Hurricane Flo

Friday, September 14

Just three months until my birthday.

AFAP
Run 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, & 800m in 50m shuttle sprints
Complete 5 TNG rounds after each run of deadlift + power clean + hang power clean @ 100#

That’s 3,600m or 2.25 miles of sprinting, along with 40 deadlifts and 80 PCs.

Not only were rounds of DL+PC+HPC TNG and unbroken, there was also no jumping when extending. So there’s that.

Time = 21:20

That was fun!

Saturday, September 15

Knowing that the remnants of Flo would likely be with us for a couple of days, I took Luke & Cinna for a long walk this morning before heading to the gym, AKA the garage.

EMOM 30
6-count burpee + (strict) ring dip
6-count plate burpee, 45#
3-count burpee box jump, 27″ (45# plate placed on top of box)
3″ negative (strict) HSPU (place plate on mat)

Any workout that includes 90 burpees is going to be enjoyable, and this was no exception.

Obviously I moved the plate to the box, then to the gym mat, and then back to the mat on the floor. ‘Twas much carrying and correct placement of plate.

I had two slow rounds: when I was thinking about storm preparation and had forgotten to move plate from mat to starting position for plate burpee and when Jeff interrupted me to ask a question. Times ranged from 29 (last round!) to 43 (dammit!) seconds, with a total accumulated time of 17:10. Winning.

Sunday, September 16

It’s a rainy day, as the remnants of Flo finally reach Western NC. I took Luke and Cinna for a walk, and we were all drenched by the time we returned home.

32 1-min rounds for accumulated time
5 calorie row
3 WBS (20# & 10′) odd-numbered rounds
3 T2B even-numbered rounds

This was a gasser. The slowest and fastest rounds took 36 and 24 seconds, respectively, and I averaged about 31 seconds a round. Accumulated time was 16:26.

Monday, September 17

The 8 and 9 am sessions were canceled at AB Tech. I did teach at 10, and the first round of demonstrative speeches were very good, so I’m pleased.

I worked out at 4, and it was moist.

Reverse CF Total
Max load
Deadlift
Back squat
Press

This was quite different than the CF Total, and doing the press last was quite an experience.

I set modest goals, as I plan on using this as baseline for next 3-month (yes, 3-month) strength cycle. My goals were 360, 225, and 145, respectively, and I lifted 365, 235, and 140. Yay, yay, and nay.

7-min AMRAP
Burpee K2E

I set goal to complete 50 reps. I worked continuously and didn’t pause to even chalk my hands. How many reps? Fifty-seven!

I had four ripe bananas so I made banana cupcakes with honey-cinnamon filling and they are as moist as it’s been in NC these last couple of days.
