There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

CFSB Day 133

We ditched the standard warmup today in favor of some mobility work and partner medicine ball drills. I used to do a fair bit of these types of drills in kung fu class, so it was easy peasy for me (and not much of a warmup). After that, just prepped for some OHS and got to it.

WOD:

  • 10 Overhead Squats (135lb)
  • 50 Double Unders

Repeat 3x

Time: 12:54. The good news is that my foot felt fine. The bad news is that this should have been about a 5 minute workout for me. To put it in perspective, I finished the first round in 1 minute with everything unbroken. The second round I had to do 3 sets to complete the OHS, DUs were 25/25. Third set had 7 (seven!) failed attempts where I cleaned the bar up, got it behind my head, push pressed it overhead, only to fail to complete a single rep. My form just broke down and it was a real mess. Last set of DUs was unbroken.

I think the past few weeks of training has really exposed the main weaknesses in my crossfit game: muscle-ups, handstand pushups, and overhead squats. I’m formulating a plan to focus on these for the next 30 days.
