The Oracle of Apollo Snippets from the life of Apollo Lee

CrossFit Day 42

Today’s workout was light enough that I got through it pretty quickly. I didn’t have the equipment to do the full prescription, but I got my dose done. Here we go.

Seven rounds for time:

1. 10 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (53# Kettlebell)
2. 10 Chair Dips

I picked up the heavier of my two kettlebells today, about twenty pounds heavier than the one I used the other day. Since I don’t have rings set up, I used a chair for the dips. The whole workout went pretty quickly.

I should do more things with the kettlebells, especially the heavy one. Perhaps I should get a training book to walk me through some interesting supplemental circuits using them.

My results: 10:11, 3:45 zone (hard); HR: 159 avg, 177 max; 140 cal

You’re killing it, Apollo. Down to just under 160 from just over 190 in 15 weeks? You’re my fucking hero.

[…] workout was a repeat of one I did before in November. Today, though, I’m adding a round of pushups to make it more of a challenge today. […]
