Ben's Catch-up Post

Bad week for me and working out/blogging.

Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - 1 hour of ice hockey. We lost. Surprise, surprise...
Thursday - nothing except for a new car

Finally, Friday 11/1...

First workout with my trainer!

We worked on mobility and warm-up exercises for the first 30 minutes. Then we practiced proper form for the squat, push-up and row.

My squat and push-up form are great. My row...eh.

WOD:

Scaled Cindy (12 min AMRAP)

6 push-ups
8 ring rows
15 air squats

10 rounds, 6 push-ups

I learned that I have a huge weakness when it comes to pull strength. All that time off from pull-ups trying to heal my elbow has really hurt that area. I think I only did the first round of ring rows unbroken.

So, I was kind of disappointed with my score since the push-ups and squats were not a problem. I could do them all day long. But it's also good because now we are going to focus on strengthening that area, which will help me become much more rounded. We are also going to work on my hamstring flexibility since that is the one area I'm tight.

I really like the trainer. This is going to be very helpful. I picked up so many little tips on things in just one session already.

Swimming on Tuesday!
