ICT 6

100 rope turns
5 clapping push-ups
8 medicine ball slams
10 lateral jumps over the medicine ball
30-60sec rest

-Fun circuit. Felt uncoordinated on the lateral jumps. Not sure if it was fatigue at the end of the circuit or simply the first time I have done them.
-Rope turns were sprint style of course but slowing towards the end.

Pike press x 10
Rest 90sec
3 rounds (14:20)

EIT 4

5 knee tucks
30ft crab walk
30ft bear crawl
13 rounds in 15min

-I need to get my ass out to a track then, start doing these on grass. The crawls seem like they are hard on the shoulders when done on concrete.
-I'm also thinking that the knee tucks are not nearly as taxing as a 50m sprint.

ICT 5

5 Burpees
5 Chinnies
5 Squats
5 Push-ups
18 rounds in 20min

-The last 5 push-ups were after the 20min mark
-Rested as necessary after each round
-Got the typical upper right ab cramp near round 13. Its 96F right now according to weather.com. That means its at least 100 in the garage and might explain the cramp.
-Pretty cool, 90 reps of each exercise. Feels good but I may take tomorrow morning off. This was a lot of volume before strength day.

ICT 4

5 Burpees
10 Lunges
15 Hindu squats
30-60sec rest
Repeat 5x (8:00min)
Then
3 Ring pull-ups
10, 8, 8, 6, 6 Power overs
5 Band high pulls (green band)
Rest as needed
Repeat 5x (8:30min)

-Got a little burn doing the hindu squats
-First time with power overs. I had some issues with my feet sliding. Socks seem to work best on the stall mat. Used the med ball at first but I think it gives too much and makes it a pain. Last two sets used a 32kg KB on its side which felt great. 6 is a good amount of reps for me. I attempted 8 on the last set but the last two were not explosive.
-High pull were easy. Consider sets of 10 next time.
-Overall good workout. The upper-body circuit was pretty leisurely though.

EIT #2

Based on Ross' EIT #2 and adapted for the garage

5 Burpees
5 Knee tucks
5 Plyo Push-ups
60 turns jump rope
Rest
x6
Then
Neck raises 25lb x 3s x 10r

-Set the watch to 8min and was able to get 6 circuits in.
-I need to find a decent field to do this outdoors.
-Knee tucks are hard but I think 50m sprints would be more metabolically challenging.
-A few notes about next time and not being a pussy. From now on timed challenges, as described in NG, will be for the full amount of time. It is bad enough I am cutting the reps in half. EIT #2 was originally designed for 15min and 10 reps of burpees/plyo-pu's. This is not only about wussing out this is about keeping track of results. 7 more min out of my life ain't shit.

Power clean and push-press 160lbs x 3, 115 x 3, 130 x3, 140 x 3s x 3r
Ring pull-ups x 3, 5, 5, 4
Then

And then
Rope 6x 1min, 30sec rest

-A lot of C&Ps were more like power cleans and jerks. Separate the two next time and work on the PP part. Wrists were feeling it. I think I lost some flexibility.
-KTEs are hard.
-Didn't time this one.

Deck of Cards

Ross' ICT #3 with reps divided by two. E.g. Aces had a value of 6, face cards 5, numbered cards were divided by two to get their value. Burpees for red cards and Push-ups for black.
Time = 18:50
Neck Iso's
-All burpees done without a push-up at the bottom.
-Tough but not super intense. There was a lot of checking the cards with the reps halved. Possibly just use half a deck next time.
-Working through the entire deck must be hell. I'll be there in a few months.
