Medicine balls. Why'd it have to be
medicine balls?
But first:
- Overhead Squats (5-5-5-3-3)
These felt great this morning. It's been a few months since we last practiced overhead squats, but I felt strong and stable through my midline. I kept it light and easy today, but I'm hoping to establish a new PR later in this cycle.
Metcon:
- 50 double unders
- 21 wallball shots
- 21 medicine ball cleans
- 21 medicine ball sit-ups
- 15 wallball shots
- 15 medicine ball cleans
- 15 medicine ball sit-ups
- 9 wallball shots
- 9 medicine ball cleans
- 9 medicine ball sit-ups
- 50 double unders
The first set of double-unders flew by. The final set? Not so much. And in between, the wallballs kicked the snot out of me. I wasn't bothered by the med ball sit-ups, but the cleans were tougher than I expected -- probably because I was still reeling from the wallballs.
It's a good reminder that something as simple as a stuffed ball can be a brutally effective training tool.
Result: 11:42 as RXed.
