The Oracle of Apollo Snippets from the life of Apollo Lee

CrossFit Day 105

Today’s workout was “Diane.” I felt like I needed something extra for Diane, because my heavy weights are the 35 pound dumbbells, so I added a round of heavy kettlebell swings. Here’s what we’re doing today.

“Swinging Diane”: Three rounds (21, 15, and 9 reps) for time:

1. 70 pound dumbbell deadlift (2×35# DB)
2. Handstand pushups (knees on table)
3. 53 pound kettlebell swings

After I finished my warmup, I expected that this workout would take me about ten minutes. I did a lot more work last time (maybe I should have done that today, instead). It wasn’t much of a challenge, but I tried to maintain a consistent output of energy.

Rounds

1. 04:10.30 – (04:10.30)
2. 03:08.25 – (07:18.55)
3. 02:00.07 – (09:18.62)

My HRM: 9:22, 2:28 zone (hard), HR: 169 avg, 185 max; 137 cal
