It’s been nice getting back into a routine of gym life… Seeing people I haven’t seen in a bit! So far it has been working to get to work on time. Though I can’t always demand the first shower and today 4 of us needed it. I’m going to keep going until it becomes an issue!

Today’s workout was a doozy. We did 8 minutes of handstand work. I’m getting so close to kicking up. I did 3 or 4 attempts each minute. On one or two attempts I almost got it.

We then did pause Deadlifts. It was 3 reps every minute with a 3 second pause just below the knee (pretty much hang position). It wasn’t easy to maintain form even at 135#s. I did one at 155 and decided that was too much for this workout.

The MetCon was what really got me. It was a chipper style with 15 reps each of 4 movements. But at the beginning of every minute you had to do 4 burpees over bar. So really the goal was the least number of burpees possible! Oh, the movements were Power Snatch, Overhead Squat, Squat Clean, and Front Squats. I used 65# on the bar which was a good working weight to not get bogged down on any movement with. Though I didn’t get good depth on the overhead squats. At go we did 4 burpees and I went super quick on them and got 11 snatches done before more burpees! Then it became a slower grind through the rest of the work. I can’t remember each set but I know that I got like 12 or 13 front squats done in the last minute because I didn’t want to do anymore burpees! I finished in 8:58.

Like I said that was a good one!
