Felt pretty good last night. I think I really enjoy doing straightforward strength work, and I haven't gotten a chance to do it in awhile. Was a nice break from the looooooong metcon stuff we've been doing as of late.
5x5 push press (same weight across the five sets). Strict presses, no help from the legs. Used the 45 lb bar, 12.5 on each side. Last few reps were tough.
Then...
20-15-10-5
Sumo DL high pulls (65lbs, I technically did it at 63lbs since I used the womens bar. But I still say it was RX'd)
box jumps (did it on the women's box, which I believe is 20 inches)
For some twisted reason, I REALLY like Sumo DL HP's. I think because its mainly a leg/hip driven movement, which is where most of my strength is. I also like box jumps. Simple and straight forward. Did it in 5:55, which I'm pretty happy with. Overall, good workout and man did it help me get over the residual soreness I still had from Monday. My hamstrings have been SO TIGHT, which tend to get somewhat loosened up when I'm riding but not this time. I think the DL's helped alot because they're feeling better this morning.
Anyway, lesson on Arwen tonight with Trainer's new assistant/friend/helper. Hopefully I don't make too big a fool of myself.
