Day 2 of the Spartan Workout

Ok, so I finished my second workout of the Spartan Warrior Workout Ultimate Workout Challenge (I gotta come up with a shorter name for that).  Here was the workout today:

-***Pushup Ladder Set with 20 Pound Weight Vest: 10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1; done with minimal rest
-Forward Lunge; 3 sets of 30 seconds alternating legs; 2x35 pound dumbbells
-Floor Wiper: 3 sets of 10; 135 pounds
-Dead Clean: 3 sets of 10; 40 pound dumbbell for the first set, then 45 pound dumbbell for the other two
-***Car Lift: 6 sets of 10
-***Strides: 4x150 yards

Thoughts:
-Pushup: Not that bad; doing it with a 20 pound weight vest made the 7-5 pushups a bit harder.
-Forward Lunge: Very easy.  I wasn't challenged at all.
-Floor Wiper: This is a more complicated move, as you have to hold up a barbell while lying flat on the floor; bring your straight legs to one side then bring your legs back down; repeat to the other side.  That is 1 rep.  It was a bit challenging, but only because it was new.  I'm going to add a lot more weight next time.
-Dead Clean: The dead clean is SO much easier than the press.  I still had to stop a few times because it's a big cardiovascular movement as well, but overall I really enjoyed it.
-Car lift: This is a substitute for the Tire Flip.  What I did was lift the back of my car until my wheels weren't taking any of the weight of the car.  Then I held it for a second, and released.

Here is the car I lifted:

Be jealous...

-Strides: An extra of mine.  Really easy; it was just to flush the toxins out.

Extra:

I did a Reiki Treatment on myself later today.  Basically it helps me recover faster.  For more information, click here to learn more about Reiki.

My overall thoughts: it was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.  I'm going to up the intensity tomorrow.  That's not to say that I didn't sweat.

Let's see Gerard Butler look this good!

Tomorrow: time to kick it up a few notches.
