This past cycle has proven to be quite challenging. Started off with some 1 arm kettlebell snatches, which always effs my arms up for about a week because of bruises...then done an absolute lung buster Sunday of 3 rounds, 20 front squat(95#) ,20 pull-ups, and a 400m run. All work was done unbroken ,and the runs were really slow due to my still screwed up ankle from spraining it...stopped the clock in 10:05. Yesterday I done OHS max, and an AMRAP in 12 of 10 push ups, 10 SDHP @75#...OHS was my nemesis yesterday. I worked up to 265#, and squatted it several times, but never stabilized it at the top of the squat long enough to suit my self to call it a legit squat(I think I squatted it 4 or 5 times). Then I got pushed head first into a brutal met-con challenge. A lady at the box had gotten 14 rounds of the AMRAP in 12 WOD, whish is solid, so the gauntlet had been thrown! THAT BEING SAID...
Those of you who know me, know that if someone does something tough , or has a blistering time on a WOD, it is in my nature to see how I compare. Not necessarily to beat the person, but to beat the challenge I have put forth myself.. I was able to get 16 full rounds in, all of the push ups, plus 4 SDHP. That was a very deceiving little WOD , to say the least. It was one of those ones that you really wanted to take 5 seconds to just stop moving and catch your breath, but really didn't need to because you knew you could push through it and just keep moving, and the lady that got 14 rounds was coaching me through it so I couldn't be a complete puss!
