WHITEBOARD – 8 November 2011

Workload:

Deadlift

1-1-1-1-1

Then:

6 Rounds of:

1 Minute Calorie Row
1 Set Max Rep Push-ups

Notes: Put the timer on a 1 minute cycle.  As soon as your 1 minute is up for the Calorie Row you perform your 1 set of max rep push-ups.  Get back on the rower once the second minute is up.   Obviously you will have less rest in the beginning rounds due to be able to perform more push-ups. 

Oh, and please read this great article from Greg Evertt over at Performance Menu:

I couldn’t agree more with the last paragraph:

The push-up is one of those things that when done well doesn’t draw much attention—it’s not a flashy feat of athleticism. However, in my opinion, how one performs a push-up is indicative of that individual’s athletic foundation, and possibly more importantly, how committed one is to excellence in movement and performance. Sloppy push-ups suggest to me a superficial interest in athleticism and a degree of laziness. Put a little attention and effort into the simple things and it will pay returns in the more complicated and interesting ones.

    A great start to the day – the realization that I push up like a saggy hunchback.

  • John Donne – Meditation 17

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
