I was pretty sore getting into this workout. I did a quick shovel before heading in.
For strength today was a 5×5 Push Press at a challenging weight in 12 minutes. I always struggle with Push Press because I like to rebend, but I did okay this time and did my 5×5 at 85 pounds.
Today’s MetCon was a bit of a doozy. It was two movements with a descending rep scheme. The movements were double unders and full snatches. I can occasionally put together some dubs, but not consistently. So I went for single unders on the jump rope. The snatches were to increase 10 pounds each round as the reps decreased by 2.
So I did
200 single unders
10 snatches at 45#
150 singles
8 snatches at 55#
100 singles
6 snatches at 65#
50 singles
4 snatches at 75#
in 10:49. This was in the super scaled category. That was a little disappointing after going Rx yesterday, but still shows that I have a ways to go.
