Gotta Love Long Workouts on Mondays...

Back to 3 minutes REST this week in the 4 cycle met con workouts...how will this affect you???? Well, like always you should be pushing as hard as you can for each cycle of 3 or 4 minutes, no breaks for water, etc. until the rest interval and you should be aiming to be completing your reps continuously. After the last 6 weeks of these workouts with decreasing rest times your body is getting better at recovering so I would expect with 3 minutes rest this week that your work output will stay relatively consistent over each of the 4 cycles.

WOD

8 Box Jumps

6 Push Jerks 125 lbs / 85 lbs ( I did 80lbs for the first two rounds (less one lift) and 75lbs for the remaining lift and 2 rounds - Woo Hoo! Finally getting the weights up!)...Oh yeah - I was also stupid and did Push Presses instead of Push Jerks....nothing like working harder than you half to!

5 Pull ups

3 KB Swings 32 kg/ 24 (I have been using the 16k KB but today did the workout with the 20kg KB. THAT was hard. Good thing there were only 3 per round!)

3 Rounds

REST 3 MINUTES

4 CYCLES

Time: 31:13

Angus' Time: 25:24 (I had to let him beat me!)
