Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for work. I hate working the weekend, and would rather do whatever it takes during the week to keep my Saturdays/Sundays free. Unfortunately I had to work this Saturday, and therefore had to stay in Brisbane, rather than heading home. I had been really looking forward to going back down South as well - next weekend hopefully!
One of the things I wanted to do in Sydney was to check out Keith's gym. Since I couldn't be there, I did the session myself. It was a modification of a mainsite WOD from this week (and July). The Crossfit North Manly version was as follows:
Back squat 40kg x 50 reps
5 rope climbs (I subbed 5 towel pullups for each climb - i.e. this round was 25 towel pullups)
Back squat 50kg x 40 reps
4 rope climbs
Back squat 60kg x 30 reps
3 rope climbs
Back squat 70kg x 20 reps
2 rope climbs
Back squat 80kg x 10 reps
1 rope climb
It took me 19:45. Good modification of the original workout. 50 squats @ 40kg is pretty hard, and towel pullups aren't anyone's favourite exercise. I'm happy with my squat technique, though could potentially get deeper when it gets heavy (for me, 80kg is heavy!).
I did 5 sets of toes-to-bar at the end (total of 60reps). I also warmed up with skipping. After a minute or so of frustration, I made a breakthrough! I changed the way I jumped and got 75 skips in a row!! I'm stoked - now just have to remember what I did!!
Annabel made a breakthrough as well today - she did 4 Crossfit workouts this week and is feeling much fitter. She also found out she's good at rope climbs! I cant wait to get down to the gym and check out her progress.
