WOD
Five rounds of:
15' Rope climb, max reps in 3 minutes
Scale to - Grab Rings overhead, start in squat position, jump & touch chest. 3 reps = 1 rope climb rep
Reps
42 - 35 - 33 - 36 - 34
So I imagined myself burning out by the third round, but I was actually able to power through this one OK. Kevin gave us some amazing stretches to do afterward, which likely save my wrists, forearms, and chest. He said we likely couldn't tell, but the compression of our chest to get up to the rings was intense, and without the stretch we would feel it hard (I'll likely be feeling it hard no matter what).
Also a great warmup today. I feel more confident rowing, especially for shorter spurts like 500m. I average around 1:50 per round, but depending on what else is in the warmup I easily go over 2 minutes (I didn't pay attention to the exact times today). Here's what we did:
(2 Rounds)
500m row
10 Pushups
10 GHD Situps
10 Hip Extensions
10 Overhead Squats (PVC)
10 Pullups (Scale to Ring Rows)
All in all a decent Monday. With tomorrow being a rest day I might ask to do one of the previous metcons, as I'm itching to tackle a big one that is way out of my comfort zone.
I need to get some bonus posts in about some amazing things I've been reading, on the web in general, but more specifically in the Crossfit Journal. If you haven't subscribed yet it will be the best $2 a month you ever plunked down. More on this soon...so many directions to choose from. I've been nerding out on this shit hard.
For now...peace...
