Friday was the last day of a long week of hard workouts... and I was ready for the break, but before I got a rest day I had to finish one more WOD.
I have done the 40 FS at #155 before when Scott and I were prepping him for the Games, it was hard, but I wasnt too worried. Also while we were prepping for the games we worked out a great plan for getting through the HSPU's, do 5 rest for the remainder of the 30 seconds, then keep going. That will allow you to finish in less than the 5min limit and hopefully with easy!
3, 2, 1.. GO!
The first 20 HSPU went great, and I was still at only 2 mins but that was good b/c they got hard after that. I had to break them down into sets of 2 to 3, then the last 5 were just 1 at a time.. but I finished with 10 seconds to spare.
I ran out ready to rock the Front squats... but I was in for a surprise. I got 3 then 4 more, then a few at a time. I just couldn't push the weight... by legs were totally shot from the weeks worth of high reps & heavy lifting!
By the time in got to the 18th rep, I had to drop the weight, I haven't had to drop below RX in months.. but I couldn't have finished otherwise.
WOD
40 HSPU
40 Front Squats #155
Time: 12:37
As bad as that showing was, its a pretty cool reminder that we have to take care of our bodies and take the rest days b/c if we dont we get blown out... slower and potentially injured.
My legs cramped the rest of the day and I walked funny for 2 more days... but after some rest and recovery, I feel great and ready to hit it hard again!
We need an official list of WOD's we're going to do before you leave.

2) We should put a request to the members and have them pick for us and then pick a time.
