2 Super Hard workouts

Tuesday, August 5th

Pam, Rhea, Davida and Me were the only ones present for KB class. Although we did not do our famous 1,000 rep workout we did manage to make it to 1,000 reps in the class. Here is what we did:

25 cleans per arm with an alternating swing in between. (clean right, alternating swing, clean left alternating swing, clean right etc....) This prodcuces 100 reps.

We did the same protocol with clean and press and snatches.
1 round = 300 reps.
We did 3 rounds to = 900 reps, then finished with 100 swings.

The cool thing is that when I first wrote this workout we only did 15 reps per set and it about killed us. Last night with the 25 reps no one was that worn out. I was impressed. I used a 12 kg. This is a good workout because switching arms after each rep does allow you to do the volume without being totally torched.

Wednesday, August 6

We did everything using a standard 45 lb. straight bar.

Decline Bench
Flat Bench
Rack Shoulder press
Incline Bench

10 reps each, 11 reps each, 12 reps each....to 20 reps each.

And that was all. Sound easy, you try it. I was blistered.

Yoga note:
I took Yin Yoga on Monday and was struck with one of the worst Tension headaches right in the middle of class. I made it through by doing alternate versions of some poses but I was nauseated and everything. That has never happened to me before but I was worn out. Prior to class I took what was supposed to be a 30 min nap but lasted for 2 hours and then after class I laid down to let me headache subside and slept another 1 1/2 hours. Got up for an hour and ate supper then was back in bed at 9 pm. Do ya think I need to rest????
