Sweaty Sunday

skill wod:
1st minute
-1 butterfly pull up
-1 push jerk           (50kg)
2nd minute
-2 butterfly pull ups
-2 push jerks
....and so on until unable to complete the required reps for that minute.
My score= 7 rounds/ 4 pull ups

Basically i sucked balls, as you can see on the eighth minute i gave up... something no one wants to admit, but i am. I could very well have left it off this post and pretend it never happened, but whats the point? If you're going to share your training with others, you should include everything. WIN or FAIL. Butterfly pull ups are something i need to work on if i am to be any good in this sport, today i was flailing around and couldn't link any together. The push jerk is a move i have rarely done, today i went light just to work on technique. Similarly to pull ups, i was stuck between something of a push press and an overhead squat, they did not look pretty, rarely linked and my arms blew out early. The idea of a push jerk is to push the weight up off the rack, move under and catch it with locked out arms, finally using your legs to stand tall and finish out the rep. A move normally reserved for that heavier weight, one that you can't simply press overhead.

100's wod:
100 walking lunges with bar racked  (40kg)
My time= 6:10

This was good, was able to get to thirty pretty quick but from then on it seemed that 7 was the number. By 7 more reps you were getting close to the other side of the room, would drop it, turn your body around and keep going. This wod killed your legs and also your upper back from keeping the bar racked with high elbows. Try this if you are one who struggles with keeping your elbows high while the bar i racked on your shoulders. As soon as those elbows come down, the bar wants to pull your entire body forward and seriously messes with your rhythm.

Wod:
Amrap 7 minutes:
-1 hang clean   (28kg)
-1 squat clean  (28kg)
(1 round)
-2 hang cleans
-2 squat cleans etc...
(every minute on the minute- 3 burpees)
My score=8 rounds/14

This workout was the box's Friday WOD. I was pretty dead but thought i would give it a go since it was only 7 minutes and a light weight. Got up to 8 rounds/14 reps (that's completing 9 hang cleans and getting to 5 squat cleans). Not a great score but it certainly did the trick of sweating out all that crap i consumed on the weekend. Looking forward to a healthy/hard week of training ahead.
