Quad Killer
>> Monday, August 16, 2010
Tomorrow will definitely be a rest day.
After the thrusters and ball pull-ups yesterday, I'm super sore today. Trying to warm-up before tonight's workout, it seemed to take forever. My upper half and lower half (that means my whole fricken body!) was stiff!
Tonight's workout was-
3 rounds
30 squat snatch reps 45#
30 wallballs 16# ball
I realized right away that there was no way I was doing that weight today. I had a total defeatist approach to today's workout. Even before we started and I was warming up with the 45# bar I was saying, "I can't do this today" and "I'm not going to be able to do this one."
Not sure what that was all about, but whatever. I scaled the workout which was smart for technical reasons. I think my squat snatches looked great- I was really proud of them and the movement felt much more comfortable than before. I think I love squat snatches by the way- they're so much fun!
Here's what I ended up doing-
3 rounds-
30 squat snatches 30#
30 wallballs 12#
Time = 21:09
I felt great until that last round. Ugh, it was a beast that sort of kicked my ass.
I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. My quads were already killing me from the thrusters yesterday and after the squat snatches AND wallballs tonight, I will definitely be hurting tomorrow.
On a good note- my eating was spot on today. I did great! I even turned down a Rootbeer Float Social that happened in our office at 3:00! Every DAY there is SOMETHING!
Until tomorrow,

I definitely would need a wagon to have someone cart me around after a workout like that!
Wow! what a workout! I would have enjoyed the rootbeer float after that! :)
