Death to my legs

Monday:

800m run
50 thrusters 45#
40 burpees
60 situps
80 double unders
20 front squats 45#
400m run

25:44

The double unders are really coming together. The thrusters sucked, but I managed to get through the burpees without significant breaks. I just took a second to breathe and kept going after each rep. That last 400m run killed my legs.

Tuesday:

07:00:
Met up with a PLC girl and hit a quick WOD.

4 rft:
10 pull ups
20 squats
30 sit ups

12:50

Did the first and last rounds of pull ups without the band, but the burpees yesterday were killing my arms so I used the band for the second and third rounds. I don't know what it is about the taped pull ups at school, but I cannot kip my pull ups for the life of me there.

11:30:






















Completed the 30 back squats in 3-4 minutes. Tried to haul ass on the 1k but it hurt a lot. The Rx'd weight for the back squats was 225# so I guessed that the nearest women's weight would be 135#- basically something heavy that I could do for 30 reps. I thought the WOD would take 15+ minutes but I was surprised by how quickly I got through the back squats, so I kept it in my head that I wanted to do it in under 10 minutes. Goal met.

I figure I might as well go heavy and kill my legs since the Open WODs have been sucking and I'm not going to Regionals regardless- so I might as well make strength gains and not let the Open impede my training. Pissed I failed at PRing my 1RM Press. Should've had at least 90#. I wanted +100#
