Catch up

I forgot to post about a couple of WOds last week, so time to catch up.

Thursday we did some prep for 12.3. But we started off with strength of 5x5 deadhang pull-ups and 5x5 ring dips. Ideally these were weighted, but I'm far from adding weight. I'd actually like to lose weight to make these easier. I did the pull-ups on the red band for the first two sets then went to the blue band. For the ring dips I tried the first one of every set unassisted then went to purple for all the other reps. Still need to work on static holds for this!

Next, was on to prep for 12.3. We did:
4:00 AMRAP
12 Push Jerk (75#)
6 T2B
1:00 Rest
2:00 AMRAP
Box Jumps (20") Open standards

I believe I got almost 4 rounds in the first amrap then I got 47 box jumps. the bar felt heavy and my kip for my T2B was on and off. Some were good, some were just awful. I've been doing box jumps to this standard since regionals last year, so I was pretty comfortable with that. Ovearll it gave me an idea of how to pace 12.3 on Sunday.

Friday, I took the day off work to go to the Dr. I've had a pretty persistant cough since the beginning of February, and my boss finally told me to take the day off and go to the dr. so that was pretty sweet. Finally got some antibiotics and the cough is almost gone.

Decided to hit up the 9:30AM class since I had school and night. It's been the first Friday workout I've had in awhile. But it was nice to get a workout in, in the morning.

Strength: Front Squat. Don't remember my numbers, but I know the last set felt heavy and was fought for.

WOD:
250M Row
50 Double Unders
25 Sit-ups (GHD)
250M Row
50 Double Unders
25 Back Extensions (GHD)
250M Row
50 Double Unders
25 Russian Twists (14# ball)
10:38

Loved this WOD. It was written on the board with regular ab mat sit-ups and floor back extensions. But I wanted an extra challenge since I can fly through those easily, so I went up and used the GHD. Definitely glad I did that because it gave that extra push. Double unders were pretty good, just my calves were tired from the box jumps the night before and my shoulders have really been tiring on those! Overall great wod!
