Knee feeling stiff this morning so I did the evening conditioning pieces in the AM:
A. HSPU and PC couplet got 148 Reps (apparently less than last time, I honestly must have counted wrong because it felt 1000x better this round, crossed off each round as I went on the whiteboard to make sure I didn’t miss any rounds)
B. 5 Rounds + 13 reps (deadlifts and burpees felt much faster on this one)

Haha maybe. I’m just doing some low intensity cardio to lose some extra weight. I’m too heavy right now, taxing me on the BW movements. I was @ 199 down to 195 goal is 185. Still eating plenty and drinking plenty. Just cutting weight the ol school way. Throwing on some sweats and sweating. I know it’s not very often you’ll see a crossfitter doing this but hey, to each their own haha. And thanks for the ball bust Tino haha.

Session#2:

A. 113 reps / Should have broke HSPU into smaller sets, did fast singles on power cleans should have did TNG reps felt like the weight would have been light enough to go TNG.
*Overall I am happy with today’s results 8 months ago I didn’t even know what a HSPU was / looking forward to getting a solid year of this program under my belt for next year, this years open is all about having some fun:)

B. 4 + 17 / went to fast at the start slowed way down toward last couple of minutes.

Tuesday session one
A. 225/235/245/250/255/265/270/275
B. 335/355 both felt good
C.
First time: 5:23 (4:33 twt)
at school I have to run from the rowers across the floor, downstairs and onto the track to do du and then into the weight room to do pullups on the squat racks

Retest: 4:45 (-38) Forgot to check transition splits but got off the tower at 1:44 (-2) and finished my double unders ub at 3:15 (-15) and did first 30 pullups ub (+10) so I’m guessing I was somewhere around 4-4:15 without the extra transition sprints added in
