We were scheduled to go 5 rounds, but accidentally started the 6th, so we finished it! The box jumps were small, so not too bad. I did one round with resistance bands on...kinda like it!
This was the first time I got to pick up the sledgehammer. I'd seen these done before and always wanted to do them. I was just glad I didn't hit myself at all, so it was a success. I used a 12lb hammer and it was pretty easy actually. Maybe I just need to work harder!
The ring rows were tough. My pulling strength is kind of weak and my grip goes pretty quick with those. I used a 24 for the first 2 rounds of the swings and then dropped down to a 20. My grip was struggling, so I started letting the bell go briefly at the top of the swing which helped make it last a bit longer. I'll try with the 24 next time.
For the ropes I did rounds of alternating, doubles, circular, criss-cross, alternating and doubles. As long as I can hold onto them, I'm ok but I usually lose the grip around 45s, mostly because of sweat.
The power wheel walks sucked! Justin made them look easy, but I was struggling. Here's someone else making them look easy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNYBDv-dtjY. We did 10 yards forward, 10 yards backward, 5 times. My abs won't like me tomorrow!!
Thanks for the video, I was wondering what that power wheel walk thing was. Yea, he made it look easy but that seems like it'd be a bitch! Nice workout!
