How you get eaten up, chewed to pieces and pooped out in 1 hour.

I think Björn hates me, or whomever of him or Martin that wrote the last 2 days of workouts. Today was a new experience, for sure.

First:
Kettlebell (or dumbbell) press, push press, push jerk.

Do 3x3 press, 3x5 push press and 5x5 push jerk. (on each arm)

then:
Rope climb 4.2 meters (use your feet). 3 times.

Then, metcon:

3 rounds of
10xpushup+kickup (one pushup, one kickup, repeat 10 times)
10xOH 1h weight, lunge. (5 with left hand / right leg, 5 with right hand / left leg).
20xPull-up.

Results:
Started the press with 24 kg's. Then did the push-press with 24 kg's. Raised Push-jerks to 32 kg's. Felt like I could do the push-presses with 32 kg, so I did a 5 with each arm, 32 kg's push-press. My shoulders were burning at this point. All the presses were done with a few starters to warm up technique. I don't think I've ever push-pressed 32 kg kettlebells before. I feel like being close on doing presses with them.

The metcon: 9:26 or 9:36 or something. The oh-lunges was done with 24 kg kettlebells and it put strains on my shoulders that were quite the new experience. In the second round I couldn't press and barely push-press the 24 kg to position. I even failed the first attempt on my lunge just because my shoulder couldn't keep up with it. The pullups went a lot better than expected. Now I've done 130 pullups the last 2 days. I would be pretty furious if they didn't improve.

Maybe I should take a rest day tomorrow, or maybe I should just go on like I should. Like the machine I want to be.

Burpee Helene

So my trainer Björn pulled me through these things today:

Training on progress -> muscle ups. I ripped my skin on my wrists during that.
Training on hand strength, both from hanging on the bar (pullups) and by climbing ropes. The latter hurt like hell. Today, I noticed that their bar is much thicker than the ones I'm used to - which causes me to do a lot worse on pullups than I should be.

Workout: "Burpee Helene"
20 burpee's
21 swings (24 kg kettlebell)
12 pull-ups.
3 rounds.
Time: 12:30.

I'm not at all satisfied with my time. My pull-ups were really bad today partly because I had been working out the hands so my grip was already crap from the beginning, and partly I blame it on the thick bar. I had to split them as 6/6, 4/4/4, 3/2/1/1/1/1/1/1/1. This dragged out the time like hell. Oh well, it was a fun training anyway. Hopefully my pullups will be a lot better at the xfit gym after this attempt to murder my hands.
