Front Squat, Sledge Swings, KTE

afternoon

Crossfit Football workout for today: 6 sets of 4 Front Squats. Followed by Tabata intervals of sledgehammer swings, knees to elbows, sledgehammer swings

Front Squats: 95, 135, 185, 175, 175, 175
Got 185 up without failing but it was a little heavy to finish out the workout with. The sets of 175 felt pretty good

Tabata intervals:
Sledgehammer swings (16#): 11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 11, 11, 12
Knees to Elbows: 15, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 10
Sledgehammer swings (16#): 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 13, 14, 14

This workout destroyed my forearms. By the end of the knees to elbows I couldn't even hold onto the bar anymore. Combined with the sledgehammer swings, and I could barely use the pen to write down my reps. Rolled them out with a lacrosse ball after I got done though and they feel a lot better. The sledgehammer swings were a fun change of pace, overall an fairly hard workout, but fun.
