Tues May 1, 2018
Warmed up on the treadmill and then 30 minutes of freestyle workout, mostly calisthenics. Did 2 minutes on , 1 minute rest for 10 rounds. Did things like walking lunges, jump squats, box jumps, barbell press, burpees, mountain climbers, high knees etc The sorta muscle-endurance type stuff I did at Muay Thai back in the day. Did 3 pull-ups between sets so 3x9=27 total.
At the end I spent 5 minutes hanging on the chin-up station. It has various handles so I tried moving between the various grips without going into a dead hang.
All of this is in aid of building some muscle endurance for the Spartan Sprint that my friend and I signed up for. It is June 23 so I have 8 weeks to train for it. I watched a video on YouTube this morning of someone doing the Sprint in the southern U.S. and it had A LOT of climbing over walls and climbing up and down things so I think improving my upper body strength and endurance is a priority.
I think my plan going forward is to do 2 LISS sessions, one lifting session, and one freestyle workout per week. I'll probably do pull-ups every time I'm at the gym, or maybe do something easier like low cable rows or facepulls so I don't burn my shoulders out.
