Physical Freedom 3/365 - 20220105

Today was good! A solid dose of strength, followed by some conditioning, in the form of grunt work!

Warm-Up

I did a few dozen band pull-aparts (I don't count, just go till I feel sick, then do a few more), and then around 5 minutes swinging a mace in all different ways.

Strict Press

7x2

Barbell weight + a 16kg kettlebell suspended from each end of the bar on bands. Total weights for each set were; 52, 62, 57x5

3 Rounds

6 Dumbbell Bench Press, 30 degree incline, 30-37.5kg

8 Incline Bench Dumbbell Rows 22.5kg

20 Minute AMRAP:

20 Thrusters 20kg

22 Burpees

I got 7 complete rounds, and 3 burpees into the 8th.

The workout was the first one I gave to members when we reopened for the new year. Whilst it didn't fit perfectly with my programming, it was the right time domain, loading, and skill level that I needed today. I tried to nasal breathe s much as possible, although in honesty this was maybe 30-40% of the time, and tried to rest as little as possible. The workout did what it was designed to do.
