TD 17 & summer solstice

to kick-off the summer, HD and i split this morning's session into three parts: (1) tri-set for strength, (2) workout for time, and (3) light cardio on the bike.  having 3 days off the gym, we had differing views.  HD felt a little sluggish and thought he'd be weaker and my body felt generally rested, despite only having approximately 3 hours of sleep.  i was surprised that the 2nd phase of our session, the timed workout, took a lot out of me.  all in all, i felt that gains were still made.  side note:  you may or may not notice that the kettlebell we used is different.... that's right, we've upgraded from 25lbs to 50lbs... it was time to man up.

here is HD performing his warm-up set:

next, for time
rounds of 9-6-3
85lbs push jerk, pullups, 50lbs kettlebell swing

i'm not sure if i re-aggravated the injury to my left lat, cause it did hurt a little... however, right now it feels fine and is flexible.  only time will tell i guess.  i do think i have to get better range on my pullups and quit cheating myself.

results
HD: 3min 46sec     DV: 2min 18sec

like i said, the second phase really wore us out and we were glad to hit the bike for some light cardio.
