The Mickey Mantle Workout

A quick workout but challenging for my weak upper body:

7 Pull-ups*
7 Dips*
7 Push-ups
15 Sit-ups
2 Rounds

15x3 Wall ball squats with :30sec rest

Seated cable Rows:
15x100
8x115
4x130

*Notes
The pull-ups and dips were done on a Gravitron set to 100 pounds. I would have done 7 rounds to honor the Mick but I was toast after the second set of push-ups. But they were GOOD push-ups--chest touching the floor on each one.

Wall ball squats - squat holding a 12 pound medicine ball at the chest, then throw it at a spot 10-11 feet up a wall coming out of the squat.

All-in-all a good day although I'm disappointed that my racquetball match was canceled. Hopefully we'll get to play next week.
