notes: this is one more full round than last time we did this one.
Pukie gave me a hug and a squeeze around the 19th round, but with sheer will and an iron gut I punched him in the face and he left me alone. After I was done, he sat next to me on my plyobox, and put his stanky arm around me again so I just laid down. No pukie for me this time, but I really wanted to.
Last time I got 23, I used a low pull up bar, and used my feet the arrest my decent to help my shoulder heal. That probably helped keep my energy up.
Buy in 3x - 25’ inch worm walk - 2 for. rolls - 10 box jumps
cash out - rescued a baby white wing dove from the water and put it back in it’s nest.
when I tossed my towel over the clothes line, it startled out of the nearby nest.
“Thrusters and Double-unders”
Pack:
Five rounds for time of:
55 pound Thrusters, 21 reps
21 Tuck jumps
1:48, 3:56, 4:37, 7:32, 5:17 = 23:09
I’m pretty sure that I did 28 thrusters in round 4 (had broken thrusters into sets of 7 and wasn’t sure if I counted the sets right, so did an extra one).
This one was brutal.
This will be my first repeat of a WOD, but I did a screwy scaling the first time. I did 12 minutes AMRAP of 5 pullups (1/2 BW assisted!), 10 pushups, 15 squats.
So, should I repeat that scaling (with pullup progression this time) to get a comparison, or do the puppies scaling to set a new baseline?
“Mary”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups
I had to scale this a bit even though it was a “Big Dawg” WOD.
This looked easier on paper then it actually was. I have not been this fatigued after a work out in a long time as I was with this one.
5 Handstand Push-ups
5 One legged squats, alternating - These were more progressions, just going till my butt touched the bench.
5 Pull-ups - Dead hang pull-ups and chin-ups
Total of 6 rounds in 19:18
Last go around was 5 rounds in 18:07 and had to do more assisted pull-ups and one legged squats. I wasn’t so fatigued afterwards this time like I was before…noticable improvement!
Warm up was
115 jump rope jumps
10 dive bombers
20 sit ups
5 pull-ups
general stretching
Cool down was
5 full extgension of the ab wheel on my knees
40 crunches
100 jump rope jumps
Just curious, why do we not want to sub jumping pullups? I could do a few rounds at the strict 3, but after I bit I would need some assistance, and in my garage, jumping is about all I can do.
I’m sure there is a good reason, I’m just curious.
