Testing, testing

>> Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Tonight's workout was called Test 3 and it was the first time doing it.

Squat tabata (8 rounds of 20 seconds all out with only 10 seconds of rest between each round)
After the final 10 second rest, do 4 minutes of muscle-ups, as many as you can in that time.

Here's how I scored on my squats-
17
16
15
15
15
15
14
14

Not my best squat tabata numbers but I did squats and rowed yesterday and went rollerblading earlier, so I think my legs were pretty fatigued already.

Then I did modified (sitting) muscle-ups for 4 minutes and really focused on control and doing the dip portion perfectly. I completed 25 of them in the 4 minutes (the first 5 or so were killer from the tabata squats, I was breathing hard!)

So my total "score" for Test 3 is 14 (lowest tabata score) x 25 or 350. Since I did modified muscle ups though, for my own purposes, I'm going to give myself a score of 175 (half).

I had today off from work which was so needed. I spent the morning at a coffee shop down the street from me where I finished a fiction book and also my CrossFit training manual for this weekend's certification. I came home just in time to have lunch with my husband then spent the afternoon being a total bum! I'm working Thursday (and have a very busy day) but then I have Friday off b/c we're driving to Laguna Hills, CA! I'm so excited!

Until tomorrow,

Glad you were able to enjoy a day away from work. Sounds like it was just what you needed!

I'm so glad you got the day off of work! I sometimes envy your days off - with working for yourself most the time taking a "day off" rarely feels like it. It's a weird mental thing.

How nice to have a day off work like that! Enjoy your trip to Cali!
