WOD
4 rounds
10 KB snatches each arm (16/24kg)
15 wall balls (14lb to 9’/ 20lb to 10’)
100 single skips
12:50 Rx (in a
tutu)
Since I lost the 13.4 wager I had to do this WOD in a tutu. It was however a really nice black tutu that
Angie let me (or Cam) borrow. Coaches
Tara and Scotty got numerous laughs (and headshakes) out of it while they were
coaching and every time it made me giggle.
Literally, giggle.
I wasn’t sure I’d be able to skip in it but thankfully this wasn’t
an issue – yay for all unbroken skipping.
The snatches were rough – I felt the ache in my shoulders (left
one particularly) doing these and wished they were dumbbell snatches which I
much prefer over KB snatches. (for the
record, I can hear Angie giggling and blushing now as she reads this with all
that mention of snatching).
The wall balls hurt a little but got easier as the rounds went on
(as is usually the case with both these and thrusters). I didn’t warm up my squats enough for these
not to hurt at the beginning. I tried to
do a set of 10 and then a 5 but in one round I dropped the ball at 8 reps and
then I think did 5’s in round 4.
Overall this wasn’t too bad (especially given I was wearing a
tutu). Nice change up at least and liked
the movements. Still hurt but managed to
keep moving so I was happy.
Strength
EMOM 10
5 x 35kg Front Squat
Decided on the car ride home that I’d do a bit more strength work
while Cam was BBQ-ing dinner. He has been a big fan of every minute on the minute
(EMOM) work lately so I thought I’d give this a go with front squats – my glutes
and hammies really need some solid work these days. I (and he) initially thought 40kg would be a
good weight but after one attempt (at the clean) my body thoroughly rejected
the idea and I dropped it back to 35kg.
With the way my posterior chain is feeling today this was probably a
good idea. Ouch, it’s all a little sore.
By the end I was really ready for this to be over but managed to
get through them all unbroken with big focus on staying tight in the bottom of
the squat and keeping my knees out/ posterior chain engaged throughout. Nice to be able to do this at home in the semi-darkness
and get through it quite quickly. Need
to do more of these types of WODs.
