CrossFit Day 59
Today’s workout handed my ass to me. I thought I could do it indoors, where it’s nice and warm, but after smacking myself in the head with the door bar, I packed everything up and headed to the park. Here’s on today’s agenda:
Five rounds for time of:
- 15 dumbbell bench presses
- 15 pullups
- 15 pushups
- 15 chair dips
I started out and completed a set of presses from the floor with my 30 pound dumbbells, followed through with the other three exercises of the round, and started on the second round. I finished the presses, although it was a struggle, and got through 11 pullups when the bar slid and gave me a reality check.
I paused the clock, weighed my options, and bundled up. I grabbed the 25 pound dumbbells and drove over to the park with the benches next to the pullup bar. I decided to start at set #2, instead of in the middle of that incomplete second set. Thus, I ended up with extras. Extras are good, right?
After about 20 minutes, I was finished with the four new sets. As I got more and more tired, it was a real challenge to avoid dropping dumbbells on my crotch or my face. But, eventually, I persevered, although I can’t say that I won. Even though I did more reps than last time, I did the workout lighter this time. The dumbbells I used for the benches were lighter and my bodyweight is 13.5 pounds lower. I should have had better numbers. Ah, well. I’ll do better next time.
My results: 31:14, 11:31 zone (hard); HR: 141 avg, 163 max; 334 cal
