Friday's Workout

Strength Skill:
  • Strict Weighted Pull-ups (5-5-5-3-3)
I went no further than 30 pounds over my bodyweight today -- it's nowhere close to my PR from New Year's Eve, but I wasn't about to go crazy today. Fight Gone Bad is just a day away!


Metcon:
  • 50 double-unders
  • 30 overhead kettlebell swings (24kg / 16kg)
  • 40 double-unders
  • 25 overhead kettlebell swings (24kg / 16kg)
  • 30 double-unders
  • 20 overhead kettlebell swings (24kg / 16kg)
  • 20 double-unders
  • 15 overhead kettlebell swings (24kg / 16kg)
  • 10 double-unders
  • 10 overhead kettlebell swings (24kg / 16kg)
I grabbed a 24kg kettlebell, but I knew that with my ankle sprain, the double-unders remain a no-go. I experimented with some one-legged double-unders before the WOD began, but heeding Tim's advice to not be stupid, I decided to go with single-unders on my right leg instead. Scaling, however, meant having to do 3 singles for every double.

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to attempt 450 single-legged rope jumps, and not surprisingly, it took forever.

Result: 13:03
