CrossFit Day 37
Today’s workout was impossible without a barbell set, but it wasn’t too difficult to substitute something I can do with the equipment I have. So, this is what I did:
Ten rounds (tapered sets from 10 to 1) for time: dumbbell back squats (2 × 30 pound dumbbells).
I did two reps in my sun room watching my reflection and noticing that I didn’t go down all the way in either one. I was being really lazy, having difficulty positioning the weights on my shoulders without either smacking myself in the jaw or crushing my thumbs, and getting entirely too comfortable inside. So, I took the dumbbells outside on the back porch (or whatever we call that concrete pad) in the 50° (F) evening chill and started knocking out the sets.
Mental Note: Olympic and powerlifting exercises fail (or suck) if we roll our weight forward on our toes.
My results: 11:30, 7:38 zone (hard); HR: 154 avg, 174 max; 149 cal
