Day #80

WOD

Kipping pull-up practice

-then-

Straight through for time:
30 Pull-ups
1000m row
30 Burpees

results: 7:31 (I’m not too sure about the time because I was so out of it, I didn’t remember.  So I went with 7:31.  I have a feeling it was a bit quicker.)

My hands aren’t bloody from the pull ups.  YAY! *insert fireworks here*  Jared mentioned doing “negatives” to work on your strength.  I will do that!  After watching the video of Spealler’s tutorial on the butterfly, I want to incorporate a few things.  I like how he mentioned “riding a bicycle backwards” and “heels to butt.”  Those are the two biggest takeaways I got from the video.

I did 20 pull-ups, dropped, then 4, drop, 3, drop, and last 3.  Towards the end, I was getting sloppy and I went back to the standard kip rather than butterflying it all the way.  The row was next and I kept a good pace.  I felt I could have done better and I appreciate Hector pushing me.  But I just felt winded and I struggled towards the end of the row.  UGH!  It has to be my diet.  I just know it!  The burpees went okay.  I just kept pushing through them.  At 20, I took a little breather and continued with Hector’s help.  Overall, it was a good workout.  Looking forward to get my strength up on thrusters, perfect my butterfly, and meet Fran head on.
