I think I nearly killed poor Adam today.
I'll save the boring details about the food I've been eating. It's been basically the same breakfast, lunch and snacks for the past three days. I'm not bored of eating it, just bored of typing it. I did have a protein shake last night after my dinner of 1 scoop protein, 1/4 avocado, ice, maca, raw carob, and some almond butter which was new. I don't think it's entirely Whole 30 approved, but it's close enough. I'm trying not to loose sight of the goal for draconian details.
I combined Adam's new love of pause back squats with my 5/3/1 squat work today. I think my max was 245lbs x 5 with a three second pause at the bottom and Adam hit 205#. The pause keeps the squat from that heavy shearing bounce that really does hurt my knee, but man, is it fight. We supersetted our warm up sets with box jumps, which I really liked so maybe will implement permanently.
The bulk of our workout was...
1-12-1 push-up ladder
3000m ski erg relay
1-12-1 push up ladder
2000m ski erg relay
1-12-1 push-up ladder
1000m ski erg relay
Since our ski ergs at the gym are from the Spartan Race, they only go in 200m intervals, so we changed out frequently, but it sorta worked. After Adam finished the second push up ladder, he got so fatigued and frustrated that he grabbed his stuff and said he was going to leave. I was able to talk him back into finishing (we were so close!), but he struggled the rest of the work out.
We ended up doing 432 push-ups each, which is a heinous amount. I personally love the ski erg as a break from the rower because of how similar it taps the energy system, but how different the movement is.
Making a variation of chicken tacos for Hali and I tonight, so I might take some photos and post those, other than that, sorry for the plain post.
