    3 rounds:
    10 second samson stretch each leg

    WOD:
    Overhead Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps ( 135 - 155 - 165 - 205 fail - 195 - 200 )
    Failed on 205 because I couldn't push press it above my head. I should have tried again, but I was scared to drop the weight from above my head. I lowered the weight to 195 and got that easily. I decided to try for 200 and do an extra set and I got it! PR.

    Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps ( 115 - 135 - 165 - 185 - 190 )
    Really need to focus on squeezing the cheeks together. Some reps were a lot easier than others.

  • 100 L pullups Workout

    M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
    As Rx: 9:30
    Pretty much no warm up.. just a few minutes of basic stuff in my home before leaving to the playground to bang this WOD out.
    I did this last night, a little rainy, on a totally dark jungle gym metal monkey bars.
    The rainy part kind of effected my grip, but it wasn't too bad.
    I conciously broke them up into smaller sets to allow my rest/ break between working to be very little time. Less rest more work time is the key for me. If I go to failure, to get those extra couple reps will mean resting too much and then not being able to really push the whole time.
    I rested for about 1 minute or so maybe 2 then did a D.U. ladder going from 5050 (5,10,15,20,..50) in 5:10
    I need to slightly lengthen my jumprope I think.. I was o.k. if the sets were broken since it ws just a burner really. I normally can do lots of DUs unbroken but that number has gone down lately. I'm going to have to start back on working the DUs Post WOD I think.
    For me, I was kind of leaning back a little bit when doing the L pullups, and I really did not feel my midline/ core too much. I was feeling it in my back mostly, even though I did a bunch of GHDs on my last workout.
