Strength Training

Training this week was slightly reduced due to the fact I was running the Carlsbad Marathon on the weekend.

The first training session started with the typical warm up routine and then started off with a challenge - The 100 Burpee Challenge. How fast can you do 100 burpees, a full body workout with a blast of cardio. I had completed this challenge 2x previously and my best time was 7min 35sec. Unfortunatly I wasn't at my best and finished in 8min 30sec. After the challenge we went through a light circuit of front Squats, dead lifts, wheel rollouts, and bench presses.

The second session of the week consisted of 5 rounds of the following:
15 dumbell swings - started and 35lbs and ended with 40lbs
200m run
20 sit ups
15 dumbell rows with 20lb weights each hand
10 Bar Thrusts - Thrust the bar overhead from the shoulder positon

The workout finished with a 40 meter run holding a 45lbs weight overyour head - a definite burner.
