Thursday 15 Mar 12

TJAGLCS

Metcon: Complete 50/40/30/20/10 reps of:

Squats
Double-unders

6.32

Then, complete 3 rounds of:

5 chin-ups
Rest two minutes
5 dips
Rest two minutes

*Emphasis on body positioning and explosiveness

Notes: Today's session was all about preparing the body for Saturday. CrossFit Charlottesville had programmed a heavy thruster workout, so I decided to program my own workout. I wanted to prime my legs for the wallball shots without taxing them too much. I decided to pair bodyweight squats with double-unders to get a feel for moving to double-unders after the legs are fatigued from squatting. The total reps was 150 of each movement, which is the number of wallball shots in Open workout 12.4. I went unbroken on the double-unders and did not allow myself to stop on squats (although I did move slowly at times). The chin-ups and dips were designed to prime my upper body for Saturday's muscle-ups, which I hope to attempt. The wallball shots are going to be brutal; however, if I can get through them in less than 8 minutes, then I'll assure myself around 2 minutes to attempt some muscle-ups. That's the plan.
