The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden, heaven is a playground.
- GK Chesterton
Fun, fun, fun. Not that this new training cycle isn't fun, but hey, there is a time to work and a time to play ;)! This week I have some new things that I want to try during active recovery and rest. I feel good after this first cycle.
Skill:
Rope climbs & drills
4x4 Rope Waves & Pulls Battling Rope Workout
Perform each 4x4 set with no rest in between exercises and 60-90 sec rest in between sets.I did the rounds for 45 seconds and 15 to adjust to next movement with 60 sec rest between sets.
Ropes are a new thing for me and this was my first go at it. Very fun! I used a lighter rope and kept my heart-rate mid range as this is de-load week and I am not suppose to be on the ground for any reason.
