TD 33

this morning, HD and i took it easy a bit because i had a basketball game in the evening and plus we had to taper off in order to be some sort of fresh for the Are You Fit Challenge on sunday.  we split our workout into 3 parts: (1) basketball drills, (2) quad set, and (3) tabata on the treadmill...  a pretty easy, in and out morning.

warmup
it was the same drill as yesterday, but instead of 10 shots at each spot, we only took 5... totaling 50 shots in less than 5 minutes.  i didn't want to over do it before the game.

then:

i'm doing my 3rd set here:

i'm seriously thinking about hiring a coach to help me with my deadlifts.  when we did them with dumbbells yesterday, it was easy to work on my form.  granted the weight was a bit heavy for my size his morning, but i feel that i should still be able to keep my back straight and go all the way down.  i'm also considering going to the CrossFit Level I Course around the october time frame so that i could get tips and some formal education on fitness... i am always looking further to improve.  we shall see if october is a go, not set in stone yet... however, one of my goals is to attain the CF level I cert.

lastly, a tabata
treadmill @ 6.7mph, 12.0% incline

we felt really good after the tabata and concluded that the speed didn't really kill us because we took it pretty easy compared to our prior workouts....  so later on in the day, my basketball team ended up winning by double figures and i ended up scoring 8 points (2 layups, 2 jump shots) and had a few assists.  i'm starting to figure out my role with the team and what my game is about... great feeling.

in a few hours, HD and i are going to take it easy again and do some light treadmill work, probably some muay thai pad work, a couple calisthenics, and a swim to round it out... can't wait.
