Default Strength Endurance

AMRAP, 1 Minute per exercise, rest at end of circuit and as needed within the circuit. All Exercises except A6 were done with a 30 lb dumbbell.

A Circuit x 3
A1 Goblet Squat
A2 Core Twist
A3 Arm Curls
A4 One Arm Swings (30 Secs per arm)
A5 Half Squat with Overhead Press
A6 Curl-ups (no weight)
A7 Core Push Press
A8 Squat with Upright Row (30 Secs per arm)
A9 Row (30 Secs per arm)

A1 Goblet Squat - I think yesterday's spinning class took its toll. These were tougher today, and it took some effort not to good morning out of the hole.

A2 Core Twist - Must keep my mind on the task, lest balance suffer.

A3 Arm Curls - Another good one, but best to be on the watch for hip help.

A4 One Arm Swings (30 Secs per arm) - I need to figure out how many of these I can do in 30 secs, because looking at the clock and doing the exercises like this, and A8, and A9 gets to be a bit problematic.

A5 Half Squat with Overhead Press - Dying on these today - not sure what happened here.

A6 Curl-ups (no weight) - Roughly the same as last time.

A7 Core Push Press - This is going pretty well, but was very thankful when the end of the third set came.

A8 Squat with Upright Row (30 Secs per arm) - Lots to think about here, standing up straight, doing a full squat, and rowing high enough. Two out of three still is bad.

A9 Row (30 Secs per arm) - As noted, I've been transitioning to doing a set number of reps rather than looking at the clock. 25 for this one.

Overall - Whatever mojo I had on Monday was gone today. Endurance was still good, but strength was tough to come by. A1, A5, and A7 (particularly the first two) were difficult to get through with good form. Based on today's performance, I'll stick to the 30 lb dumbbell next time and see if I can cut the rests between circuits to a minute, 30 seconds.
