Workout Recap - Week of March 10, 2019
After my brush of sickness last week, this week's main goal was to get back on track. There wasn't anything spectacular about what I ended up doing, but they were five mostly-legitimate workouts, which lays a decent groundwork to build up from.
Monday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
5 Pulls Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Prisoner Squats
Time = 4:30
Bonus: none
Seeing as I had done this workout as things had started to trend poorly for me, it felt like an appropriate measuring point to gauge if I was recovering. The finish time was in the same ballpark, which was a sign that I was past the worst of it.
Tuesday
Type: As Fast As Possible
50 Burpees
Time = 4:15
Bonus: 7 pull ups
Since I'd skipped doing 100 burpees on the weekend, this was an abridged version to make up for that. This was a fantastic pace, though I'm well aware that I was approaching it as being no more than what it was, which is to say that I wasn't keeping more in reserve as if I was doing a full hundred.
Wednesday
Type: Pass/Fail
Close Handstand Push Ups - 1 set of 6 (pass)
Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 1 set of 10 (pass)
Hanging V-raises - 1 set of 13 (pass)
Bonus: 2 sets of 6 Superman push ups
Honestly, I just tried to avoid overthinking this. It was reasonable and effective. Did it push me to a new level? No. Would that have been better? Probably, but not if it'd come at the cost of what else I was busy with on this day.
Friday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
8 Pull Ups
8 Bridges
20 Mountain Climbers
Time = 6:00
Bonus: 7 fingertip push ups
It felt like I'd been going easy on both pull ups and bridges lately. This was a prelude to the weekend to help address that.
Saturday
Type: As Fast As Possible
6 sets of:
6 Pull Ups
6 Burpees
6 Bridges
Time = 8:00
Bonus: 7 chin ups
The finish time wasn't good by my standards. That said, just doing it was a victory in itself.
