“Kelly”

5 rounds for time:
400m run
30x box jump 24″/20″
30x wall ball 20#/14#

38:21

This was the second time I had done this workout. Back in January I finished around 1:30 minutes faster which is unfortunate. I think I miscounted some of my reps that time though, so perhaps this time is more valid. In January, I found the wall balls to be the most painful part, but this time it was the box jumps. The wall balls still took me the longest of all the exercises. I did them in sets of five.

5×3 weighted push-ups

10-25-35-45-65#

I had done weighted push-ups one time before, but I did not remember what I maxed out at. I do think it was less than 65#. I think I could have gone much higher, although at 65# I definitely felt it. The plates actually made it harder as they interfered with my elbows/arms.

5 rounds for time:
200m row
10x DB snatch 50# (alternate arms)
5x strict pull-ups

14:30

I did the rows in 1:45 – 1:50 normally. They were not really a problem. The DB snatches were tiring though. I probably could have done 55# or 60# and been only slightly less tired. The big time sink was the pull-ups as expected. I basically did them one at a time. I also had to kip a little on the latter half of them.

RB called this basically a rest day. I wouldn’t go that far as I worked up a lot of sweat on the metcon. The push-ups weren’t all that stressful, though.
