The Oracle of Apollo Snippets from the life of Apollo Lee

CrossFit Day 13

Today’s workout, like Sunday’s deadlifts, was technically impossible without an Olympic barbell weight set. Lacking that, I decided to do something. So, I got my dumbbells and kettlebells out, put each pair up on my shoulders, and attempted the back squat with progressively increasing, albeit very very light weight. While the real workout called for 3 reps per set, I decided to do ten. Back squats with a 53 pound kettlebell require balance.

My heart rate monitor lost my signal for a few moments, as well. It seems that losing weight means losing inches. You have to keep snugging up the strap. Oops.

My results: 6:05, 3:16 zone; HR: 156 avg, 179 max; 76 cal (that’s it?)
Weights: 2×10#, 2×15#, 1×35# (KB), 2×20#, 2×25#, 1×53# (KB), 2×30#
