Burpee thrusters and "Michael"

June 28th was a rest day, and then back to killin it again!

June 29th
Warmup: 500m Row
Cooldown: 1000m Row

WOD:

13 burpee squat clean thruster (35lbs) dumbbell's
20 pull ups (chest to bar)
13 overhead walking lunges each arm (35lbs)
20 pull ups
3x

Last time I did this in 24+ mins, and this WOD is a good one...I improved my time to a 19:38! I seem to be improving in all of my repeat WODs and I am less sore, and feel as if I can still easily improve in all areas.

June 30th
Warmup: 500m Row...5 pulls/10 pushups/ 15 squats x3

WOD: Michael

Run 800 meters
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups
x3

17:30...Good WOD, first time doing it. I hate 800's, but the only thing I hate more it 800's after any other excercise! So, this WOD was a good one, and the guys liked it too. I think it was a little easier then we have been doing, but it was good to go out and run, and working the lower back and the hamies nice! 1 more then rest day again! Thank God!!!
