CrossFit Day 83
Today’s workout was “Nasty Girls”, which I’d planned to do outside, but due to a suddent violent storm, I was indoors for this one. Last time, I did assisted pullups. This time, though, I decided to go for more of a challenge. I tossed a pair of 15 pound dumbbells into a backpack and decided to substitute the assigned muscle ups for weighted pushups and weighted dips. This should be quite a workout.
Three rounds for time:
- 50 squats
- 28 weighted pullups
- 28 weighted dips
- 10 dumbbell hang power cleans (2×35# DB)
This kicked my ass. The most difficult part by far was the weighted pushups. Not only is the backpack of rubber dumbbells awkward, but I’m also not endowed with superlative upper body strength. That’s sort of why I’m doing CrossFit. I had to subdivide the pushups into 3s (sometimes 4s), and as I got more and more tired, it was increasingly difficult to get myself to go all the way down. So, some of the pushups were half-assed. The dumbbell cleans went the fastest of any of the exercises, followed by the dips.
I am confident that I will be extremely sore tomorrow, after the 150 squats, 84 weighted pushups, 84 weighted dips, and 30 hang power cleans. That’s a lot of work for a very short period of time. Official time to completion was 28:00 flat. My goal was 30.
My results: 28:26, 15:52 zone (hard); HR: 158 avg, 184 max; 365 cal
