Day 3

Can't really believe it's only my 3rd day. I feel really comfortable there..though I still get the butterflies on the way over. My legs were insanely sore going into today. Those backsquats killed me. They were more tight than sore really. Tightest they've ever been.

Today was good. 400m run and some "inchworms" to warm up. Inworm is basically get down in pushup position, keep your legs straight but walk your feet up then walk your hands out till you're back in pushup position. Do that about 15 times. Really good for stretching your hamstrings I guess. Then a we did some reinforcement stuff of what we learned last time (backsquats w/ pvc pipes for technique/form, and kettlebell tosses). Still getting the hang of those.

Then we learned how to deadlift. I don't know what was up with me...I was sweating like crazy just during the warms up and my legs were barely keeping me up when we were learning the deadlift position. Then we went on to do with with weight. I think they set me and my partner up with 75lbs. Did some of those to practice with weight.

After that we learned box jumps...pretty basic. Jump up..land on two feet. Stand up tall. Jump down.

The workout was 8 minutes. Do as many rounds of 7 deadlifts and 7 box jumps (alternating w/ a partner...so one person does a round, the other does a round, back to the first person). That was good. Really tiring. The box jumps really get the heart going. The deadlifts aren't bad. Really trying to focus on form though. Don't want any bad habits. The bar scraped off the first layer of skin of my left shin. We managed to get 6 rounds each in 8 minutes.

Right after that we went right over to the pullup bars and worked on pullups for the last ten minutes. Action packed class today. Definitely getting my $s worth. Feel pretty good right now. Not too tired. Psyched to have two days off.
