Saved by the Bell

5 minute jump rope warmup

3 rounds:
20 hand release pushups
20 burpees
50 airsquats

This is a variation of my benchmark workout that I used to do at home.  This workout is tough but has gotten a lot easier.  I may need to come up with a new benchmark.

I had a little bit of extra time on Saturday night after getting off work around 6:30 so I decided to go to the gym.  For once I wouldn't be staring at the clock because I only had an hour for my lunch break.  I started out the night by running 2 miles and a really good feeling treadmill.  Seriously, it was probably the best one I've ever been on.  After that I did a pull up ladder.  Then I decided to do arm curls because I never do them.  So I decided to do a super set starting with as many as possible with 50lbs, then with no rest 40, then 30.  I planned on doing 2 super sets like that.  However as I got close to the end of the first, the lights started going out.  The gym was closing!  I quickly finished my set and got my stuff from the locker room and left (without showering).  Today now fully 2 days later I am still sore.  If I had done that second super set I would probably have been overtraining and would be in pain right now.
