200m run

15 Curtis presses

400m run

10 Curtis presses

COMPLETED: 11.57mins RX

Had the Monday blues today. Dragged my feet into the muggy box, then it started raining just before the wod. OH JOY.

It's been a while since I've done any running wods, so this was actually a nice change, and the rain felt nice by the third run!

* * * * *

400m /200m runs - Didn't want to blow myself out energy-wise with the first run, so pace was pretty conservative. The other two runs were just recovery for my legs after the presses.. My butt was burning from the lunges! 

Curtis presses - 30kgs. These were really good. First round was unbroken, second I think I got about 7 unbroken before arms just gave out and dropped the bar. With the last set of 10, I was breaking it down into twos or singles. Not pretty.

Weighted ring dips (5x5)

5 x BW

5 x BW

5 x BW

5 x BW + 1.25 kg

4 x BW + 1.25

These felt pretty good. Deliah brought in some extra backpacks she had at home for us at the box to use for weighted ring dips/pull ups etc. This is Noki on the left and me on the right.. I tested out the little Ben 10 backpack lol. 

WOD

7 min AMRAP of:

5 x Curtis Press (1/2 / 1/3 bodyweight)

25 double unders

Curtis Press - Used 30kgs. These were pretty cool.. Like a superset. It put some of my fave exercises into one rep: Power cleans, lunges and push press.

Double unders - Sweet.

WOD 120305

Strength: back squat

5 x 205, 215, 225

Weight went up pretty easily, and was a five rep PR.  Strength is coming back to my squat.

WOD 30 Curtis presses for time (1 rep = hang clean, L/R lunge, push press) 95/65

Time: 5:02 RX

Decided to pace it by going 5 reps and dropping, then another 5, another 5, then 3 or 2 the rest of the way with very short breaks.  It worked, and I got a fast time.
