Fitness - 21-15-9 Strict Press & WOD - 12/01

Not a very good night of sleep last night. I went to bed way too late and woke up several times because my room was a fricken' walk in fridge, very cold for some reason. I could tell that my body was not ready for today's workout.

Focus: 21-15-9 strict press
1x19 - 60 Kg (132.3#)
1x14 - 60 Kg (132.3#)
1x8 - 60 Kg (132.3#)

I felt good about this effort. It's the most I've ever tried with a 21-15-9 of military press. Last time we did this I used 55 Kg's for all three sets and I got all the reps but it was a battle. So, I decided to up it this go-around and I almost got them all. I fell 2 reps short on my first set and failed on the last reps of the final two sets.

WOD: 3 rounds, un-timed, 3 minutes rest between rounds
500m row (r1-1:30, r2-1:32, r3-1:33)
30 air squats
15 v-ups

Score/Time: N/A
Calories burned (focus & WOD): 546

Damn, this was killer. I stumbled out of the gym to my car after this WOD. My legs felt like jello. I left it all on the row machine, and going straight from rowing to air squats was a little weird. The first few squats went all the way to the ground because it was hard to gain control with super fatigued legs.

On a good note, I finally feel like my rowing is coming around. Two months ago I would have never been able to post times as low as these, and they would not have been anywhere near this consistent. There's still room for improvement though.
