Week 3, day 4: “A Lethal Combo” aka A test of Sprints and Strength

Front squats and then four sets of Sprints of 200m and 12 box steps. FOUR SETS. I like how clearly you can see them on my heart rate chart. These were hard, even though my idea of running is fast … Continue reading

In the past four weeks this makes my 20th workout. I’m pretty pleased with myself for keeping this up. Before signing up for this workout routine I had no idea what AMRAP meant, but now I know it means whatever … Continue reading

Week 4, day 1: all the fucking cardio

Today was a ton of cardio. Not. Dead. Yet. So much “running” in this working, but I did it all. Granted my running is more like fast shambling, but the fact that I can even shamble with my shitty lungs … Continue reading

Week 3, day 5: Not an April Fools joke

When I looked at the workout for today, I thought there was no way I was going to be able to do it. I was tired, this would be technically my sixth workout in a row and I just couldn’t … Continue reading

Week 3, day 2: OH MY FUCKING QUADS

This workout was what I would call “muscle-based”, lots of weights to be lifted with not so much body weight exercises or tons of cardio. My barbell weight capacity is still low: 20# for overhead press, but I’m keeping the … Continue reading

Week 3, day one: I didn’t give up.

Today’s workout was really hard. The warm up alone had 50 mountain climbers, 40 squats, 30 sit ups, 20 shoulder taps and and I managed 3/10 modified burpees. Then I was supposed to alternate run and walk a mile.. I … Continue reading
