This week at practice my team and I focused on our stamina/endurance. To do that we did a lot of cardio conditioning along with mixing cardio into our event rotations. For warm up we sprinted 5 miles around the gym and then we went straight to bars where we did 100 pull ups without coming down and 100 chin up without coming down. After that we ran 20 laps around the floor and did our stretching. After stretching we went to our first event and did a workout my coach called the mean 18 workout. The mean 18 workout is when you start with a routine and after the routine we ran 18 laps around the floor, 18 pull up, and 18 chin ups. We repeated that 18 times doing a total of 18 routines. We did the mean 18 work out for all four events. The purpose of running 18 laps after each routine is so we are out of breath when we are doing our next routine which builds up our stamina /endurance. We kept track of how many mistakes we made on each event and for each mistake we had to do 25 crunches, 25 v ups, 25 leg squats with a 25 pound weight.
After we did all that we did our conditioning which was 18 of 18 different exercises 18 times. The struggles I had this week was that I was very exhausted by and super sore. I was also kind of stressed out because our first competition is coming up in a few weeks.
