30:36. Almost RX. I used a small blue band for the ring dips.
DU
BJ 20”

Really hit a wall on the 11th day. Wanted to lay down quietly for a while but forced myself to keep moving. That was harder then I thought.

37:37 RX, done with double unders
This was about having a good time with my wife. I followed her pace (she was doing a scaled version) until we finished the round of 10 at about 23:00 and she called quits (she had set a time cap of 22:00 for herself, still new to all this). I held a steady pace but didn’t push it today, just wanted to have fun with it. The S2OH and FS definitely took a toll and that’s where it got real
Enjoy your holidays everybody! I’ll be back home tuesday or wednesday

Run 400 m
20 wall runs (10 each arm)
10 ab wheel roll outs

Wanted to do some of what I’m bad at. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the pain of false grip! And that is with my feet on the floor!

A. OT4M x 20 min (5 sets) 4 single arm power cleans followed by 12 reverse lunges PC: 135, 145, 155, 165(PR), 135 RL: 135, 145, 155, 165, 165 Set up two bars for this. Did lunges out of the rack. Still wasn’t feeling 100% today so I went in with an open mind. I Adjusted my set up a bit and hit 165 for 4. Earlier in the week, I hit 170 for a single power clean which was a PR. Didn’t have much after the 4th set so dropped down to 135. B. Modified “Elizabeth”. I wasn’t going… Read more »

Everybody has their vice…for me it was the dbell ground to oh then the ring dips. Not many reps, but for whatever reason, blew me up.
