Uncomfortable zone, suffering, pain... and all of that.

I haven't done a workout like this one in a long time. This will also be my last blog on there-is-no-shortcut.blogspot.com. From now on I will put my blogs up on www.crossfituppsala.se, in swedish.

Workout (courtesy of GymJones.com):
1
10x Hang Squat Clean @ 50% 1RM +
2:00 minute AirDyne (15sec @ 100rpm/15sec @ 70rpm) +
2:00 minute Rest
Three Rounds
Then:
5 minute intermission (including 3rd-2min rest period above)

2
5x Two Handed KB Clean +
5x Two Handed KB Jerk +
2:00 minute Ski Erg @ >500m pace +
2:00 minute Rest
Three Rounds
Then:
5 minute intermission (including 3rd-2min rest period above)

3
8x Pull-up +
8x Push-up +
8x KB Swing @ 53# +
8x DB Push Press @ 2 x 25# +
8x KTE +
8x Pull-up
Three sets, Rest one minute between each

Results:
1: Hang Squat Clean @ 50 kg.
Did CrossTrainer instead of AirDyne. I'm not sure what I kept up but it was something like 40 kcal / lap.

2: Kb Clean/Jerk @ 20 kg per Dumbbell (did DB instead of KB). Rowing instead of Ski Erg. I did 1m30s instead of 2 minutes. Results were 440/430/440 meters.

3: I removed the first 8 of the pullups (after the first round). My time was running short and my body was not very happy with me. Pullups and KTE's were done at singles.

Every round pushed me to a place where I didn't want to stay for long. People gave me weird looks at the gym, etc. The Crosstrainer brought me to the brink of being able to stand and the rowing machine took it one step further. As I entered into the final part of the workout, I was experiencing issues with continuing at all... which is why I lowered the amount of pull-ups. I haven't felt this broken in a very long time.

Time: 41 minutes... something. I didn't care to stop the watch when I was done, I just had to rest.

Simon.
