Yesterday, I scaled back the Crossfit posted workout of the day to this:

3 Rounds, 10 reps each of:
Deadlifts (70kg)
Dips
Pullups
Thrusters (20# DB)

I was cursing by the end of the workout as usual, but I like them in a masochistic sort of way :) The only issue I foresee as causing a problem with these workouts is my low blood pressure. Normally, resistance training will cause an acute spike in BP (totally normal during a set). It’s also normal to go a little below your typical BP immediately following a spike. That’s where I get in trouble- my normal is already pretty low, so those drops result in dizziness, lightheadedness, blackouts in my field of vision, and nausea. I am going to stick with the workouts & see if my body adapts, but it may be something that keeps me from busting ass in good time on a lot of the workouts.

It’s ok- I think they’re starting to help with my lactic acid tolerance on the bike, and that’s the important part :)
