morning mini-WOD:
5rft 10 bench dips (butt to ground), 10 air squats.
4:05 rx
this afternoon my mom has volunteered again to be my barbell weight for 10-10-10 backsquat. Maybe I’ll do another mini-WOD after, just for kicks. 😀
Also, anyone have any good swim WODs to throw at me for this weekend? I’ll have access to a pool and the only good wod I can think of is the mainsite one a while back that was 5rft swim 50m, 25 pushups. I’m a HORRIBLE swimmer, but I figure I’ll use the pool while I have it.
Maybe try alternating 50 m or 100 m swims with some hollow rocks so that you are ingraining a similar position.
Another WOD could be: swim 50 m while counting strokes, then get out and do that many strokes of push-ups, squats, etc.
like Chris said with the hallow rocks. when the swim team practices at AFC they are always doing core stuff in between laps (i.e. regular situps, V-situps w/ medicine ball etc.)
Core work — I love it! Thanks, guys. I think I will definitely implement hollow rocks into the WOD (or WODs… I’m there both Saturday AND Sunday)! BTW, further suggestions are still welcome! Even tips on how to swim more efficiently.
Meanwhile, afternoon strength stuff:
Back Squat10-10-10: my mom (65kg)
Max reps (strict) HSPUs x3: 5, 8, 10 (a PR, but my hands got ridiculously wide there at the end so I don’t know if it really counts)
BS (sub for DL) – 2 sets of 3 @ 223, 2 sets of 3 at 245, last set at 275 x 5.
9:55 can’t call it RX because I think I may have re-bent my knees a few times through out. However RX weight @ 145#
DL: sets of 5, 89/111/133 (still taking it easy and slowly working back up, thanks landon for the form work)
WOD: 10:05 Rx @ 111 need to do this one again when my legs aren’t worn out.
