The 'easing back into it' training curve steeply shot up to full speed very quickly in today's session. On top of that, as soon as I got to the gym I got very strong cramps in my abs, that lasted pretty much through the whole session. Fun. Nevertheless, I'm here and I'm paying for it, so I muscled through and somehow survived (just barely)
We started with walking warmups, then a few rounds of swings with the 25lb KB and 35lb KB.
Then moved on to clean & jerks, for a zillion rounds. I've managed to retain a semblance of proper form, despite feeling like a brick was trying to push its way out of my belly, and also having been out of practice for a few months.
Jason- 'Just like riding a bike'
Me - 'yeah...a really heavy bike'
Then we did a super fun awesome time circuit set that is totally normal and not at all crazy:
- swing to goblet squat w/30lb bell
-kick throughs, where you start in a pushup position and alternate kicking your legs through the opposite side, like super fast twists
-prisoner squat jumps. Squat jumps with your hands behind your head (and your legs turning to jelly)
-bent over rows with two 15lb dumbells (and your arms turning to jelly)
We did that FOUR times. I had to rally through the last round. My body hates me already
And we weren't done!!! While I walked around in circles willing my body to continue, Jason wandered off and returned with the abs wheel of death. Of course for ab rollouts, which are agony and I am terrible at them.
Then one leg bridge presses, which I am okay at. But then a trick repeat of the abs wheel! And more bridge press!
Then a merciful stretching session where we learn that I am ridiculously tight again.
So much work to do.
