It seems that in the past few weeks when I start going anaerobic, my lungs have a strange burning to them. I’ve been out of breathe before but never had this kind of burning. Once I start to catch my breath, the burning dissipates. Not sure if this is left over from a couple of bouts with chest congestion this year; the lack of sprinting activities this year; or a combination of both. I’ve got an annual doctor appointment coming up in a couple of weeks, so we’ll see if he hears anything unusual then.
Also experiencing a bit of elbow discomfort, mostly in the right elbow. Some of it might be the chinups and ball slams, but some could be all the weights, boxes and tubs I’ve been carrying this week. Nothing serious at this point, but just listening to my body. I’ve certainly done myself grief before by ignoring stuff like this.

We were hoping to get out and do some cycling tonight, but by late afternoon the winds had picked up a lot and the recent 90F temps were causing thunderstorms to start exploding all over the place…. so, we opted for some high intensity rowing instead.
Warmup:
2 rounds
250m Row, 10 GHD Back Ext, 10 GHD situps, 10 pushups, 10 pullups, 10 squats
Workout:
500m Row Sprints
Penny: 1:52, 1:59, 2:08
Bob: 1:43, 1:44, 2:01, 2:00
We both were gassed and shaking when we got done, but I had enough energy to joke about doing one more round. Penny had just enough left to give me a gesture with her hand! I think it was her way of saying “You’re number one!!”

Iced my right shoulder after cycling to reduce inflammation.

Warmup: abmat situps & supermans for back extentions, overhead squats with PVC, 250m Row, dead hang chinups on rings with blue band, kipping pullups on ring with blue band, handstand pushups with black & blue bands
WOD called Nancy (scaled)
(3 Rounds of 15 Squats & 500m row)
Bob 12:50 (95# Back Squats, 500m row)
Penny 10:30 (20# Overhead Squats, 500m row)
I couldn’t do a single overhead squat with anything but a pvc pipe. Even with the 20# barbell, there was too much strain on my lower back as I started the squat due to my lack of flexibility yet (I pitch the overhead bar too far forward since I can’t keep my back upright enough in the squat and this strains my back trying to compensate). Therefore, I opted for a back squat and did the Rx’d weight of 95# to make sure my hip flexors got the full impact of the workout. I may need to start working with either a pvc pipe filled with sand or try using my old curling bar or light dumbells until I can do an overhead squat with some amount of weight and build from there.

Yesterday I installed a pullup bar (1″ rigid conduit) in the basement rafters just in time for today’s workout named Nicole. The bar was slipperier than shit, so I used some Gorilla tape on the bar… excellent grip now!!
Nicole
20 Minutes (As many rounds as possible)
Max Pullups per round
500m Row
3, 3, 4, 6, 5, 6
Total 27
At the beginning, I couldn’t buy a kip to save my life. That week and a half without access to a pullup bar did me no favors (the ring rows don’t help with the timing of a kipping pullup). But on the positive side, by the end I had beat and tied my previous best pullups (5) in a row 3 times…. oh… and I got lots of rowing practice {roll eyes}. It was definitely different working out early in the morning, but the timing worked out well for me.
