Rowing Sandwhich

Kind of sleepy today and another boring day on the job, makes for a long day. Doesn't help that I'm super excited for this weekend, so that's all I can think about!

Strength/Speed: 2 cleans @ 50% of 1RM OTM for 12:00 - 32.5kg

I was super stoked about this strength today. I've really been working on my second pull, dropping under the bar fast, and getting my elbows around fast. So this speed work was perfect. My legs got a little tired at the end from all the wall balls yesterday, but really enjoyed this today. Even if it was 97.7 degrees in the Fort!

WOD:
500m row
50 pull-ups
500m row

9:05

I wasn't looking forward to this, due to the heat/humidity and how much it would suck holding onto the bar and I didn't want to tear my hands. So I made some "gymnastic grips" out of tape. My rowing has kind of gone down hill and I'm not as efficient as I used to be. Need to get back on track with that. My pull-ups were in sets of 3 and 2 all the way through with a couple sets of 4 in there. I couldn't hold onto the bar for long it was so slippery even with the grips. The bar was so hot that it like melted the tape and left some residue on the bar. oops..I tried getting it off. Not the greatest time, but happy I didn't tear my hands!

Cash out: 3 x max handstand hold 1:00/:45/:54 and lots of mobility

that coconut milk ice cream was delish. I used agave instead of the palm sugar. but it totally hit the spot since I've been craving ice cream like crazy on these hot days!
