Ugh...Burpees
This was not motivation to get out of bed today. But I'm committed if nothing else, so I dragged my butt out of bed and went and got after it!
For time:
50 Chest to bar pull-ups
50 Burpees
My time: 13:30, PR by 1:09
Now, I did not do this "Rx" (no chest to bar for me these days). But I willingly did all 50 kipping pull ups. The closer I got to the end of the pull ups, the more I dreaded the burpees. Ha! But there was no avoiding them. They took me forever. Or it felt like eternity while I was in the middle of them. Something about making it to 30 inspired me a little and I just kept pushing. Of course, I was last to finish, I mean, Hello - it's burpees and pull ups! Anyway, it felt good to finish the whole thing. Glad to have that done!
Strength was a 20 rep back squat. Now, I've looked back on my records and see where I've done a 20 rep back squat at 135#. I don't have a date recorded for it. I'm certain it was at the old gym, though, so it's been a good long while ago. I went with 115 today and felt like it was a pretty good effort; all nice and deep, but still pretty taxing by the end.
