18:33. Good first round for a 15minute target but the wheels fell off. Lumbar started to bark with 2nd DL 1st rd 4:25 2nd rd 6:35 3rd rd 7:33 hope you are back to 100% quick Mack
21:06 was hoping for sub 20 but totally imploded on the 3rd round of box jumps and chins. Stayed steady on the first round with 50 consecutive jumps followed by 16/5 on the DL and 20/5/5 for the chins and was a just over 5 minutes.
Initially not happy with that time but, being at the hall, it's hard to expect too much. My box was an adjustable bench propped up on a few step-chocks and it was out on the apparatus floor. Deads weren't the worst but pull-ups (crappy bent bar) started to feel like CTB or a strength workout at the end so they were slowww. What do ya do?
Unreal effort, Mike Fitz, sub-15 is sweeeet. I'd ask for a do-over on this one at OPT but I never want to see it again.
Thanks for the advice for those that got an early start. I was shooting to beat 20 minutes today. Concentrating with a fast start was my first objective. After the first round, the goal was to maintain my momentum.
nice work Fitz. Aucoin your working out at hall stories are hilarious. I would love to be a fly on the wall when you are trying to figure out how to set it up.
Had to use 25.5" box jumps That f*&ked me up at that height. (who would think that 1.5" was sush a difficult distance to overcome?) DL was 186.5#
4:50 first round. Then painfully slow after that. Wish I had someone to push me on this one as the head was getting in the way. Sub 20 was very achievable, just not today :( Have felt like a having a dance with Pukie for the last 1/2 hour.
20:42 (135# DL) Since getting a nasty cold 2 wks ago I seem to be having trouble digging in even though I'm feeling better. Your comments made this sound like a good one for mental tenacity.
rnd 1 - stumbled and hit my shin 2x, 24in box seemed like 30in, ready to pack it in... Rnd 2 was faster than 1, and 3 was the fastest in spite of cu's being quite broken. It was good to work thru the wanting to 'pack it in' part...
First time posting. I've been lurking around for a while and doing some of the WOD's here and there. Thanks for all of the great info, it's great to get your thoughts on Nutrition and Programming!!
Time on WOD, done after Heavy Deads: 12:04, over 2 mins better than the last time I did this
I am happy with this time, this wod scared me, box jumps are a weakness of mine but i am very happy with my improvement (plus i have gained 14lbs since the games last yr). For the record i did 10 step ups to start the last round to catch my breath, OPT correct me if I am wrong please but they are legal and its the same ammount of work being done?
28 degrees? Like you're outside in that soup, FitzGerald.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was almost starting to miss you.

ReplyDeleteGetting over a cold. Was gasping hard on first set of BJ. 0 energy
16:23 pull ups were slow.
ReplyDeleteVery mental workout, the # of reps is daunting, but they are manageable if you dig in.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to do the box jumps faster but my brain just wouldn't let me.
Recommendation: push those box jumps harder than you think you can.
Mental battle...
James your totally missing out on the severe storm rolling in, bet you wish you would have stayed now

Knees are still bugging me from my 6k...more ice tonight.
If any of you are dropping in to the CF certification in town, make sure my girlfriend Katrina and buddy Mike are working hard for me.
