, 1:58
- 155#, 165#x4
first 3 sets were done on airdyne to 15 cals. Man those took everything from the quads, made me go to my "happy place"
- last 2 sets were with rower, tough to get into it but much easier on body compared to airdyne. That shit sucks.
- airdyne was 20m, rower was 40m away from rack

Ran out of time.

Got to see Dr. Randy Gregg yesterday. He wasn't willing to give me any of his 5 Stanley Cup rings or any of his family's Olympic medals, but he was willing to give me the gift of surgery. Apparently I actually tore my labrum 8 years ago and it has been misdiagnosed since, the 3 partial tears were recent and just put it over the top. No competing this year, but I will have a functional stable shoulder. So happy and excited.

Squat cleans felt stronger each set, and could have gone heavier.

FS were fast and UB. I tried to pick a weight were I wouldn't be taking too long to do it and I could work on speed.

The burpees and the row were pretty rough after the FS'. Hips felt tired.

This is Nate.

Did Again Faster wod 15 today. Felt good. Should have pushed harder but the set-up for the wod was interesting and I wasn't sure how the movements would compound; turns out they didn't really which left me plenty in the tank. Fun nonetheless. Representing Team OPT!!

May do the squat cleans in a bit depending on how I feel.

Happy birthday Coach!!! Looking forward to seeing you at the GG!
