Resting the Back, Stressing the Lungs

Not much lifting today. Zercher Squats and Floor Presses were on the agenda, but Marathoner was not feeling strong. We’ve increased our volume pretty significantly lately. We both needed a break.

3x
5:00 AMAP 4-count steps onto 16″ box with 2-20# dumbbells
5:00 AMAP Turkish Get Ups @ 16kg KB
2:00 Rest

Total rep counts: 346 steps and 90 TGUs.

I started out attacking the TGUs in sets of 5x ea. arm, but quickly moved to 6x ea. arm - much more efficient. As I began my third round I thought, I can do 350 steps and 90 TGUs. I barely got the 90 and couldn’t quite make the 350. It was good work anyway. After that, Marathoner took off and I did some light upper body stuff.

3x
AMAPClose-Grip Bench Press (index fingers on the edge of the smooth) @ ~BW (165#)
I actually weighed in at 161#, but better Ceiling() than Floor()
AMAP Wide Grip Pull Ups @ BW
Round 1 Round 2 Round 3
Bench Press 14 11 9
Pull Ups 8 5 3

Maybe could have gotten more pull ups w/ some body-english, but kept it pretty strict and did what I could do.
