Running Cindy

15 minute AMRAP:
300m run
n rounds of Cindy (n increases each round)

I completed 3 rounds + the run + 35 reps

Pull-ups felt springy! I never had to break up a set of 5. Push-ups felt hard, of course.

Cindy-ish + thrusters

On the minute for 10 minutes:
3 pull-ups
6 push-ups
9 air squats
Thrusters until the minute is up (65#): 10 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 4 - 3

42 thrusters total (Score is 65# x 42 = 2730#)

Putting the bar next to the pull-up rack would have improved my score significantly!

Running Cindy

AMRAP in 20 minutes:
~150m run (out the back door, to the wall and back)
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

Finished 9 rounds + 150m + 1 pull-up

I'm worn out!

Cindy at home

13 rounds + 5 + 4

(Jumping pull-ups)
Push-ups felt stronger than before!

Cindy at home

Car battery is dead, so worked out at home. Haven't done this in a while!

5 pull-ups (jumping)
10 push-ups (half+ with elbows close)
15 air squats OR sit-ups (did squats on the odd rounds, sit-ups on the evens)

Completed: 10 rounds + 5 + 8

Sit-ups were slow, but they meant I didn't have to get back on the push-ups so soon.

Cindy @CFD

10 rounds + 1 pull-up

I did kipping pull-ups and push-ups on the floor, not parallettes. Heavy! Only got 7 rounds last time, but I was doing parallette push-ups then, which have a larger (tougher) range of motion.

Cindy @CFD

7 rounds + 5 pull-ups + 5 push-ups
A PR... but for the lowest number of rounds!

Did the push-ups with my hands on parallettes and my feet on a low box or on the ground (5 reps each way per round). Push-ups are hard these days. So are pull-ups.

Shoulder press & Cindy @CFD

Press
65 x 5
65 x 5
70 x 5

Cindy
Just 10 squats shy of 12 rounds!
I did kipping pull-ups for the first 5 rounds and jumping pull-ups for the remainder.

Battle Cindy @CFD

Great workout: 4 rounds
The person on "defense" does a round of Cindy for time, while the "offense" does as many front squats as possible (taking the bar from the ground). Your score = number of squats. Then trade who's on offense and defense. Four "innings". More details here.

I went up against Maiya. I got 14, 16, 17, 17 front squats (95#).

Really tough, especially after doing 100 95# back squats yesterday! Having an opponent definitely motivated me to go faster on the Cindy portion.

I really wanted to go climbing today, but the wall was closed. Grrr. Scott and I did Cindy instead - our old standby.

Just like the last time I did this workout (10 days ago), I completed 10 rounds + 15 squats. But this time, all of my push-ups were good ones (full length, nose to the ground). Now I have to start working on doing them with my elbows close to my body.

Cindy

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
15 squats
10 push-ups
5 pull-ups (jumping)

10 rounds + 15 squats

Last time I did Cindy, I got in 12 rounds, but half of my push-ups were from my knees, but this time I only resorted to them on 2 rounds (the 6th and the 9th, I think), so that feels like an achievement. And my arms are not nearly as drained as they were last time. That was only 2 weeks ago.

Cindy! Finally!

After thinking about it, and feeling guilty for not doing it, and wishing I would just get up and do it, I finally did it!

Cindy - 20 minutes of:
15 squats
10 push-ups (some from my knees)
5 pull-ups (jumping)

I completed 12 rounds.

My arms feel pretty loosey-goosey from the push-ups.
Rounds 1-3: Full push-ups
Rounds 4-7: 5 full push-ups, 5 on my knees
Rounds 8-12: On my knees
I used to be good at push-ups! I'll need to practice them more often. Now that I've got a pull-up doorway, maybe I should initiate a push-up doorway as well.


Many thanks to my recent posters, Kim and Mr. Meiko. Knowing that someone else out there is reading this blog, no matter how irregularly, is a *huge* motivator.
