TD 30

welcome to august!  we are half way to TM tri-state!  we split up our workout into three parts this morning: (1) superset, (2) AMRAP, and (3) a 250m swim.  challenging, but not too much of a butt-kicker to start the week.  we'll probably peak on wednesday or thursday in order to  rest up for the Are You Fit Challenge.  not gonna lie, haha, i'm pretty scared for sunday's challenge, but i'm sure the hard work & training will pay off.

superset
military press - 12 reps/95lbs, 4 reps/155lbs, 7 reps/135lbs
kettlebell swings - 15 reps/25lbs, 15 reps/25lbs, 15 reps/25lbs

AMRAP - 9min
12 dips
9 overhead squats (65lbs)
12 box jumps

here is my AMRAP in its entirety:

as you can see, i got pretty delirious toward the end... haha almost face planting on my 6th or 7th round of dips... i have to go lower on do the full range of motion on them... it seems like i'm only doing that toward the 11th or 12th rep.  i am actually happy with the depth of my squats in the beginning and will continue to work on it... and i have to stop cheating on the box jumps.  the first 2 rounds felts good, but then after the third, i hit a wall.  i love AMRAPs because you dictate how hard you work and if your lungs aren't burning at the end, you know that you cheated yourself.

results
HD: 5 rounds + 12 dips
DV: 6 rounds + 12 dips, + 9 overhead squats, + 4 box jumps

swim
worked on technique and strokes for 250m = 5 x 50m

i have a few softball games lined up for this week: one tomorrow night and a doubleheader on wednesday.  i also have a basketball game for thursday night.  will try to squeeze in some basketball drills tomorrow morning with HD... i usually do the programming at the beginning of the week, but i'm going to play it by ear for this week...

still looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.
