4 x 8 weighted barbell step-up  - 65lbs

 

Weighted barbell step-up: Set up a box so that when you step up to it, your thigh is parallel to the ground. Drive up using the leg on the box, not the leg on the ground. Use a moderate weight. 4 sets/8 reps (four on each leg). Yes, you use a rack for this.

Then…

Complete the following for time: 10:20

15 kettle bell thrusters (as heavy as possible) - 12lbs. each
50 double unders (50 singles)
10 kettle bell thrusters
50 double unders
5 kettle bell thrusters
50 double unders

 

Those weighted barbell step-ups were a bitch!  I don't know if I got any of them correct.  I know I'm still babying my right foot but going up the steps is okay.  Wondered if I should have dropped the weight though.  So hard for me to figure out sometimes.  I want to do more weight but I know I need to keep the intensity up.  I almost did drop the weight down but also figured I had done 2 rounds at that weight.  My brain just can't seem to figure it out sometimes. 

 

I did the lighter weight on the kettle bells.  Not sure if that was the right decision or not either as the board said as heavy as possible.  I was not using as heavy as possible weights.  While part of me thinks it was the right decision and I felt like I kept moving I'm not sure if I pushed myself hard enough. 

 

Jump ropes still suck but I think they're getting better.  I know I'm concentrating on getting both my feet off the ground at the same time.  Now, if I could just stay in one place - LOL! 

 

I need more confidence in deciding on weights whether it is to drop the weight or increase.  I just don't know how to decide.
