Saturday August 13th

Congratulations to Mike Leary for being the first winner in as long as I can remember of the coveted FCF Memorial Puke Receptacle award. He made it through about 10 wall balls on the workout below and left me to complete the remainder on my own. Good work!

Happy Fun Time Saturday Morning Partner WOD-

Embrace the Pain

100 KB Swing 1.5 pood

100 Box Jumps 24"

100 K2E

100 Hand Release Pushups

100 Wall Ball

100 Double Unders

One partner was working at a time so this was just one of those workouts where you tried to split it up evenly-ish and never go to failure on any particular set, just keep the needle moving forward at all times.. Sets varied all over the place, I think I did 20 or 25 KBS but only like 8 K2E at a time, it varied. After his first set of Wall Balls, my partner bailed so I did about 70 Wall Balls on my own, which was just lovely. Double Unders went a little better today considering how tired I was, got some strings of 10, 18, and one 28 in there so I have little complain about, making progress on those again.

Random ass side note:
After the workout was over, I was chatting with Chrissy about how much easier the "2nd Muscle up" is than the first one in a given set because you have so much momentum gathered from the top of the rep that you can just exaggerate the swing so much harder on the way back up for #2. Trying to give a visual of what I meant I did a couple in a row and felt fresh so I just said "Fuck It" and went for as many as I could do.
Low and behold, hit a new PR of 5 consecutive Muscle Ups... felt awesome.. When I get myself comfortable with doing 10 consecutively or so I want to start drilling the real true competition standard with wrist turnouts, I am just not sure about the grip strength I have on it right now.

PR!!
