300 Workout series - Round 2 Sandbag edition

Its been over 2 weeks. So lets have another go at this thing. Only this time lets bump up the intensity.

I've been having a rough time balancing energy with the new job and still getting some solid training in. Lately I've only been at it 2-3 times a week and usually am too gassed to get some of the more intense work in. Good news is my shoulder feels like its starting to heal. Back is somewhat ok. And I am down a whole 15lbs! Weighed in today at 245. About 2 months ago was about 260. So hopefully I can get a decent routine established, manage my energy (waking up at 4am is a bitch at first), and keep my diet in check and sufficient. But, anyways, onto the workout of the day...teehee- WOD.

300 reps

25 kb swings - 2x40lbs
50 sandbag squats - 45lbs
50 sandbag presses - 45lbs
50 burpees (seriously, fuck these)
50 sandbag rows - 80lbs
50 overhead sledge hits - 18.5lbs (threw a 2.5lb plate on the handle)
25 kb swings - 2x40lbs

Total time- 19:10
Damn thats embarrassing. The heavier swings using two kbs instead of one really set the tone and made an impact. I think that changed the everything for the worse. Not to mention presses were heavier, sandbag was almost twice as heavy, and sledge was 2.5 heavier than original bout.

...and fuck burpees. They can go to hell.
