3 x each:

25 double unders
20 reverse lunge w/ twist
15 kettlebell swings, 1 pood
15 frogleg situps
10 muscle up transitions
10 dislocates

"Cindy"
20 min AMRAP
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 squats

22 rounds + 5 pullups

Less than a round short of my chest to bar PR. Got a tasty rip in round 15, which forced me to use a less advantageous grip the rest of the way. Also, my air squats have been feeling sluggish lately, and today was no exception. All in all, not much to complain about, but hitting the PR would have been sweet.

First day of the 5x5 program that I've felt like I picked a good weight; it was a fight from the first set. The first row was close to a PR, but the rest could have been better. I'm trying to pay closer attention to my form and improve economy of movement, but I think I'm still over-reaching in the catch.

Not sure what happened on my fourth set of FS's. Either my breathing was off or I just didn't wait long enough after the previous set. I came up from the 3rd rep seeing stars, dropped the weight, and almost passed out. Weirdest feeling I've ever had, felt like the whole world had gone wobbly. The metcon was harder than I expected, but fun.

It's interesting, I can hit 6 rounds if I try, but I seem to consistently hit more pullups if I only do 5 rounds instead.

Set rower for 1 min intervals with no rest in between, row 10m the first interval, 20m the second interval, and son on until you cannot complete the given distance during the 1 min interval.

27 rounds

These 5x5's are brutal, I love it. I didn't even attempt the 280m round on the rower workout. I made 270m by sheer strength of will; there was no way I was making the next one.

I feel like I've done this faster, but I can't find it recorded anywhere. I probably could have done it faster this time, but I opened up a rip that I'd started during "Nicole" somewhere around my 30th pullup.

1 hour later

8 x 100m sprints

I was more nervous about today's 5x5 than I have been about any other. I've been working with weights that are 85% of my 1 rep maxes, which usually puts me about 10 pounds under my 5 rep max. Today I ended up working with a weight that WAS my 5 rep max; a 5 rep max that I've been stuck at for some time, I might add. The amazing thing is that the first set was probably the hardest, I was seeing stars after both of the first two sets, but after that they seemed to get progressively easier. Now, I can't wait until 4 weeks from now when I get to attempt this at 90% of my 1 rep max. I did the sprints untimed, since I didn't have anyone to keep clock for me and I've decided that it's basically impossible to put forth maximal effort in anything under 200m (and even that's pushing it) and keep your own time. I just focused on going as hard as possible on each one and resting appropriately.

I think this WOD is definitely doable in sub 15; maybe on a better nights sleep an when my hammies aren't so spent.

That's why it's "death by" - you still have to attempt it even though you know you won't make it! :stir:
