Chronicles of a sick old guy 9-25-12

Hooked up with new kicks from Evolv!

Well I went into the weekend with what I thought was allergies and rolled straight into a head cold. Nothing worse then laying around in bed on your time off. Of course stupid me I have to stay on my program, so I decide Monday while still feeling pretty low to go to SPI and grind through the day’s workout.

Here was the PIT program:

MONDAY 9-24-12
Round 1

*500m row
3 rds…
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 front squats

Round 2

*400m run
3 rds…
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 front squats

Round 3

*500m row
3 rds…
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 front squats
*400m run

So I come out of the gate well, but the heat and the illness got the best of me. I finished round two and go into the second row and then completely bonk, so bad that it took me several rest breaks just to finish the 500m. I almost fainted from the heat and the cold. For those that know me, you know 500 or even 5000m is really not an issue. That was how bad I felt. I tried to fake it and get through it, but it was too much too soon.

That was Monday and I live to train another day. Today I am still reeling a bit from the cold and Monday’s bonk, but I hate rest so I choose to push on. Today I decide to do my own workout. I think it was a good one. Try it out if you find it interesting.

Tuesday’s workout:

Five rounds

100 touches jump rope
10 inverted rows on the Smith machine I also mixed in pulling up and letting go of the bar each time, making me catch the bar on the decent. Almost like a reverse campus move on a roof. I did this with my feet elevated in order to maintain my body posture and engage my core.
One muscle up into five pull ups with out leaving the bar
Twenty sledge hammer swings (16lbs sledge) 10 each arm.

I followed this with Tabata can openers for my core.

Tomorrow I plan on climbing, but I need to make sure my boss at home gives me clearance.

I hope you are all getting out there in the rock or in the gym. See you all in Bishop this winter!
