Another Doozie
3 rounds of 15reps 55# turkish get-up windmills, 15reps 55# dumbells lunges, 25 dips. Time: 23:05
This workout seems like it shouldn’t take that long but the stupid get-up mills smoke the dog piss out of you. I didn’t take too many breaks, and I was surprised to see my finishing time. It didn’t seem like i was doing it for that long. I felt good pushing through. I wanted to take some breaks, but my workout partner is obsessed with trying to beat me and well i wasn’t about to let him. I thought he was going to take a break here and there but he’d start his next getup almost immediately. It’s crazy how a little competitiveness will make you do so much more. I was rolling on the floor laughing at one point when he was in the standing part of the getup about to start the windmill and his arm kind of collapsed and the dumbell glanced off his face and hit the floor. He was okay and laughing too so it’s all good.
Bodybuilding work out for the day went as follows:
4 sets of superset of 10 reps 100# dumbells shrugs with 10 reps 65# preacher curls.
4 sets of superset of 10 reps 50# dumbells standing shoulder press and 20 reps 20 # dumbells lateral raises.
Finished with 3 sets of the triplet: 25 glute-ham-situps, 25 leglifts, 25 pushups.
Easy bodybuilding workout as usual. I barely broke a sweat. I still like doing the traditional bodybuilding workouts, but i definitely don’t get my biggest results from doing it. I think doing the extra few pumps during the bodybuilding portion may help with my crossfit workouts. Some of my times have gotten better since i started doing it. Don’t get me wrong though…when i first started crossfit i wouldn’t dare do anything extra over the workout of the day, but it just doesn’t seem like i’m doing enough with just the WOD. Crossfit is super demanding, and hard especially when you’re starting out.
