Power

Litvinov Conversion

I know that in the past I have said that I don't see the point in these, two of my biggest mentors speak very highly of them, so what the heck.  They really, really suck too.

OHS 5x @ 160
Sprint 5-10 sec.
5 rounds
Rest as needed between rounds (I think it was about 4 min or so)

I would have loved to pull a sled with this too, but I was advised against due to my left Achilles tendon being the slacker that it is.

Power

Cardio-Power
6x 100m sprints with 5 minute rest between efforts.

1. 14.8
2. 14.8
3. 13.7
4. 13.7
5. 14.7
6. 14.6

The 13's I think I left early.  I have no idea where these "should" be.  Which might make this workout pointless? 

Then - SMMF,  Endurance <90:
45 min Sled drag in the gym.

This really borders on a few different categories.  Power-Endurance, SMMF (Single Movement Mind F*@!) and Endurance <90.

I regretted the decision to drag a sled for 45 min almost as soon as I started.  The walls are about 56 ft. (I had time to do the math based on how big the rubber matts are).  For the first 10 min I was just pulling it forwards and backwards.  Then I strapped on a belt and attached the sled to it, grabbed the 40# sand-bag and started carrying the bag in various ways while dragging the sled, back and forth, for 35 min.

Interesting thing was that a run this long and my mind would go into a bit of a meditative place, kind of numb to what's happening physically.  Not so when you shorten the distance before turning.  I have no idea how many laps I did, but I can say this, it was mentally trying. 

It reminded me of guy I heard about and met, Josh over at Gym Jones, doing 1 mile sled drag in the gym - and his gym is smaller than mine!  That would very very tough mentally.  Might have to try that one.

I don't know what happened on round 7, Chris said it looked like I hit a hole and stumbled, I don't remember though.
