These weren’t as bad as I thought they were going to be, but they were good long work. The last time I rowed sets of 1500m I quit at 1200, so there is improvement there. They did feel good and fast and I kept a full hand grip with my thumb around the bar, different then my usual thumb over the bar, and I actually think it helped with my grip. I think I could have done a couple more t2b’s so I’m a little mad at myself here. 6 was a good number to stick with all the way through 5 sets, any more then that and I might have dropped off badly. I did much better on my form, pushing straight up instead of doing the big loop around the head I usually do. This is a good tester and I hope we do it again because I will definitely be able to get more now that I know what it’s like. It’s easier to push your pace when you know you only have 2 more burpees to go as opposed to 5, which is what I had left. I think it would have been close but I could have finished the 7th and started my 8th. Of course I just looked around for a couple seconds wondering what the hell was going on and then started in. When I finished my 6th round I didn’t think I had gotten all my burpees in, but someone else was counting and told me I got them all in and to start on my 7th round. I knew it was going to be a huge challenge, and the worst part is that I had no idea how many I would be able to do so it could be a 5 min workout or a 10 min workout, which makes a big difference (pain wise). If you know you won’t make 4 rounds consider scaling to 5,5,5 and making it a 7:00 amrap sprint. I woke up to my alarm at 8 and had sore arms and hands. But back to the 4am hunger, I got up and ate some nuts and chicken bombers and had some milk then went back to bed. It felt like if I hit it as hard as I could against the wall I wouldn’t feel a thing, it would just bounce off like rubber. Yes, my arm felt like rubber from below the shoulder all the way down.
Last night I woke up at 4am starving, awake, and with a rubber arm.
