being lazy

So I've been lazy lately and am not keeping up with my workouts, so here they are:

Friday 12/08
WOD:
400m run
21,15,9,15,21
-American KB swings  (28kg)
-dying cockroaches
-double unders
400m run
My time: 12:45

Monday 15/08
WOD 1:
4 minute AMRAP
-5 pull ups
-6 weighted get ups (10kg)
-7 double unders
My score: 3/14

Weighted Get Ups are my most hated movement, there isn't one part of your body that isn't hurting during/after them. It is essentially getting up any way you can while you keep the weighted bumper plate above your head the entire time. Especially taxing on your shoulders, core and the one part of your ass you "fall" down on!

WOD 2:
4 rounds for time:
-10 pull ups
-15 weighted get ups (10kg)
-20 double unders
My time: 14:08

Tuesday 16/08
WOD:
5 rounds for time:
-5 Handstand Push ups
-10 front squats              (35kg)
-15 double unders
My time: 22:26

In true crossfit style I did this workout in my folks garage, late at night after work. There was something so liberating and peaceful about this setting. I managed to find a skipping rope, an old barbell Tim and I used to bench with during our "get big" stage and a bare wall; more than enough to work with. The squats and skipping were a breeze, but they were enough to elevate my heart rate for the handstands. This was by far the most time consuming movement, and one I really need to improve. In saying that i still managed to complete 25 of those bad boys by the end of the workout.
