Results
I think the jump rope might have actually been a warmup, but not for me :) I would definitely like to get better at it!
I loved the getup/press combo! I think the idea was to start with a heavier weight and then drop down as the press reps went up. I should have started with a 24kg bell, but I didn't think about it until I finished the first round with a 20. And so I decided I would try to them all with a 20, which I did!
The last part of the workout wasn't so good. The deadlifts and windmills irritated my lower left back (nothing unusual there), so I ended up dropping down from 20s to 16s to 12s for both of those. I used a 16 for the good mornings, which don't bother my back as much.
One thing that I love about hitting the gym after work is how refreshed I feel afterward. I usually have that "2:30 feeling" on the way there, just no energy. By the time I leave, I feel for so much better!
Hmm, jumpropes. Hate them. Not only because of my being a mom issue but I swear to you, I whip myself with that damn thing entirely too many times and end up with welts on my arms! Anyway, looks like a good one to me. I love good mornings and single leg deadlifts. Killer, but great moves! That's a good point about that 2:30 feeling, that's the worst. It's so great that you go then because most people get that feeling and then just decide not to go because they're too tired. Good on ya bro!!
