CrossFit Day 106

Today’s workout was “Lynne.” Since I don’t have a barbell, a bench, or a pullup bar (I messed mine up the other day in a seething rage that saw its untimely demise), I’m swapping it out with a pair of exercises similar to those assigned. The workout I completed was actually the second attempt at a similar workout today (the first of which was the one that saw me throwing my pullup bar out the door).

“Soft Lynne”: Five rounds for time:

  1. 10 pushups
  2. 10 push presses (2×35# DB)

I thought, for some reason, that my push press times would be similar to my pushup times. Push presses are dramatically more difficult than pushups. My pushup rounds started out fast and, as the dumbbells sapped my strength, got noticeably slower. I should use this as a warmup when I get stronger.

Rounds

  1. PU 1: 00:18.05 – 00:18.05
  2. PP 1: 01:02.00 – 01:20.05
  3. PU 2: 00:34.51 – 01:54.56
  4. PP 2: 02:04.49 – 03:59.05
  5. PU 3: 01:02.68 – 05:01.73
  6. PP 3: 02:26.21 – 07:27.94
  7. PU 4: 01:34.81 – 09:02.75
  8. PP 4: 02:50.43 – 11:53.18
  9. PU 5: 01:05.63 – 12:58.81
  10. PP 5: 02:47.94 – 15:46.75
