Wheaton WOD

Worked out today with Dr. Peter Walters, an applied health science associate professor at Wheaton College, IL, and his daughter Corey. He is also a powerlifter and currently training for a triathlon and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro... among other things!

Wheaton's got a great gym, and it was fun working out together.  Got some great ideas of things to do back in Chiang Mai, and Peter generously gave me a weightlifting belt and some straps.  He said I have thick ankles and am thick so would make a good powerlifter.  I'll take that as the compliment it was. :-)

We did overhead squats and then a few other things -- including a crazy floor wiper exercise pushing a towel along the floor of the basketball gym.

Great fun, and a GREAT host.  Thanks Peter and Corey!

Six rounds of this was a LOT harder than it looks!

(For those of you counting plates, that's 100 kg / 220 lbs for this set.  The next set was 140 kg / 308 lbs. I was happy with my set of 65 kg/144 lbs.)
