WOD

Erin

The Porch:
Three rounds for time of:
40 pound Dumbbells split clean, 15 reps
21 Pull-ups

Time - 24:50

I didn't have the dumbbells so I did 95# on the OLY. I also did hang squat cleans since I need to work those. Pullups ate my time! By the third round I was doing 2 and resting 30 secs.

I understand the feeling when you hit the wall and have to slow down the workout for a particular movement like you did for the pull ups. burpees used to kill me in this way. after two in a row i had to take 10-20 seconds before trying a few more. good job getting through the wod!

i wonder if it would be more beneficial to sub jumping pull-ups after you can't do anymore pull ups in order to maintain the pace for the metcon factor of the wod? not sure about this since as rx'd seems to be the goal, but i wonder if too much time between reps is not as productive.

Sometimes I sub, sometimes I push through. I really just go with my gut feeling. Sometimes I start off with a push-through attitude and scale down midway...

Anyway - I made it through. Thanks!

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!
