Got to keep attacking my weakness, moving my 6'3 frame around and trying to attack hard bodyweight routines. Crossfit has a classic workout called barbara, the difference between that and my version is I took out the rests, there version is after each round you rest 3 minutes, I went straight through. Whichever version is harder I don't know but that does mean I'm in a for a long workout, and I was.
5 Rounds for time
20 Kipping Pullups
30 Pushups
40 Situps (feet anchored)
50 Squats
Time: 39:41
This was done in my clients basement, there pullup bar is rectangle and I could tell right away that it made the pullups harder as it's harder to hold onto, but even with a slightly more difficult pullup it wasn't too terrible, mainly because they only came in sets of 20. The pushups were the easiet, always broken into 20 and 10 each round. The situps were the hardest for me, partly because my abs are a weak point at situps and what not. The squats weren't too bad as an exercise but were the second hardest because of the volume of them. 100 pullups, 150 pushups, 200 situps and 250 squats.....or 700 reps was tough, but needed to rid my weakness at bodyweight movements.....I do actually enjoy them a little.
Done in your client's basement? I hope you had permission and weren't doing some weird stalker thing. Should I be worried?
ReplyDeletehah no i was house sitting for them....well dog sitting, freakin dog wanted to play when I was doing the situps.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't you have worked the dog into a metcon? Depending on its size you could do overhead squats holding the dog. I hate cats, so I'd love to do wall balls with one.
