box squats 2 of 30
Planks 5 at 25sec avg.
Push ups 5 of max. 15avg.
This w/o completely kicked my butt. I never really have done much bodyweight conditioning in the past, this w/o reminded me why. When I started my push ups my arms were giving out too soon. I was only able to get to the 20 rep mark one time. I had to take a lot in between sets, and I even had to mix in my planks and box squats to finish the w/o. By my last 2 sets of push ups, at the end of the w/o, my arms were fine but my lower back could not take it. Spasms were present, but my body adapted well towards the end.
Holding the plank for 45sec was too tough for the lower back causing my upper body to spasm.
Box Squats, to my surprise, was the easiest of the 3. Only on the last set my lower back and legs spasmed.
Until my balance improves and my core becomes stronger bodyweight w/o's will all ways cause discomfort and be difficult for me. With all that said, I still enjoyed the w/o, it really pushed me to the limit. I have not been there for a while.
