Team Ninja

We did a team workout this morning, and I partnered with Stephen because he’s usually one step ahead of me – I decided to use that to my advantage this morning. Plus he’s fun and he works hard; love that! We were both wearing all black, so, using my enviable creative skills, I dubbed us BLACK… which somehow became Team Ninja during the course of the workout.

We had to choose three moves from the following and complete a combined 300 reps:

• handstand pushups
• renegade rows, 15-lb. dbs
• double-unders
• 180-rotation jump squats
• db cleans

I nixed the cleans because I just did heavy power cleans on Wednesday, and selected renegade rows over handstand pushups. Stephen picked double-unders cause he can do, like, a million in a row.

300 total reps
For time:

• double-unders
• renegade rows
• 180 jump squats

Our time: 13:something (We finished first!)

I did somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60 renegade rows and maybe 100 squats; Stephen owned the double-unders (102!). Man! The renegade rows are time-eaters, but I love ’em. There’s something wrong with that, I know… but I do: I love the renegade row.

Then…

Medicine ball, 10-lbs.

• 15 overhead throws
• 20 around-the-world
• 15 seated chest pass

Finally…

2 rounds:

• 15 sprawls, approx. 40 seconds
• squat hold, 40 seconds
• sprint snake

Tomorrow is the UTB, then Sunday is my rest day, and we’re going to Sea World with my family. Hello, dolphins!
