PCF

Metcon:

3 rounds of:

10 chest-to-bar pull-ups
25 push-ups
10 kettlebell swings (53#)

Then, run 800 meters.

Then, 3 rounds of:

10 pull-ups
15 push-ups
10 kettlebell swings

Then, run 400 meters.

25.05. Happy to be back working out, but this time was brutal. No problems at all with the back. Felt strongest on the swings and decent on the pull-ups. Most of my time was lost on the push-ups, as I was quickly breaking them up into doubles. Runs were fine, but it's been a while since I've worked in this time domain. I tried swinging the 70# bell, which was rx'd for the first three rounds of the workout, but it felt too heavy and I didn't want to jeopardize my back.

It's time to take ownership of my push-up/pressing issues. Need to start dipping twice per week, and incorporating some bench press and additional push-ups. Strict pull-ups would probably help, too.
