Warm up & mobility A. 55,75,85 95,105,115 125F @ 90% B. Skipped C. 4:31 shspu 3/3/2, 5:08 shspu 3/2/F, 7:18 shspu 2/2/2/2, 6:10 shspu 2/2/2/2 Good learning experience. Came out too fast on rower, burpees steady but shspu are challenging for me anyway, but even more so after rowing and burpees. Adjusted my row on the last set and actually improved my time by over a minute. Optional session: Was doing “Games training” all weekend (Game of Thrones marathon seasons 1-6) Did a different kind of “Games Training” with Chery Brost today! EMOM every 2 for 30 min. 30 seconds… Read more »
