Back in action

Last week, everything seemed to pile on at once, and a fourth workout got buried in the rubble. And not just the reporting thereof -- the whole thing. So, here we begin week 21 with another circuit, inspired by last Friday's WOD.

4 rounds
Row 500m
12 thrusters #45 bar
15 good mornings #45 bar*
15 step ups **

Finished with:
15 squats #55
1500m easy row (8 min)

* Five pounds more than last week!
** I was going to do these with weight, but even 15 lb dbs were nearly impossible. Stepping up this high (at least 20") is harder than jumping - it's almost too high for my foot to reach while still keeping my hips aligned. (And I don't think I'm supposed to be jumping any more...) I'll remember for next time that if I want to do weight, I'll need to lower the step (we have a sort of stool thingy which is great, but a pain to adjust.)

Weigh-in: 144!! I hope it's the little guy who's packing on the pounds. I know it's not that: according to my inside sources, he doesn't even weigh a pound yet! I'll blame the big weekend of near-beer and card-playing... (And an afternoon rather than morning weigh-in.)
