Thurs 03/05/18 (A Couple More of the Seeding Workouts for Rainhill's)
Skill
Max reps in one minute, pick two of below and do a minute of each:
Muscle Ups
If no MU’s, Pull Ups
If no PU’s, Jumping Pull Ups
Toes to Bar
If no TTB, Sit ups
HSPU
If no HSPU, Hand Release Push Ups
I chose Pull Ups and HRPU’s:
Pull Ups – 35
HRPU – 44
Decent numbers but could probably get a few more of each. During the pull ups I needed to chalk my hands at one point but hadn’t thought to have a chalk bucket near me which cost time
HRPU’s I went 20 unbroken at the start then had to drop to 10 + 10 + 4 but probably would’ve been better off doing 15’s. I am going to attempt some HSPU’s and see if I can string some kipping HSPU’s together, I can do a few strict but not sure how many and you have to do them with a pad in between 2 x 15kg plates so it’s a flat / even surface so will see. If I can, I’ll enter that as my score as HSPU’s rank higher than HRPU’s.
WOD – Viking Kelly
3 rounds for time:
20 calorie row
20 x Box Jumps – 24”
20 x Wall Balls
Time: 10:49
Absolute disaster on this, I was hoping for sub 9 minutes!
First round went well, paced myself well and got back on the rower around 2:40, I had set up my station quite close together for quicker transitions so I was kind of away from everyone else who was doing it (I was the only one in the class who actually needs the score for the competition seeding) and had my rower next to my box and just slightly away from my wall ball target. During the end of my wall balls, someone else jumped on my rower! I was then trying to tell her that I needed the rower but she looked at me blankly and had to tell her I needed it for the comp, all wasting energy and breath when I was already panting for air and trying to finish my WB’s
The coach asked if I could use another rower that was free but I’d set the drag factor and foot straps so wanted to use the same one. Anyway, she got off but then during the second round, someone else got on it! Again had to tell them I needed the rower and my mind was just on that then and I just lost focus. Started missing wall ball shots that were getting high enough but not hitting the target and my head just went and I felt absolutely gassed out, one of my mates from the gym said the colour just drained out of me and I just went white
Going to do it again as I know I can do much better, next time I’ll do it in my own time though and make sure no-one else is around to nick my rower
