I came in Friday with the intention of doing something.. My hips were all tightened up from whatever I was doing this week so I opted out of doing 45 thrusters and replaced them with something else..
I ended up going with the following
5 Rounds for time:
3 Tire Flips
5 Kegs to Overhead (75#)
10 Plate Burpees 35#
10 Box Jumps 24"
Time 12:53? ( I think?)
I am not sure which was worse wind-wise.. 45 thrusters or 15 flips and 25 kegs to overhead.. but damn was that fun..
Plate burpees always suck, glad to get those overwith in 10s..
I LOVED the kegs from ground to overhead, it was almost like an off-balance power snatch-ish movement.. I liked it a lot.. really tough to control and needed a lot of focus every time..
Saturday
Partner WOD
3 Laps
Tire sled drag (with air squat penalty for switch)
OH Barbell carry (with burpee penalty for switch)
Buddy carry (with Mountain climber penalty for switch)
This was a half hour of grit grinding awfulness..
The sled drag had my quads and calves burning before we finished even a half of a lap..
The OH barbell carry was probably 90% mental but once your shoudlers went, your core went, and you needed to drop.. The burpees sucked a lot of time on these, I went at a deliberate pace.
The buddy carry was sort of fun but a little annoying because Jack and I were so tired and sweaty/slippery we could not fucking hang on to one another on our backs so we needed to switch to the less optimal piggy back at about half way because just flat out could not hold on..
I loved this workout in a masochistic way, it was a great "outside my comfort zone" day..
Resting tomorrow. NEED IT after that massacre.
