Work Capacity 101

Today I did Work Capacity 101 from Ross Enamaits Infinite Intensity, it was scaled to my ability such has only doing 5 burpees instead of 15 and less pull-ups (I did jumping pull-ups).

But I did manage to keep within the every 2 minute protocol like it's supposed to be done. This routine is very demanding and I could have easily given up at any time, I had to really push myself through this one.

Here is a little info on work capacity:

"1.1. Physical work capacity

Physical work capacity is the ability to perform maximal physical work. As it is a function of the intensity and duration of work, each individual has many different capacities such as anaerobic, aerobic and endurance capacity, each with its own limiting factors. In practice, aerobic work capacity (VO2 max) is the capacity most often considered."

And here is the whole article:

I also performed a finisher today, I did 50 squats for time and finished it in 1 minute and 5 seconds, this type of training is brief yet very effective.

This sort of routine forces you to push through the fatigue and is very challenging both mentally and pysically. Two weeks ago such a workout would have left me for dead but now I am getting fitter and stronger all the time, I no longer dread such workouts, instead I look forward to them.

The gains I am making are incredible, I just hope they continue! Although I say all this their is still a long way to go, I have only reached 1 goal so far (2 pull-ups)so I cannot afford to get too carried away with myself.

I am still working on my diet but it is a work in progress.

Thanks for reading.
