Metcon

Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
40 Double-Unders
20 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lbs)
10 Toes to Bar

I did the double unders.  Due to space limitations and equipment, I scaled the wall ball shots to 14# and a 9' target.  I scaled the T2B to hanging knee raises.  I finished 3 rounds + 45 reps in 12 minutes

Home Gym

The home gym worked out great today.  I had enough weight to build up to a heavy back squat with 15# to spare (if building to a heavy deadlift, I would have run out of  weight).  The rig was stable and I felt 100% comfortable racking the weight.  With a car in the garage, dumping the weight would have been catastrophic.  The space was big enough for double unders.  I have a support beam in the garage, the center of which is exactly 9' for the wall ball shots.  Finally the pull-up bar on the rig is at a good height for hanging knee raises.  It is too low for full extension (kipping T2B).

I streamed some music via Spotify and a blue tooth speaker.  I also set up a space heater, which provided a reasonable temperature in the attached garage with a 30 degrees F outside temperature.

All in all, a great day!
