Atlas stone shouldering felt pretty easy once I got the hang of it after several failed attempts. The bar muscle ups felt like shit today and I wasn't able to string any together. It was a fun workout though, it was good to do something I'm not used to doing, definitely going to practice with the stones more.

13.3

13.3

AMRAP in 12 minutes:
150 wall ball (9 foot target)
90 double unders
30 muscle ups

150+90 double unders+3 muscle ups= 243 reps

This. was. effing. terrible. I went in with a strategy of doing 10 wall ball every 30 seconds. That lasted up until the 70th wall ball and then those went to hell. I was basically doing sets of 7-8 from then on until I got to 125, then they were sets of 5. I got to the double unders around 9:40, and wanted to do sets of 30 but that wasn't going to happen. I tripped up after 12 and then I just tried to do as many as I could. When I got to the rings I had 1:00 left and I honestly didn't know if I even had time to do more than 1 muscle up but I was able to get 3. I am both happy and disappointed with this, I would have liked to move through the WB faster and gotten to the rings with at least 2 minutes to spare because I probably could have gotten 5-6 muscle ups. But I am happy with it because last year I got ZERO muscle ups. So overall I'm happy with how this went and I am definitely NOT doing it again.

Just found out 13.3 is the same wallball/doubleunder/muscle up workout from last year. When I did it last year I only had about 30 seconds to get a muscle up and couldn't get one before time ran out. I am not that great at wall balls but I'm hoping to get to the muscle ups with a few minutes to spare this time. Also I'm hoping I only have to do this one once! Going for it tomorrow night!

B. 6, 5, 3 (stopped due to wrists tearing)

3 rounds + wall balls and chin ups 

Muscle ups didn't feel that great today, had to stop early in the third round because my wrists were starting to tear and I didn't want to risk it in case muscle ups come up this week in the open. I think I might have gone a little harder than 85% on the amrap, I have a really hard time figuring out what 85% is haha. Can't wait to hear what the open workout is tomorrow.

The squat cleans felt pretty bad today, my back is still really tight and sore from 13.2 so it was difficult to get tight during the cleans. I worked up to 165 but failed, which is disappointing because I JUST squat cleaned 165 on Tuesday. That's ok though. Bar Muscle Up "Amanda" went better than I thought, I'm not sure of the time because the clock got reset while I was in the middle of the round of 7. I wasn't trying to really go for a time so I didn't mind that the clock was reset, Stephen told me to look at it more as skill work. My main goal was to get all the bar muscle ups and I did so I'm happy with it. Then I stuck around and watched everyone do 13.2 and it was awesome! Pete and Glenn got over 300 reps. Great day at CSC.

13.2

13.2

as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes:

5 shoulder to overhead (75#)
10 deadlifts (75#)
15 box jumps (20 inch box)

9 rounds + 5 shoulder to overhead= 275 reps

I am SO pleased with how this went, I didn't expect to get 9 rounds at all. 9 rounds was my goal, but I didn't think I would actually get it, I was expecting 8 rounds. The shoulder to overhead wasn't bad at all, and the deadlifts were a nice little break to catch my breath. I basically just kept moving the whole time and had quick transitions. I am so happy with this score! I am hoping I won't have to do it again haha. I feel like I redeemed myself from last week.
