Early afternoon
Tabata Something Else
Sledgehammer 14
Jump Overs (parallette) 20
Situps 12
Double Unders 12
This is not the same workout often described under the same name. The workout involves 32 consecutive intervals ( 8 per exercise) of 20s on and 10s off. In my mind, I thought this was supposed to be 32 minutes, but actually on adds up to 16 minutes.
Late afternoon
Basketball game. Pretty decent today, but still lost.
Workout comments: My calves were definitely sore after this, obviously from jump overs and double unders, followed closely by a basketball game.

Metcon, Short Run
Afternoon
So a while back I secured a used truck tire which isn't really big enough for flipping, but still has its uses. I also picked up a sledgehammer and was itching to use it, but since all the snow my garage has pretty much been inaccessible. The snow finally started melting during the past week and I was at least able to get the door open. I rummaged through some of the equipment I've been hoarding during the past year and came up with this workout:
4 Rounds for Time:
50 Sledgehammer Tire Hits (split between right and left handed)
15 Burpees (including jump over a parallette I had stationed in the middle.
*Wore a 20# vest during the workout.
2:55, 3:27, 4:05, 4:07
14:34
4.2 miles on this loop in about 36 minutes with a 2:05 cruise interval up North Lane. 10 seconds better than Saturday.
Workout comments: I have no heat in my garage, but it was sheltered from the wind at least. I was actually scrambling to get outside afterwards. A pool of sweat had formed at my burpee station and sledge station. I'll have to remember to wear work gloves in the summertime so I don't chuck the sledgehammer straight through the wall. The burpees were tough, especially with the vest. I really wanted a bigger tire for box jumps, above anything else really. I've seen people doing these and I think it takes some of the fear of falling and smashing my shin, as I've done many times in the past. Flipping would also be pretty cool too. I have a standing order in at Ardmore Tire in case they get any in. Once I get a barbell set, maybe it would be a good idea to have some of the other guys over. Start up a little group circuit.
