Working out in Portland

I am very lucky that I know people up here in Portland and that makes it easier for me to get workouts in while I am away from the gym.

Wednesday WOD: 3 rounds 10 push jerks, 20 hang power cleans, 30 deadlifts 65# Time 11:34 When Nichole said that this was going to be the workout and the weight that I was going to use I thought that it was going to be lite. But my forearms and grip was killing me by middle of round 2. It was hard to hold on the the bar while I was doing the cleans. Overall a good workout. I like it because my grip strength is weak and by working on that it will help with pull-ups and kettlebell swings.

Thursday WOD AMRAP in 10 minutes of 250m row, 12 slam balls (16#) 5 and a half rounds. This was a good short one to get the heart rate up pretty quickly. I don't get to row as much as I would like and this workout just reminded me how much rowing sucks. But a good one.

Friday: Rest day
