I'll post info on cardio, stretching and balance work later this week and this weekend, but wanted to share something I remembered that is fun to do with your weightlifting before moving on. Hopefully you keep some kind of log of your workouts, anything from a notebook, a spreadsheet, online or now one of the many apps that help track your progress. Whether you are lifting for maximal strength or muscular endurance a fun thing to do is add up the total weight lifted and compare it to everyday objects. Say you are working on muscular endurance today and do "thrusters" with just the bar. Quite humbled compared to folks who didn't scale the workout, you decide to total up your lifting anyway. Say the WOD included 10 thrusters as part of 5 rounds. Well, just by lifting the bar, you lifted over ONE TON! Depending on how much you lift, think in terms of cars, trucks, planes, your house.....ok, if you lift enough in a workout to say you lifted your house, maybe I need to read your blog!
OK, on to the big sale, and how you can help me out. Notice the text Performance ad over there---> While it highlights a jersey sale, other items are on sale, and if you need bicycle accessories, parts or even a new bike, click on the link and you will go to the Performance website. In the name of full disclosure, I get a commission for sales through blog, and am donating half of my commissions between now and May 5th to CMA's Run for the Son. Performance is running a bonus promotion, so your purchases may actually help twice! Thanks, and have good workouts!
