Wednesday I had every intention of doing FGB.. then during the middle of the day my achilles started hurting me.. I was legit sitting down and it just started throbbing.. So strange.
So in my head I decided I would opt out of FGB just because of the high rep box jumps and doing something else.. I picked out a WOD I liked (which I wanted to test out before programming it for the gym) and was fired up to try it.. Got into the gym late, attempted to warm up and get going and just did not have time before coaching the 6PM as it was like a 20 minute WOD. Poopsicle.
Amazing classes at 6 and 7 tonight hitting FGB, many for their first time.. it was so awesome to see some of the efforts, especially in the 3rd round, that people were putting up.. Not an easy workout by any means, it floors me every time.
At 815 when everyone settled down I attempted to get loose again, and just had nothing.. Like I tried and I just knew I would get 3 minutes into the workout and not want to be there.. So I bailed.. Total mental cop out. (cough huge wimp cough)
Thursday woke up bright and early for the AM classes, which got me all razzed up because I was excited to teach the atlas stone lifts, which I find to be really really fun.
I really had no intention of working out and then after the 6:30AM I was just like fuck it, I am here, this WOD is 6 minutes, shit's on like donkey kong.
"Magic Hat"
6 Minute clock
Row 500m
100 lateral cone hops
Max C&J @ 155#
Score = 16 reps
Woooooo.... that one got spicy fast..
I paced the row so I wasn't totally useless afterward and finished in 1:40.. and got right after the jumps.. In my head I just tried to get a rhythm and do as many as I could because big numbers would equal a lot more time on the barbell.. I did 66 in a row, the finished up the last 34 in 2 sets.. The first rep felt.. let's just say heavier than normal.. and I tried to drop each rep from overhead and get right into the next.. Each rep with set up and drop took about 10-12 seconds or so. So I had about 3 minutes left to get as many as I could.. I wanted more like 18-20 reps, but I am OK with this score.. I fought hard at the end for every rep, even if some of the cleans were a little uggo..
Happy to mentally break down the "morning WOD barrier" today.. I typically puss out on these because I always prefer the evening workouts with a full days worth of food and calories in me..
