Pressing Snatch Balance
3-3-3-3-3
"Tailpipe V.2.0"
5 rounds, for time:
Partner 1: plank hold on rings (feet higher than hands)
Partner 2: 100m sandbag run, 100 pound bag
Awkward today. Think I only got 2 legit reps at full depth. I kept exagerating the dip and catching too high... felt real good when I hit it though. Stopped at a lowly 105. Rep'd out with just the bar a bit as well.
4:43 met-con with Brad. That was a lot of fun! Planks were a little silly.
Did some double-under skill work after... hit 28 unbroken. Pretty sure that's a new PR. Also worked on my split-jerk stance a bit. Did 3x10 split jerks with a 45# barbell while tryna hit a chalked target on the platform. I learned to mentally reach out with my heel (vs my toe) which helped widen out the stance. Started to feel almost normal
weight: 163.8

Counting Calories
Burpee Fran
21-15-9
95# Thrusters
Burpees
Once again I was forced to modify due to the hip. I actually went with 21-15-9 95# push-press and 42-30-18 cal rows. The presses felt more difficult than I expected. I think this is mainly due to soreness left over from monday's tabata-kick-in-the-nuts. Rows had my legs shakin'! Time was 8:03.
Tabata plank hold for dessert... unbroken.

I Hate It When I'm Wrong
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
10 box-steps with 45# barbell
20 lunge jumps
5 chest-to-bar pull-ups
My man Russ asked before this WOD which segment I thought would be the "limiting factor." Having done lunge-jumps in the past I figured they would be a breeze, and the pull-ups were only rx'd a 5 per round so I answered that the box-steps might be a beotch once we got into it.
I was wrong.
The lunge-jumps got CRUNK after round 5... the box-steps definitely helped up the ante on these damn things and they got my lungs (and thighs) burning. By the time I made it to the pull-up bar I had to take a second and transport some oxygen across the sarcolema of my taxed muscle fibers and allow my buddy bicarb to buffer my systemic pH which seemed to be dropping like panties at prom. Long story short, I only pulled 9 full rounds, 10 step-ups, and 15 lunge-jumps.
Afterwards we had a little cookie where we partnered up with 2 others and did a rotation of 30 mountain climbers, L-sit hangs, and planks. The trick was that you had to hold the hang or plank for as long as it took each partner to blast through the mountain climbers. Simple right? Yeah, well I f*!ked it up. Little beknownst among civilians and other non-Marine military personnel, Marines do all their exercises at a double-count. For example, if you were told to do 20 push-ups you would do 20 four-count push-ups which in reality is 40 push-ups. Well, when my turn came around for mountain climbers I proceeded to do them as I was taught by Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. 60 mountain climbers later my agonizing buddies and their toasty abs were screaming my name. Oops...
Wrong again.
