At Crossfit at 6AM. Ted, Dave with Brian and Jerry coaching.
Wore my fivefingers for the first time in a workout today. Noticed a real difference with rope jumping. I could feel different muscles working in my leg. Just the absence of a shoe heel made a big difference. Of course the fact that we did an extra 800 rope jumps today might have had something to do with it. Felt much more solid when in the squat position. I think I will really like them once I get use to them.
For our warmup:
- 4 Overhead Lunges with 45 lb plate overhead
8 Window Wipers with 45 lb plate overhead
12 V-ups
16 Push Ups
Repeated 2 times
Jerry worked with us on squat therapy. That is where you squat with your body just inches away from the wall. Not really a fun thing.
WOD
- 21-15-9 Reps
Buy in to get started = 400 rope jumps
Burpee to a pullup
Overhead Lunge (25 lb plate)
Wall Balls
Box Jumps (24″) I did step ups
Buy out to stop = 400 rope jumps
I may not have completed all 400 rope jumps to stop. I was so tired I kept losing count. Also, I though I would do better with the fivefingers on the rope jumps because I would not have a chance of my shoe laces getting lose or in the way. That worked but I got the rope caught between my toes several times.
For the Burpee to PullUp I used a six inch box for my hands on the burpee rather than going all the way down to the floor. I then jumped on the 6″ box for the pull up and then a jump down. It was good jumping practice. I am still not up to trying a 24″ box jump.
The tech came early today and worked on my second line. Replaced some wires. He found an old bee’s nest in a box on the pole and cleaned that out. Second line is working and DSL continues to work so I hope that things will be working ok now, at least for awhile.
