Monday, November 8 'KB/WBS/pull-ups'

This was another great session that CFHQ threw our way. A few people recognized this little gem as we have seen it before. Only the rep scheme was different. This is a potent triplet that leaves us totally gassed by the end. The plan was to go unbroken as long as possible. The plan fell apart early....

Three rounds:
30 KB swings
25 WBS
20 pull-ups

Eric- Rx  15:36
Dustin- Rx  17:03
LaRunda- 30 (2)  20:00
Tammy- 35  20:55
David- 35  14:45
Bart- Rx  16:50
Matt- 35  17:45
Scott- 35 (2)  10:33
Todd- Rx  15:02
Sharon- 35  19:19
Emilee- 35  19:05
Lisa- 30  11:44
Casey- Rx  16:06
T- Rx  13:30

Great session everyone. How about those wall balls? Any better? If not, no worries, we'll see them in the future and you will have plenty of opportunities to embrace them. The prescribed weight was 1.5 pood, or a 53 pound kettlebell. The guys all went with a 20# med ball, the girls used the 16# for the WBS.

When did you catch your breath on this one? Did you have to take any big walks away? The longer the rest, the more difficult it is to get going again. Short rests, like the ones we get moving from one exercise to the next are usually sufficient to keep us from taking that long walk, but not all the time. How you rest, and when you rest determines how comfortable you are and is determined by how comfortable you are. Don't look for recovery, or anything near it. Instead, take as short a rest as possible (:10 seconds or less) and keep moving. Rest just long enough to let your HR drop a bit, and get a few nice deep breaths. You will feel the urge to stop much less frequently by pushing past this uncomfortable feeling.

Tuesday is next. Don't miss it. Thanks for the great efforts, the great fuel.
