Definitely feeling trap soreness after getting back into it
on Monday night – likely a case of (too) many burpees… alas. This is what I earned after a week of lovely
leisure. Anyway, the WOD for today
looked innocent enough on paper but it was anything but in reality.
WOD
Alternating EMOM for 10 Minutes
15 Kettlebell Swings
15 Box Jumps
24kg (20kg for last 2 rounds)
24” (rebounded all rounds)
We were able to choose our own KB weight and box height for
this and then we partnered up with one of us starting on the KB (Ali) and the
other (me) on the box jumps. It was
tough right from the start – the KB swings specifically. For most of the rounds I was finishing the
box jumps in about 30 seconds rebounding them all and where required resting
for an extra breath (or two) on top of the box.
The KB swings slowed me right down – a combination of feeling it in my
back and my hands hurting (afraid of tearing them actually). I did the first two rounds unbroken at 24kg
then split up the third into 10-5. I put
on my weight belt starting the 4th round as this is when I really
started to feel it in my back but it came undone for some reason and instead of
fixing it I just jumped on the unmanned 20kg KB beside me for the 13 additional
reps which I think I still split up. It
was touch. The last round I just grabbed
the 20kg and went 10-5 again on the reps.
Ouch. Definitely a challenge
overall but happy to have finished it, more happy overall with my box jumps –
seems like it’s been a long time since we’ve done them.
