5/25/2021 Workout
15 minute EMOM (every minute on the minute)
Minute 1 - 10 heavy deadlifts (175lbs)
Minute 2 - 15 weighted hand-release push ups (10lb weight, yet still scaled on knees.. dunno)
Minute 3 - 20 weighted sit-ups (25lbs)
Thoughts: I don't know why, but going to a 5AM gym session just seems foreign to me at the moment. However, with summer coming, I'll take the much cooler morning temperatures than the steamy, hot, disgusting temperatures at 5:30PM or 6:30PM. CrossFit gyms and those types have this thing about never turning on the AC... and rarely turning on the heat. And, I'm really okay with never turning on the heat lol. It's just the lack of AC. I get it... I GET it. Especially with our Hero WODs being to honor fallen soldiers... but, I hate the heat. I hate humidity. It's just.. gross.
Anyway. This wasn't terrible. I love deadlifts. I just never really want to go heavy on them during a workout if I can't absolutely focus on my form. I originally had on only 125lbs, but got some looks on it.. so I slapped on the 25lbs plates lol. 175lbs it is. It's not that I can't deadlift them. I obviously can do 10 reps of it, and I need to improve my grip strength. I just like rest time between movements lol.
My issue has always been the push-ups. I alternated between doing the weighted push ups scaled on my knees but with a 10lb plate, and doing strict, no scale push ups with no weight. I'm finding that the hand release is making me want to stay laying on the floor and not do anything lolol.
Sit ups are good. These aren't an issue, but I really need to work on my obliques more.
All in all. Good session. I enjoyed quite a delicious nap after the workout lol. Naps after workouts are so underrated.
