There are two WODs that I absolutely love - For Time: 2 Scoops of Rocky Road Ice Cream, and the Filthy 50. Haven't done 2 scoops in a long time so the Filthy 50 was the next best thing.
As Jerry would say "This was in my wheelhouse." (Save for a few movements).
NOTES:
- Right out of the gate I hammered 50 Box Jumps and then quickly moved onto jumping pullups.
- For the KB swings I did a chunk of 25, took a 3 count rest and then did 15, and 10.
- After yesterday's Back Squats the Walking Lunges actually felt pretty good and I was able to just keep moving.
- Knees to Elbows are "okay" in that they're certainly easier than say Toes-to-Bar. Tried to stay close to bar and knock out chunks of 5 near the end.
- Push Presses were really light and I tried to find a good, solid rhythm combined with technique.
- Back Extensions were deceiving but I powered through sets of 20's & 10's.
- Wallballs... oh wallballs, I certainly hate you as of late. For these I took Jerry's advice and partitioned them into sets. First set was 20, then the rest were 10's. Lost some time here.
- Burpees. For these the trick is just to keep moving no matter what. Another trick is to not waste energy on any unnecessary movement, i.e. jumping too high, donkey kicking your pushup, strict pushup, etc. Just jump high enough to get your shoulders behind your ears, clap and then use the momentum to carry you back down to your squat and subsequent pushup. I was DYING by the end of these!
- Me and Doubleunders have a love/hate relationship. I'm either really proficient or really horrible. Today was a proficient day. Did sets of 30 and 20 to finish things off on a good note.
