September 12, Body weight challenge

If you would ask me about the exercises I like the least, I would definitely say the majority of body weight exercises. I am still working on my one pull-up, I failed doing 65 sit-ups in 2 minutes (63, aargh) and for some reason I can't do burpees or V-ups very fast (yet!)

So when today's workout was announced, I felt a shudder.

AMRAP in 3 min of:
20 Burpees
? Pull-ups
-1 min rest-
AMRAP in 3 min of:
30 Wallball shots (20/14)
? Pull-up
-1 min rest-
AMRAP in 3 min of:
40 V-ups
? Pull-ups

Score = number of pull-ups

Worst nightmare and definitely a body weight challenge! I scaled the pull-ups to ring rows

The first round I did 13 ring rows, the second 11 and the third 17. A total score of 41 ring rows. Next time I will try to do 45 ring rows!

Tuesday's WOD

Whoops I forgot to blog about Tuesday's WOD.

This was the WOD:

AMRAP in 12 min of:

6 Handstand push-ups

12 Wallball shots (20/14)

18 Double unders

I finished with 5 rounds and 10 wall ball shots (scaled the HSPU's to sitting thrusters and the double unders to tuck jumps). I can actually do double unders (one at a time) but somehow when it's workout time I can't do them anymore, hence the scaling.

In the warm-up we built up to handstand (push-up). When I was little my friends once dropped me on my head/neck whilst I was doing a handstand and since then I have been sort of scared of doing them. 

However, with a little help (to make me swing further) I did a handstand today (and I didn't drop on my head)!! :)
