Workout 13, Tue 26th 7:30pm
Had a health screen today, so got weight and height measured. 150kgs on the nose at 6ft 3.5 inches. A little scary. Usual blah, blah during the physical about how I'm carrying the wealth well and am in good mechanical nick, but the message is consistently 'lose weight, lose weight, lose weight'. Fingers crossed bloods come back okay and I haven't started to make a change too late!
Warmup
Walk to the gym, foam rolling
Stretches
Strength Movement
High Bar Back Squat
5 @ bar
5 @ 60kgs
5 @ 65kgs
3 @ 67.5kgs
3 @ 72.5kgs
3 x 2 @ 75kgs
Need to work on keeping my chin up and weight on the heels, particularly at the bottom of the movement. Coach noticed a little knee cave on the second last set.
Metcon
50 Burpees
20 Front Squats @ 70% (I was told to use 40kgs)
50 Burpees
15 minute cap with proviso that A) you would take a full minute rest at the end of the first 50 Burpees and B) at the 12 minute mark you would finish up squatting if you hadn't already finished and go back to Burpees
Got:
50 Burpees
11 Front Squats
20 Burpees
done in the 15 minutes. Hard work but a very enjoyable session overall.
