Today was another of those "it doesn't look so bad" days. Just like every other time too, I was horribly wrong. Guess that I'll never learn. It will always be bad.
No weights, but tough work nonetheless.
I started the first two rounds not using a band for pull-ups, but I knew that wouldn't last. By the third round I was on the red band. The pull-ups were still a struggle. 30 seconds of max effort, even with pacing, is tough. I was exhausted after 20 seconds and really had to push to get in a couple more reps each time.
The tuck jumps sucked, but once I got a pace going I felt good. I actually was able to get more reps at the end than in the beginning. Laura made us turn around and face the back wall away from the clock a few rounds in. Except my shin hurts now. Boo!
Lastly, the sit-ups. My game plan was to be consistent. I'm not very fast at doing them, but I held on and managed to get 15 almost every time.
Here's my breakdown at the end of it:
Pull-ups: 154 reps
Tuck jumps: 447 reps
Sit-ups: 158 reps
Total: 759 reps
I'd say that's not too shabby.
On a side note, I wore my Reebok Crossfit Nanos for the first time today. Not too bad. They definitely need a break in period. I'll do a shoe comparison/review once I get a good feel for these.
I got the black and grey ones.
Hoku chilling outside this afternoon.
Check out this pic that Laura took this morning. My minions!
Pull-ups!
