Thursday's Workout

  • 5min rope (easy)
  • 30sec rope (sprint) / 90sec rope (easy) x4
  • 5min rope (easy)
-Adjusting to new rope. Only fucked up a couple times.
-Fairly taxing. I need to get better with rope sprints to push myself harder. Skill is more of limiting factor than fatigue. Although, fatigue is a factor in skill.

A. Neck curls 17.5lbs x 3s x 15r
B. Twit yo wrist 10lbs 3s x up, down, reverse
-Go to 20lbs for neck curls and 12.5 for wrist next time.

Friday's Workout

  • Burpees 10min (80r)
  • Pull-ups 10min (28r)
  • Rope 3min
-Took a minute or two rest between exercises.
-First time doing a timed set for burpees. I was doing 10 or 5 reps at the top of each minute. I'm sure I could eek out more but it was a pretty good workout.
-Did 2 or 3 reps on the top of each minute for pull-ups. I should experiment more with more reps per set and tapering down more to up my reps.

Monday's workout

  • Jump rope 20min
  • Neck curls 15lbs x 3s x 15r

-Rope work was varied. Mostly slow to medium with a couple sprints and attempts at double-unders. Although I felt sleepy before jumping my cardio felt really good.
-Neck curls were no prob. Adding a 2.5 plate next time. I need to be more consistent with the neck and ab work.
