Comments on At-Home Workout: Rows, Push-Ups and Squats
M/ 45/ 135 lbs
This was the first time I've really done a Cindy and treated it competitively in a long time. I started my CF experience doing this one at least 1 time every other week to see if I could continuously improve. I did. My PR was 31 rounds.
This time I did 30. I was very happy with that. In my head I said I needed to complete 24. When I did that I looked down and had about 6 minutes left so I went all out to try to get 28 and then had about 2 minutes and banged out the last 2 rounds in time.
I don't go out hard on 20 minute AMRAPs, but I know this one well and just went out faster than I thought, and wanted to just keep up.
At 45 I did almost as well as I did on my PR when I was probably about 35. Glad I pushed myself. I feel good about this one for sure... AND with no music. I have been training with no music for about 2 months and like it. No hiding. Just exposed with my thoughts and doubts. Face yourself and the workout at the same time!
Simple. Effective. Scalable.
I don't like push ups from knees and typically suggest doing them off the safety bar on squat rack, plyo boxes or similar. I think it's more productive in long run and you can see progress if you occasionally test a lower position.
