I was excited to see the box jumps today, I really enjoy these.. they are about 99.9% mental once you get up toward your max so I like to instill the confidence in myself to just try it even when it is really high..
For presses I warmed up and went for 115x5, 115x5, 120x5, 120x3, 120x3... I missed a last set in there because I got carried away doing box jumps and being a social butterfly.. sue me..
Box Jumps I worked slowly up to my previous max which is "the 30 inch box + 4 45# plates + 1 25# plate".. We measured it to be 48.5".. I landed it but my shoes literally skimmed the top plate as I was on the way up... about as close as you can get without eating it violently.. So I opted not to go for a new PR and risk an injury because I did not want to hurt anything right before doing (drumroll, please)...
WOD- FRAN!
21-15-9
Thrusters 95#
Pullups
Time - 4:30
I have the same 50/50 feeling on this one as I did with Grace from Tuesday.. I have made some big strides with my conditioning over the last few months and it has definitely shown in those 2 workouts.. (shaving 53 seconds is no joke)... BUT I finished and was sort of upset at how much I broke up the thrusters.. I did the first 21 thrusters and 21 pull ups without missing a beat.. then had to break up the next thruster set into 8-3-2-2.. No way I should need 4 distinct sets on that.. very frustrating..
I think my next goal for this workout isn't so much with a time in mind.. But I really want to to get to a point where I can do Fran unbroken.. I think if I can manage that somehow, regardless of the rest I need to take in between exercises, I will be really happy with my time, because most of it for me is lost just dropping the bar from overhead and having to regroup..
Less focus on time, just gonna do the work required and not break down mentally.
