Today was just an "off" day. From the time I got to the office, to the time the work day was over, I felt off kilter and unbalanced. Payroll went semi-smoothly, but by the end of the day I wanted a cigarette so badly I almost caved.
1 stair run
10 push ups
10 jump squats
10 clean & jerks w/barbell
10 v ups
8 rounds
Ummmm seriously! Holy crap! Okay, we've never done the clean and jerks with a barbell before and we only did the dumb bell clean and jerks once. So I hit the web (as much as my work computer and my little Blackberry would allow) and researched the SHIT out of those things. The Trainer was on vacation today and it obviously was not a P1 day so I couldn't ask the other two certified trainers we have! We were on our own!
Needless to say, no matter how much research I had done and no matter how much reading I had done, it was not enough to safely do or teach my partner how to do them. So we switched (after the 2nd round) the clean and jerks for push presses.
Not the best substitute, I'm sure, but at least it was something and we didn't just totally skip that one step in the workout.
It kicked my ass and then I went and got a chocolate shake. Life is good today.
