September 3, 3 rounds for time

Today's warm-up and strength part were intense! Every time we do skull crushers at the box I seem to be missing those particular muscles needed to do this exercise. I definitely have to work more actively and more frequently with those muscles! I did the military presses with 45 lbs. I've done them with more weight but apparently I lock my shoulder joint, so I tried to do them without locking and that limited my press weight.

The workout went ok but not great. I did the push presses with 55 lbs and did ring rows instead of pull-ups. The V-ups went way slower than I expected them to go and I finished in 13:49.

Another kind of filthy fifty

Yesterday's workout was tough, especially since I didn't go to the box for almost a month. Too busy working late nights. A common excuse, I know.

Warm-up:

1 RM shoulder press: new PR 70 lbs (previous March PR 55 lbs)


WOD

For time:
50 Push Press (95/65)
50 Pull-ups
50 Toes to bar
50 Walking lunges
50 Burpees
50  Slamballs (40/20)

Scaled:

PP 40, ring rows, knee raises, slamballs (4 kg--> wrist injury)

It was tough and hot outside but I managed to finish in 24:51 (time cap was 25 min).

Push press / Wall ball pyramid

After a time-consuming work week it was finally WOD-time again.

On the program:

21-15-9-15-21 Reps for time of:
Push Press (115/75)
Wall ball shots (20/14)

I really do not like wall ball shots, I always drop the ball or get out of breath. For me, they are actually worse than burpees. I would rather do burpees than wall ball shots :)

So after the first round  of 21 repetitions I was gasping for air and thinking that this WOD was going to take a very long time. I lowered my pace and kept on going and surprisingly I recovered. 15 went slow but steady, 9 went great, 15 as well and 21 was a bit of strain.

I finished in 13:05 (push press 55, wall ball 14)

Yeah!
