WOD

Puppies:
Complete as many rounds in 15 minutes as you can of:
3 Pull-ups (or 3 Beginner Pull ups)
12 Push-ups (or box push ups)
21 Squats

6 rounds.

Some real pullups, some with band. I got a few kips in! I went to a park that has a 9 ft. pullup bar, so I felt free to swing away! The pushups were better than ever. The first 3 rounds of pushups were unbroken. This is a big gain for me.

This reminds me of something that Jerry always says. There's something about being up higher that enables you to kip better. Probably because to keep jumping down would be a waste of time. It also prevents you from putting your feet down at all. If you can, maybe you should keep going for some practice on the tall bar. It might help. Just a thought...

My issue is that my standing flat reach is 8'5"! Stretch me out on my toes and I'm right at 9' long! When I'm on a lower bar, I literally CAN'T kip. You should see me do pullups on my door gym - it's hilarious.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I'm only 6 foot and don't have that tall look but I like the high bar at the park for pull-up WODs.

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!
