B) 12:10 – Did banded Strict Pullups (still working on them… I can only do 3-5 at a time.)

Great job, Todd! What’s going on with the pull-ups? Are you able to do some strict?

Yeah started each round with 4-5 but wanted to keep moving. Pull-Ups is my Achilles for sure, still working those negatives though and getting better.

Only had 30 mins this evening but got some good work in…
20 minutes to a heavy C&J–Worked up to 255, got the clean but not the Jerk, heaviest Jerk was 245. Also did 5 C2B PUs between every set, so 55 in all. Just glad I got something done, I’m ready to be done working on the road!

A) 235, 255, 265, 275, 287 (f) this would have tied a PR
B) 11:42 Rx

Part B felt good on the first few rounds, pull ups are normally a strength but I just felt dead and it slowed me down, double unders were ok today

I had 30 mins today. So it was Jerk or WOD. I chose WOD

B. 9:54

PP – 15/10,5/5,5,5
PU – 5 then 3’s,/3 then singles/singles
DU – UB, 15,15 – 20,10

Pull ups are a weakness, so this was obviously a great WOD for me to work on a weakness!!!

For those of you who are still working toward consistent double-unders, for Part B today, consider giving yourself 45-60 seconds per round to work on them for AMRAP. That way you get to practice them in a workout but they aren’t slowing you down.

Active Rest Day
Stretching
Practiced double unders for 10 minutes. Worked on my tempo. I am getting better but need to slow my hands down. I string together about 7-10 and start speeding my hands up which causes me to mess up. Going to start practicing them every day moving forward.
