Training Day #2 (2/23/11) and Recovery Day (2/24/11)


Felt quite wreaked after Training Day #2. Set a new PR on unbroken kipping pull-ups (56) on Training Day #1, which I was pretty happy with. Here was my fist attempt earlier in the day when I did 52 kipping pull-ups.
I also set a new PR on Double Unders of 116 (on training day #2) with my RX Jump Rope. Not a huge number, but a PR non-the-less.
Also, my step-son Andrew set a PR on his Deadlift. 101# at 110# bodyweight. Watch it!


Training Day #2:

Mobility WOD: Shoulder distraction drill & Keg drill. Thanks Kelly Starrett!

Met. Con. WOD:
10 KB Swings (70#)
10 Front Squats (135#)
10 Toes-to-bar
AMRAP in 6 min
2 min rest
AMRAP in 5 min
2 min rest
AMRAP in 4 min
DONE!
Score=only fully completed rounds and you always pick up where you left off at the end of each AMRAP.
8 Rounds

Was lacking rest and fuel, but overall was happy with how I moved.

Recovery Day
Spending time with the foam roller and going to get in some more static stretching. Maybe a massage too.

I am curious how everyone else spends their time on Recovery Days. Please post to comments.

  1. It depends...If I am all beat-up it usually involves a lot of nothing except the foam roller, more water, and an up in my protein intake. If I feel good and am just "slightly" sore I will usually have an active recovery day and that may be a 30-45 minute walk through the neighborhood or a 3 set tennis match (well, a 3 set if I can win a game against my wife).
