Light work at home

Watching the boy while Tay runs errands, and short on time, so I just made up my own quick workout:

Rack to OH/Burpees

WU:
Run 400 7mph
Dynamics (adding inchworms)
10 push ups
10 incline sit ups
10 dips

10 squats
10 push press 45#

WOD: 100520
20 Rack to OH
40 Burpees

I did 4x5/10. Rx was 185#. Pack said 115-135#. I did 135 for first set of 5, and realized it was too heavy. Went down to 115#, and it was plenty for me. Switching weights after the first set of 10 burpees hurt my time, but I may have needed the break.

Back to the gym

Saturday, 100522 was travel day, which included about a half-mile walk to the car carrying roughly 50 lbs of luggage and car seat, so no WOD.

Sunday 100523, I did some yardwork and usual yoga.

Monday 100524, I was just a slackass.

Today, Tuesday 100525, I got back into the swing.

WU:

QL started to tighten up today. I'm sleeping in a strange bed, been hard drinking 3 days in a row, and had abbreviated stretch yesterday, so it's kind of expected. Extra stretching and laying down with feet propped up have helped it, but still noticeable.

Toward the end, I had to put the weights down a few times, and on squats I had to rest one end of the DBs on shoulders and press the other ends together in front of my neck to stabilize them and keep from dropping. Not sure if that is cheating or not.

No squat rack at my gym, so I had to power clean the bar up. Wrists feel a little tweaked because of it. Felt strong, particularly in the warm up exercises where I have frame of reference. It's likely because I worked out at night instead of my usual morning time.
