Painful Pyramid PT Full of Pullups, Pushups, and Situps (and alliteration)

Here is the workout we did today for PT. It's a form of the pyramid routine using pull-ups, pushups, and sit-ups. Oh and it sucks. For pullups, just have them partner up and hold each others feet.

3 Pullups 6 Pushups 9 Situps
4 Pullups 8 Pushups 12 Situps

7 Pullups 14 Pushups 21 Situps

10 mins AMRAP:
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats

8 rounds.

Pulled something in my back Friday night warming up for some grass vball. Was hard to walk/pick up the baby/move until Saturday. Went to the chiropracter yesterday, he cracked my back some and I'm feeling a lot better. Didn't want to jump right back into it, so I cut Cindy in half today. Still managed 40 pull ups, 80 push ups and 120 squats. Felt fine afterward, other than being pretty tired from the work.

Grace MH

I decided I was going to try Grace for the first time. Oddly enough, it came up as the CF main site WOD for tomorrow. Weird. Anyway....

30 x 135# clean and jerk
Time: 8:18

I just power cleaned, didn't hit a full squat so I didn't technically do the WOD as rx'd. I felt pretty tired/weak before I started so I'm sure I'll beat the time next time this WOD comes up. High rep c&j's are kinda tricky. Couldn't really get in a groove and rip off a bunch in a row before I got sorta messed up and had to reset. Good workout though.

SDHP - LH

21-15-9
SDHP
Ring dips (jump and hold myself up- was a little better this time but I completely suck still)

Time: 6:04 (Time should increase as ring dips become closer to an actual dip)

Bench and 2k row MH

At lunch:
Bench press, 5 x 3
Sets 1-4: 245
5. 250 (failed on third rep)

About three hours later:
2k row
Time: 7:19

Last time it was 7:43. I think the big improvement was due more to having an idea how hard I could row throughout the 2000 meters rather than some massive increase in fitness. 20 more seconds and I'm sub 7 minutes!

Karen MH

Did this 03 May:
150 wall ball shots

Time: 7:08

I think that's a second slower than last time. Lame.

Deadlift-Burpee MH

5 rounds:
5 275# deadlifts
10 burpees

Time: 6:26

Last time I used 255# and got 6:14. This is the first time I've used the official rx'd weight, so we'll get a true comparison next time I try this since the weight will be the same.

KB - LH

Was planning on doing deadlifts today but Mike left all the weight on the bar and it's a pain in the ass to get off. Reagan was sleeping so I made up a quiet workout!

30-20-10
KB Snatch
Sit-ups
KB Clean and press
Box Jump (did step ups)
KB Swing

KB = 20lbs
Time 14:12
This was harder than I though it would be. The Clean and Press really wears my shoulders out! I need to build them up!
