Jumping on the road

Being on the road can be a challenge, especially when the hotel 'gym' isn't well equiped.  I'm slowly finding the hotels that at least have a pull-up bar, but they are  far and few between.

  Still fighting lingering effects of the cold which makes it hard to breath at times...

Five rounds of

- 20 Double Unders Jump Rope
- 10 Burpees

Time: 15:23

Walked 1/4 mile to cool the heart rate then practiced some jump rope for a few minutes (high knees and one legged)

Bearish Tuesday

Standard Warm-up

Bear Complex

I did a bit different.  I did decreasing sets as the cold is still kicking my butt.  Seven rounds with increasing weights and decreasing reps:

7 of 95#, 6 of 100#, 5 of 105#....  1 of 130#.

Hate being sick.  Had to break up all the sets into smaller reps except the 7 and the 1.

Hit the road today so it is back to full body weight workouts unless the hotel gym surprises me.  I'm taking a jump rope.  Hopefully the ceiling will be tall enough to get some double under practice.

Five Days of no posting

Saturday - Rest

Sunday -

Strength portion was a shoulder workout with push press. Peaked out at 145 for the day. Having to clean it into position makes it tougher.

Then I did
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of Squats, Sit-ups, and Push-ups for a quick metcon. Time: 4:54.

Monday - LAZY ASS

Tuesday -

Reps of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of

1 1/2 body weight deadlifts
Push-ups
Squats

My one rep max on Deadlifts is only 300#. My 1 1/2 body weight is 280#. No way I was getting 55 total reps at 280# so I did mine at 225#. I still had to break up the sets from 10 to 7 into two groups.

Time was 15:23

Wednesday on the road -

5 rounds for time of

10 x [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELFch5g8B9E"]Dumbbell Squat Clean and Thruster (Clusters)[/URL]

Jack

"Jack"
10 x 95# Push Press
10 x 50# Kettlebell Swings
10 X 24" Box Jumps
Repeat for as many rounds in 20 mins:
Finished six full rounds w/ 2 seconds to spare.
95# gets heavy after awhile.  It was suppose to be 115#, but after a test run, I knew that would be too heavy in the long run.
