Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day #249

Day 249 I woke up today feeling pretty tired. the run last night although necessary made for a not so great sleep. That being said, I was looking forward to being back at the gym and getting back into the swing of things. I had to compromise a little bit of the intensity of my workouts while I was in New York, so I thought today would be a good day to do something really hard. I decided I would give Fran a try again. I've done it twice this year. The second time was much better than the first. I wasn't expecting to set any records today but I thought I would be able to post a decent time.

Today's Workout:

Barbell Thruster (Front Squat to Overhead Press) 95lbs

Supersetted with

Pull-ups

3 Rounds: Round 1: 21 reps each Round 2: 15 reps each Round 3: 9 reps each

I normally would have timed this workout, as you are supposed to do but as I started I realized I was just going to really suck. I had a lot of fun in New York but I think it definitely took it's toll. I had absolutely no jam at all today. I managed to finish all of my reps but it took me quite a while to catch my breath between rounds. Oh well, my friends don't get married all the time. My performance may have taken dip as a result of all the fun but it was worth it.

After attempting Fran, I tacked on a little functional core work with some rowing.

Kettlebell Suitcase Carry: 30 metres per side x 3 sets

Rowing Machine: 1000 metres for time (4:06)

Hopefully, I can get a better sleep tonight. I like to feel better about my workout tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be really nice, so I might try to get outside and enjoy the sun while it's still here. I've really enjoyed all the travelling the summer but it's nice to be home.
