Home-training

So I worked out some at home today. Didn't work out on friday, work was too buzy and saturday was all booked up. I was actually planning on working out on friday when I got home, but I was home at 23:30 sigh.

Anyways, today I just had to do something. I was hoping I could get a good workout at home but I'm not sure I did.

Warmup / workout:
4 rounds of:
25 squats with 20 kg vest.
AMRAP pullups with 20kg vest.

10 TGU's (5 each arm) for time
5 ring-pushups
5 ring-dips
20 KB high-swings
20 KB snatch
10 inclined ring-pushups.

I'm not sure what I was going to do, so I just improvised.
Results:
The first round was actually 30 kg vest but I lowered it since I could only do 1 pullup with it. The 3 remaining rounds were 4-3-3 on pullups. The TGU's went through in 4:53 - I really don't like doing TGU's with KB's. It hurts my lower arms in a way I don't like (not in a good way in other words). I know now not to underestimate KB high-swings/snatches. They're really rough on the O2. Inclined ring-pushups was fun, just to try :)

PR comes and it droppa de bombs!

Today was another awesome day at the crossfit gym! Today we started out with some ring-dips with slowly going down and trying to explode to get to the top position. I'm not really strong enough to get those explosive... yet!

Workout:
3 rounds of:
20 high-swings (24 kg kb)
20 frontsquats (24 kg kb)
20 burpee's

Old result 12:53 (I think, not 100% sure on exact time).
Results: 11:19 (PR!)... I'm not exactly 100% sure about this time either, they could be a few seconds off. I'm certain that I improved by more than one and a half minute. That means that I've improved like 12-13% in the last 2 months. It felt good, I pushed myself hard and even though I really needed to go to the bathroom I could get it all through. A few seconds extra rest here to focus on clearing the other "needs" but I don't think my results would have been noticably different if I have had no worries to think about.

We rounded off with 3x maxrep strict pullups.
Results: 11 - 7 - 5. Not completely satisfied with these results. I should probably be able to pull 15 as a top-rep on these. Going to add some extra strict pull-ups during next week to compensate for those.
