WOD

Complete as many rounds in twenty minutes as you can of:
65 Pound Thruster, 10 reps
10 Pull-ups

5 Rounds

Scaled weight to 45#. Used mix of jumping, band assisted, and real pullups. This is the first time I've done pullups in a while. My elbows have improved dramatically. It was also noticable that I was carrying 15lbs less. So - with that I was pleased.

I know the numbers were low. I also didn't do this last night - as I had said I would.

New goal - get more sleep. Once finals are over this will be easier. We are at the wire. It's 85 degrees again. Summer is knocking on the door.

Screw the weight. Form and attention to injury are more important in the long run. What good is it for you if you do a 65lb thruster today, and then have to sit out a week cause your elbow won't heal? Finals? Dang... I remember those... they suck! You have fun with that... :P

From the professor side - finals are easy! I've been playing a ton of spider solitaire while my victms suffer!!!!!

I agree with the weight. I really could have pushed through some more reps on this one though. I got a good night's sleep last night. This has been an issue for a couple of weeks.

I might tweak my diet some too - I think I need a few more calories.

I'm still waiting to hear the pitter patter of summer's feet... SOL's in 3, end of school in about 6. Ugh! Freakin' Old Dominion Law!

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
