GPP Circuit

Med Ball Woodchoppers x 30 sec
Med Ball Slams x 30 sec
Jumping Jacks x 30 sec
Burpees x 30 sec (10)
Chinnies x 30 sec

Repeat 6x, resting 30 sec between rounds.

I searched the GPP archives for the worst individual exercises and tried to include a bunch of em in today’s circuit. I thought it would be interesting to see which was the worst today but it was no contest - the chinnies took it. That got me thinking that maybe the placement in the circuit has some effect on the pain. I’ll try something similar with the chinnies earlier in the circuit and see if they still kill me. I couldn’t get an unbroken set of those bastards after the first round today.

I also decided that I need to set up a sort of baseline for maintaining the intensity. I’m thinking that Crossfit’s tabata scoring system — keep the lowest number of reps you complete — may work for my purposes. For example my lowest burpee count in the 6 circuits was 10. So in the future, the 30 sec burpee baseline will be 10. Woodchoppers and slams came in about 16 but I still need to figure out the rest, record em, then hold myself to that standard for every GPP session.
