Training Day 11

Skill Practice:

100 Double Unders

There was no specific time on this, but now that I'm comfortable with the actual double unders themselves, I decided to just take my time and do 100 reps. My streak is now increased to 20 in a row!

1st WOD:

30 Back Extensions
25 Snatches @ 45lbs

Time - 17:01

Definitely exposed another weakmess on this workout. My snatches were fine at this weight, but my forearms are going to have to take some getting used to. I was able to crank out 25 reps in a row on the first set, so I can bump up the weight next time. Luckily though I was consistent with the remaining sets doing 10, 10, and 5 of my rep counts. And of course back extensions weren't anything to worry about. Only thing different is I increased my rep count by 5 since last time.

2nd WOD:

AMRAP in 20 Min:
25 Burpees
30 Sit Ups
25 Cleand and Press @ 55lbs

Results - 2 Rounds + 20  Clean and Press

So let's just get the obvious out of the way and move on shall we? Burpees suck. Moving on! Sit Ups weren't too bad. Got a little fatigued in the second round but managed to keep on moving. The clean and presses were the villain in this story. I've finally reached a point where 25 reps couldn't be completed continuously. So I ended up doing my typical 10, 10, 5 rep count in each one. This workout made me dog tired. But I'm glad I did it because it just keeps making me better.

Workout Note: I'm also happy about the fact I decided to put in some skill work at the beginning of my workouts each day as opposed to practicing at the end. I don't think I would have had the energy or motivation to practice double unders at the end of the day.

Until tomorrow,

Pat
