Did alternating sets of 5/5. Worked well for 3 rounds then the muscle ups started to slow - should have switched to power cleans sooner but didn’t think of that till repaeted fails in round 5. That was loads of fun!!

actually back to something like CFSB rather than just lazy man’s strength training

So all done in 9:45

Lizzie was consciously smooth and unhurried. Was surprised as heck by the time. Did make it tough getting into the mix for Grace - did that in three rep bursts all the way through but obviously walked too far from the bar in between efforts. Enjoyed this WOD immensely!!

Also got a few sets of 15 GHD sit ups and hip extensions in as well as some GHD sit up med ball tosses- FUN!

Cycle 1, Week 3 - Front Squats

5x133lb
5x177lb
5x221lb
5x254lb - this is getting heavy but I don’t know how much room going to triples would give me. Suck up another 5lb next week for 5 and see how it goes

Back Squat
20x221lb

Mini Easy Mary
10 min AMRAP
5 HSPU (press width)
10 pull ups
25 Squats

6 rounds in 9:52 (PB for 20 min version is 11 + 5 pull ups)

My metcon’s the last few weeks have felt like just hard work rather than any real full throttle sprints. Figure that this is a by-product of biting off more than I can chew with a full volume and intensity CFSB cycle instead of a ramp up cycle. Will allow this to continue for the remainder of the cycle but look to light the fires next cycle.
