I ended up using today as a rest day since I already did today’s stuff yesterday by accident. I wasn’t feeling well after work and I had a doctor’s appointment which was taking up a lot of my time anyway, so I decided to go home and sleep instead of going to the gym.

Statuses

I did it again…

Awww man! One week into Starting Strength and I already managed to mess it up. Yesterday was supposed to be skills/rest, but I did squats/bench instead!

I guess today I’ll do some skills. My midweek rest day is shot for this week, but technically the weights I did yesterday made it seem kind of like a rest day. So I think I’ll treat yesterday as squats/bench/rest, and do some full on goat work today. I’m thinking Karen… We’ll see. 🙂

Double-unders
Sit-ups
[Time: 15:50 (or 15:40? I’m not sure). I beat my trainer Alex’s first Annie time by like a minute!!!!! Woohoo! I love Annie. I got 15 double-unders in a row at the very start, but then I guess I was tired and I was getting only a couple at a time, increasing to about 10 in a row consistently towards the end. I am still doing double-single-double-single for WODs but in warm-up I managed 6 in a row without any singles! I get so tired doing it that way though and when I fail I usually can’t get back into the rhythm without resting, so it ends up taking longer.]
