Warmup:
5 rounds
15 double unders
5 chest to bar pullups
Mobility:
90s per leg of shin to wall
5 rounds for time
7 kb thrusters 55#
11 burpees
7:04
Notes: subbed dumbbells for kb. Thrusters were significantly harder than I thought they would be. Did the first round unbroken then did the remaining sets of thrusters broken up into 4 and 3. Did some more double under work after the WOD. Strung together 15 and 16 in a row. Noticing a marked improvement in my double unders - as I string more together I feel like I'm moving my hands and wrists less and less and actually expending less effort than when I used to struggle to string 2 together. When I got into a rhythm, stringing 10+ together I felt like the jump rope handles were only moving in the circumference of say a quarter (like the coin) and I also felt like I was barely holding onto the handles as far as grip pressure goes. Gonna concentrate on that next time I work on them, see if that helps at all.
very impressive time, man. well done!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Did it with a friend from work and I think that made all the difference. He finished a few mins after me but just having someone else going through the pain with you makes it easier to push yourself harder.
ReplyDeleteis that a 55# kb in each hand or just one?
ReplyDeleteI assume each hand. That's what I did with the dumbbells.
