Benchmark: December 2008 Archives

"Christine"

| | Comments (0)
Row 500 meters
12 bodyweight deadlifts (60 kg)
21 box jumps (20 inches)
My slow time today: 15:18

Last time was in Feb. 2007, 13:02
November 2005, 12:29 (my best time)
May 2005, 12:57

Sheesh! I knew I was out of shape. I want to do Christine again in two or three weeks and see if I can take off two minutes. My deadlifts are stronger and my rowing technique is better than in early 2007 so I feel good about today's workout regardless of the slower time.

Most recent squat workout:
November 19: 10 sets of 2 at 95 kg
Most recent deadlifts:
Yesterday. Six singles at 100 kg
Pressing:
Today. 5 sets of 5 at 27 kg. Like the deadlifts, I'm working back into these as my elbow improves and at the same time doing Egoscue exercises to loosen up my shoulders and spine.
