So much fun

Wow! What a fun workout! Ever since we turned our garage into a gym, we've had friends stop by now and again for a workout. We have our regulars, like Michael's co-worker who is also named Michael (and yes, he too goes by Michael and not Mike- talk about fricken confusing) but it's random on who stops by and on which days.

So some times like tonight we have a group of people all over on the same night! There were 4 guys in addition to Michael and I so 6 of us altogether. It was so much fun! I can't even begin to tell you!

First we did 5x5x5x5x5 reps of a front squat. I haven't done these in quite a while actually so I wasn't sure how much weight to do. The recommendation was 80% of your 1-rep max which I show to be 125# but that was all the way back in April 2009! Today I did-
65
77
80
95
105

The 105 wasn't easy but I might have been able to do 110 or even 115. I felt really strong tonight.

Then we did this workout:
Burpees reps/Kettlebell swings reps
10/1
9/2
8/3
7/4
6/5
5/6
4/7
3/8
2/9
1/10

I used the 35# kettlebell. My time was 9:17 which I was pretty proud of. Michael (my Michael) did it in 6:30 which is insane to me! Everyone was cheering each other on and really pushing each other. It was soooo much fun! I loved it!

Until tomorrow,
