12.4.10: Hike, Box Squat, Bench Press

In the morning I went on a 6 or 7 mile hike at Redwood Regional Park on Redwood Road with Alex.  Such a beautiful place so close to home!

In the afternoon I worked out with Joe:
Played around with Joe's new bands and box squats.  Worked up to 135#x2 w/ "Average" strength band, 135#x2 w/ the average and the mini-band.
Bench Press: 135x5, 155x5, 160x5, 135x12
Seated box jump up to 38 1/2"
Glute-Ham Raises 2x12


Addison Road's "What Do I Know of Holy?"

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?

12-3-2010: 30 Muscle Ups

30 Muscle ups for time: 15:57.

I had a chance to finish at 14:55 but failed, then failed again at 15:25 before finishing.  At 2:20 I did 10, at 8:10 I was at 20, 12:01 I was at 25.  I failed I think 5 times around my 11th rep.  Definitely could have gone a bit faster but I'm really pleased.  First time finishing this as RX'd!  I used a kind of modified false-grip.  It wasn't a full false-grip, but I had the rings going through my palms rather than my fingers...still need to work on that transition.
