3/7 WOD

AMRAP 5 Min
10 M Overhead Walking Lunge (45#/25#)
2 Minutes Rest
AMRAP 5 Min
3 Squats
3 Push Ups
2 Minutes Rest
AMRAP 5 Min
10 M Overhead Walking Lunge

9 lengths; 25 rounds of squats-push ups; 8 lengths.
My arms and shoulders crapped out shortly before my legs on the OH walking lunges, and it did not take long for that to happen. Five minutes of OH lunging was plenty. The push ups/squats seem like they could have gone on all day, I picked a decent pace and kept at it. (Got a little confused only counting to 3 on squats, so my first couple of rounds may have included 4 or 5 squats.)

Open WOD 12.3

15 20" Box Jumps
12 95# Push Presses
9 Toes to Bars

ONE HALF – NOT ONE - BUT 1/2 REP SHY of FIVE rounds!! GRRR!! :ranting2:
179 reps
[I]Box Jumps went easier than I thougth, but they were STILL tough! (Even with KStar & Paoli's tips!) Had a couple of "no reps", which suck! Push presses were brutal. I spent WAY TOO much time on the negatives (Still scared about dropping 95# on my head!!:eek:)

Had a minute left to do the T2B to get 5 rounds. The clock ran out with my legs 1/2 way up on the 9th rep!!:ranting2:

Hope this one goes better for the rest of you guys!![/I]

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

alden's rubbing off on me.
squat pr, 70kg for a double!!

GL on 12.3!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

well 12.3.. what can i say. untill today i had never even come close to T2B...
i managed 4 ( also counting in my mind the fact that another 7 were with R foot touching the L foot missing by millimeters.. so I think i can safely say that I now have something to work on)

so despite not even getting one round completed i feel like celebrating!!!
the lesson i have learned is that i waste too much time thinking/saying " I cant do that" and choosing to scale down. in future i will remember this and try to choose accordingly. Without the incentive of the open i would be doing V-sits or knee raises for the rest of my life
