Repeat 5x, resting 30 sec between rounds.
Today I realized that when I workout in the kids’ playroom in my building I can bring my computer down and listen to music. Joyful.
A nice, quick GPP session in the crisp cool air at J.J. Byrne Park. Did the box jumps on the brick wall by the playground, which is about 36” high (higher than Zach can even jump).
Repeat 6x, resting 30 sec between rounds.

Argh, I was keeping a pretty good pace on the woodchoppers and the slams until the last set. I was so sweaty by then that the ball kept slipping in my hands. Sweat - my gift, my curse.
Headed to J.J. Byrne Park near the new place for a quickie (after being cooped up waiting for the sofa to be delivered). Not really any good place to workout there since it’s half gravelly cement and half overrun with kiddies. I opted for the gravelly cement part for today’s workout.

Repeat 5x, resting 1 min between rounds.
Did this one as a warmup for the sparring class, so padded the rest and limited the number of circuits. This was really a recovery session for me since my legs are still sore from Jonesworthy. Maintained at least 12 burpees for each circuit.
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.

Those woodchoppers are killers.
Repeat 5x, resting 30 sec between rounds.
Tried to mix it up by doing the burpees last. Got at least 10 burpees in each set and 12 on the last one. Felt good.
Repeat 10x for time.
Total time: 29:30. Out in Minetta Playground again since it’s so beautiful and sunny. Didn’t feel so great for this one though - partly because I was a bit sore from yesterday, partly because my rope jumping sucks…need to work on that more. Starting on round 3, I kept tripping up the rope and couldn’t get an unbroken set of 100.
Workout from Ross Enamait’s Infinite Intensity.

This is only 18 minutes of work, but it was rough. The woodchoppers (with jump) may have been the worst.
Repeat 6x, 30 sec of rest between sets.
Did this one with cousin Matt on the soggy fake grass on Pier 40. He took me through some yoga stretches afterwards, which felt foreign and uncomfortable.
Follow the tabata interval protocol (20 seconds work/10 seconds rest) for the following 10 exercises:
Repeat circuit 4x for 20 minutes total.
Workout modified from Ross Enamait’s Full Throttle Conditioning.
Repeat 8x, 30 sec of rest between sets
The Chinnies were ROUGH.
Repeat 4x, resting 1 min between rounds (pushups on rounds 1 & 3, squats on 2 & 4).
