#ring pushups

SKILL - Max height box jump.

I got 90cms. Went to try for 113cms, but I kept psyching myself out before jumping. DAMN YOU BRAIN. I'll get you next time 113.

WOD

5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5 rep rounds of:

Thrusters (40/30 kgs)

Box jumps (24"/20")

Ring pushups

Burpees

Power cleans (40/30 kgs)

COMPLETED - 10.36 mins RX

This was an awesome workout! Short and sweet, but was sweating buckets and wasted by the end of it.

Thrusters - These got effing hard over the course of the rep rounds.

Box jumps - I'm getting used to the recycling technique for these, they save soo much time.

Ring pushups - Were OK. The hardest exercise out of all of them for me. The only rests I took during the WOD were during these.

Burpees - 

Power cleans - Sweet.

PALEO CHALLENGE - DAY 3

Meal 1 - Eggs, bacon, tomato, mushrooms

Meal 2 - Apple, almonds

Meal 3 - Eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tuna

Meal 4 - Apple, almonds

The WOD was mostly focused on strength today:

Overhead squats 5x3 to find max

5 minute AMRAP of ring pushups

Deadlifts 5x3 to find max

3 minutes AMRAP of double unders

Completed:

Overhead squats - 25kgs

Ring pushups - 31

Deadlifts - 105kgs

Double unders - 134

OHS - Felt good today. I did a lot of stretching and work with the dowel to get my form right first before hitting the bar.

Once I focused on sitting back and down with the squats (as opposed to bending my knees first) things seemed to fall into place and I was able to keep my weight on my heels.

At one scary moment I thought I heard something rip in my right shoulder during a rep, so racked the bar straight away and checked.. No pain. Everything felt ok. Even now, almost 10 hours after the workout, no pain.

Touch wood nothing flares up later..

Ring pushups - Sweet. The last time I did these, I could barely get 5 done! Stoked.

Deadlifts - Felt good. I know I can do more though, as I've done 125kgs at the box before for 3 reps.

I swept the footpath where I drag my tyre to clear all the stones, grit and sand off it.  The friction is incredible.  Every metre was a battle, and I nearly passed out several times.
