Garage: Squeeze in a quick one

I had a brief window to get in a workout.

Four rounds:
5 pull-ups
10 T-BAG squats (approx 80lb)
50 double unders

9:02


Later in the day, I went and moved a bunch of lumber for my father-in-law's new fence.  I didn't time it or weigh it, but it was at least an hour's worth of work.

Garage: Skipping sprints

The Boy and I took turns skipping.

He would do 50 single skips, then I would do 50 double unders.

We did four rounds each, then my daughter and her friends tried to get in on the action, so it kind of dissolved.

I did a few more big sets of DUs,   I tried to break 100 consecutively, but only got up to 60-something or 80-something.

Basement VolkeFit WOD

Steve prescribed this WOD back on his off-day June 3, but I did something else.   I wanted to do it at some point.

A. Row 1km, then do 50 push-ups

Took me 6:53


B. Ride the AirDyne at 95% for 24 seconds x 5 - rest as needed between.

HOLY SHIT THIS SUCKED BALLS.

Actual text exchange with Steve:

T: "It will take me a while to forgive you.  Those fucking AD sprints."

S: "I'm doing this for you because I care.  Was it that bad?"

T: "The only problem is the stairs in my house."

S: "Have the kids bring you food and water and stay downstairs."


Yeah, right.  If I let them see me in that condition, it would have meant years of therapy.

Garage: THE T-BAG!

Wife got me a sandbag for Christmas.  It's looks like a duffel bag, but it's got bags inside that you fill with sand, making it adjustable in weight.  When it's completely full, it's awkward/heavy as fuck. I love it.

For the purposes of this blog, I'm calling it the T-BAG.  All caps only.  If you try spelling it without the all caps, you are dead to me.  DEAD.

10 minute EMOM

3 T-BAG clean and jerks
5 knee raises  (bring those knees to your chest, if you're not gonna go to your elbows)

This was actually hard.  I almost didn't finish by the last two minutes.  And I didn't have T-BAG completely full, as I had to take out two of the bladders.  I'm gonna guess it was under 100lbs.
