This was seriously no joke. I missed watching the announcement live and got a text that just said… 800 double unders. Then some more details. My first thought was I can barely get 3 dubs in a row and they usually double the number for single unders. Fortunately that wasn’t the case!

Here is the actual 18.3 Rx
2 rounds for time:
100 double-under
20 overhead squats (115/80)
100 double-unders
12 ring muscle-ups
100 double-unders
20 dumbbell snatches (50/35)
100 double-unders
12 bar muscle-ups

*14 min time cap

Here’s what I did:

100 single-unders
20 overhead squats 45#
100 single-unders
12 pullups
100 single-unders
20 dumbbell snatches 50#
100 single-unders
12 pullups

*14 min time cap

My gym took some coaching license for our competition and made modifications to the scaling. I was going to attempt a scaled +(-) the scaled plus still had dubs so I was going to do those but the overhead squat weight was lower and had pull ups.

Anyway, I was going for 95# on the overhead squat. Let’s just say that was going to work. After 5 or 6 attempts I’d only completed 2 reps, I just couldn’t quite get low enough. So we stripped the plates and I finished the last 18 reps at the scaled weight of 45#. I didn’t get any more no reps!

No muscle ups here and not anywhere close! I did manage to get all 24 pull ups done with only 1 no rep! He didn’t really want to call it, so I just hopped up and did one more. It was mainly in sets of 2 or 3, but I got it done!

The 50# dumbbell snatch might be the biggest achievement of the morning. I wasn’t 100% sure I’d be able to do it, but it was only 10 per arm! I managed to get through with only one break and no no reps!

I made it through the first round and started all over! I was able to make it through the next 100 single unders and got 9 overhead squats done before hitting the time cap! My total was 573 reps!

I won’t have time, but I’m curious about what I could do if I attempted it scaled as written. Thoughts?
