Conditioning

Quick conditioning routine at Stonecroft this afternoon.

Row - 2k with damper set at 10
Time = 9:57

I just wanted to see what difference a higher damper setting would make. Today was 30 seconds quicker than last week.

======

Amrap 12
7 dumbbell hang squat cleans @ 25s
7 dumbbell push presses @ 25s
Score = 7 rounds and 6 hsc

Rowing and core

I don't usually train on Sundays, but I didn't have time to do as much as I wanted yesterday, plus I was bored so I went to the Stonecroft gym for a short workout.

Rowing - 2k; damper setting @ 6
Time = 10:27

I used to think that the higher the damper setting, the harder it is to row. However, I recently stumbled across a CrossFit article - which, quite frankly, I didn't understand - that says this isn't the case. It's just... different. Anyway, this 2k with the damper at 6 felt tougher on my arms than my recent 5k set at 10.

======

Some core work, all separate and untimed.

100 sit-ups
Push-up/Swiss ball crunches - 7, 6, 6, 7
Leg/hip raises - 5 x 10 reps
