then..
goblet squats
5 x 20 (20kg)

today’s workout was programmed in honor of fallen soldier, ricardo antonio crocker, who was a SMPD/SWAT operator. the workout is actually prescribed with rope climbs, but with only two at dogtown, it didn’t make logistical sense to include them. the running portion was awful, as usual. 

i’ve moved on from wall balls to goblet squats. i think the underlying problem of my pathetic attempts to wall ball is weakness in my quads. they may be strong in short spurts, but don’t receive enough training for high volume. the kettlebell will be my new best friend for the next couple of weeks!

30lb dumbbell push jerks? like a walk in the park! if a walk in the park meant a 50lb weight vest and a baby in each arm, absolutely!! 24” box jumps and 24kg KB from here on in. this little hobbit is determined to get stronger >:)

goblet squats are killer on your quads. i’m going to try working on these guys instead of wall balls. i’m bored of wall balls after doing them for the past couple of weeks. time for something new!
