Pushups, Metcon, Basketball

Early afternoon

Max Pushups: 35

Metcon: 4 Rounds, 6 Stations
1 minute, no rest between stations. 1 minute rest between rounds.

KB Swings 45#
Front Squat 45#
Renegade Row 20#
Step Ups 24in
Half Moons 20#
Double Unders

Couldn't keep track of all the reps, but I was fairly consistent throughout. Surprisingly, the toughest part was the half moons. These really took a lot out of me.

Late evening

About 1 hour of basketball. Both of our teams had a lot of subs for this game, but it didn't mean there was a whole lot of rest. We still play pretty inconsistently, but it was a win nonetheless. They had one player who could shoot from pretty much anywhere on the floor, and did so almost without resistance. If it wasn't for Shawn and his 4-5 three-pointers, I think we would definitely would have racked up an L for this game.

Long Metcon

Early Afternoon

20 Double Unders

5 Rounds:
10 Pushups
15 Push Press (50# DBs)
20 Squat Thrusts with Mtn. Climbers
15 Suitcase Deadlifts (50# DBs)
10 Half Moons (18#)

20 Double Unders

25:27

Workout comments: Half moons consist of picking up a med ball from the ground on your left side, raising it over head, and bringing it down to the ground on your right side. Repeat in opposite direction. That's two reps. It was extremely hot in the fitness center today. Both sets of double unders went unbroken, which is surprising considering I had a strange rope and different shoes on. The push presses and squat thrust/mountain climbers were the toughest: the former due to strength and the latter due to cardio. Was not expecting it to take this long.

The weather is continue to roll in at 100+ degrees and looking to continue that way without any break. I don't think I will even attempt any runs outside in the next few days.
