Saturday May 24, 2014

Still a bit messed up from hurting my back earlier in the week. Got an adjustment on Thursday from the Chiro but not all the way there yet. Was supposed to do a long WOD with HSPU's and some other stuff but was worried about reinjuring my neck/back.

So, I decided to do a "redemption workout". This was a workout from 2010 Regionals which is really the last "big", official CF comp. that I ever competed in. It was also the most humbling experiences I've ever had in competition. The WOD was 21-15-9 of 135# Overhead Squats and Chest to Bar Pull-ups. The OHS's were so bad, I did not even make it through the first 21 reps under the 10:00 cap!!! Needless to say, I've come a long way since then and OHS's are no longer the glaring weakness they once were.

My attempt at this WOD went a lot better to say the least. I actually got through the first set of OHS unbroken!!! Could have pushed through the set of 15 as well but dropped the bar at 10 reps. Got the last 9 unbroken as well.

CTB's did not go as well. I decided to forego butterfly CTB's in an effort to spare my left shoulder. Plus, my form on these has been crap lately. I split the first round into 7-7-7 with at least 15-20 seconds rest in between. Second round 5-5-5 and last round 5-4 (which ended up as 5-2-2!)

Time was 7:12. Really proud of this. If only I were better at CTB's I would have really crushed it.
