Mediocre Runners

Tabata Hell that is.  Ok I did workout at Diesel on Monday and Tuesday.  Those WODs were great:

Deadlift 15 (#225-M, #165-W)
Ropeclimb 5
Deadlift 12
Ropeclimb 4
Deadlift 9
Ropeclimb 3
Deadlift 6
Ropeclimb 2
Deadlift 3
Ropeclimb 1

I deadlifted #170, scaled the rope climb, and finished in 17:45.

Tuesday’s WOD:

Push Press 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps. I had a first set of 85 and maxed out at 120 on the last set.  I did try and 8th set at 125 but could only get 1 out.  Ah well…next time right.  I’m not stud.  I know my place.

Ok for today’s WOD was Tabata Hell.  Tabata intervals are 8 rounds of 20 sec all out followed by 10 sec of rest.  The “all out” is what really gets you, esp around set 5-7.  Here’s how Tabata Hell played out (with the number of reps for each set listed after):

• Squats (rest at bottom): 19 20 20 19 19 18 18 18
• Push-ups (rest locked out at top for half of sets): 16 10 9 8 6 8 8 8
• Med Ball Cleans @ 18#: 11 12 11 11 11 11 11 12
• Sit-up: 18 16 16 16 15 14 15 16
• KB Swing @ 45#: 12 8 8 8 8 8 7 7

I couldn’t have been more dead at the end of this.  I will say my very first CF WOD at Diesel, in the beginning of May, was tabata squats where I did 15/17 (low/high), but I did not do active rest nor could I move after the 8th set.  CF must be doing something!  Ok, I think I’ll go lay down now.
