CrossFit Day 31
Today’s workout was pretty simple, but the time got away from me quickly. It required ramping sets of pullups. I’m still doing assisted pullups, since I’m not yet strong enough to do more than one pullup and I’m not coordinated enough to kip. Our instructions were simple—start a clock and do one pullup the first minute, two the second minute, and so on, increasing sets by one per minute until you’re unable to finish a set in a minute.
I managed to get seven complete sets and six of the eighth set. I’m sure if I’d had 10 more seconds on the clock, I could have done an eighth set and part of a ninth. I have a lot of upper body strength training to do. Knowing that 34 assisted pullups isn’t jack, I added a set of 34 pushups and 34 squats at the end. I ended up with 21 extra pushups having forgotten to turn on the heart rate monitor. When that happens, you can either say “screw it” or “I need the extra work anyway” and start over.
My results: 13:12, 6:55 zone (hard); HR: 155 avg, 173 max; 170 cal
Pullups: 34; Pushups: 45; Squats: 34
Results include pullups, pushups, and squats, but not the extra set of not-monitored pushups mentioned above.
