Friday Tabata Row and Double Unders

Spent a few good days in Houston and was ready to hit the box on Friday night. I had expected a really fun warmup given the WOD did not look ike it was going to last long. Something like the junkyard warmup or similar. Not in the works. Instead Ryan gave us a little bit of a lecture on hamstring strength. I do like going through these on occasion and this was a good one. Our warmup was focused on building hamstring strength which can be applied in a bunch of different areas. All parts of the warmupwere controlled and slow movements.

Warmup (2 minutes each)
Incline row - focus on pulling forward with the heels down
Hamstring band pull
Jump rope - sigles, doubles, cross overs, mix it up
KB - 4 romanian deadlifts, 4 single arm swings each arm

WOD
Tabata row for distance
Tabata double unders

Rowing was a lot of fun. Ended up with 899 meters. Double unders started out great. 27 on the first round and all were in a row. Ended up with 8 on my lowest round. Tweaked my left knee a little bit but pushed through it.

Knee was sore and really tight all weekend up until Sunday night. Tomorrow's WOD is box jumps and squats so I need to make sure I tell Ryan beforehand so he doesn't let me go crazy and hurt it more. Hope to get in 5 days this week.
