Today I waited until the last minute to find a workout buddy and I ended up having to workout alone (boo.) I sent Cowboy Jeff a text...but he was busy working and couldn't get to the gym. I really always push a little extra hard when Cowboy Jeff and I work out together. He is a bit stronger than I am...but my stamina is a bit better than his...thus we push each other well.
Here was my workout...
-20 minute time limit
-as many sets of 10 rep body weight bench press (180lbs)
-as many sets of 10 reps of hand stand push ups
I finished up with exactly four sets of both in 20 minutes. I really struggled with the handstand push ups after the first two sets and had to break down into sets of 3-4 reps at a time.
After competing this 20 minute block, I did a burn out set (as many reps as possible to fatigue) or 40lb dumbbell preacher curl (10 reps each arm), wobble ball crunch (110 crunches) and diamond push ups with nose touching the floor each time (only 5, i think the bench press and hand stand push ups beat my triceps up pretty good.)
Overall, not a bad workout. I'm going to lay off lower body work for a couple of more days while I let my knee get back to 100% after the half marathon.
Great idea Brad. Perfect motivation for the “Spring Fit Point Challenge”! Looking forward to it!
