DEEP WATER INTERMEDIATE, Week 3, Workout 5

AM WORKOUT (0345 wake up via alarm) FASTED

ARMOR BUILDING COMPLEX (ABC) with 24kg bells

21 in under 5 minutes, 22 total

Immediately afterwards, 2 mile walk w/80lb vest

POST WORKOUT SHAKE

50 chins

50 dips

40 reverse hypers w/90lbs

20 standing ab wheels

50 pull aparts

25 push downs

Notes: I am pleased and upset with the ABCs.  I came up with a strategy with intervals, but miscalculated.  I went 20 seconds on/8 seconds off, thinking it would get me 11 rounds of work AND rest, but I realize it got me 11 rounds of work and 10 rounds of rest.  Had I known, I don’t think I would have set down the bells between the 21st and 22nd ABC.  But still some room to grow I suppose.  Once again: lungs absolutely broken from this.  This honestly might become a more regular thing for me.  As much as I see ABCs as an opportunity cost for Clusters, there is just something “right” about it.

Went for the walk while my heart rate was still up. 

Got the Tabata KB front squats knocked out in the evening.  Still had some "lung rocks" from the morning.  Honestly felt like I was going to give up chow.

Tang Soo Do last night was decent.  I’m figuring out jump kicks a bit better now such that they don’t tear up my knees as much.  

Bison tacos tonight, which is the perfect meal before Deep Water deadlifts.
