Tuesday 16 Oct 12

CFDC

Complete 5 rounds of:

1 rope climb
4 Turkish get-ups (alternating)

16kg, 20kg, 24kg, 24kg, 24kg

Push press 8 x 3 (OTM) @ 155#

Metcon:  Complete 6 rounds of:

6 chest-to-bar pull-ups
6 burpees
9 toes-to-bar
24 double-unders
Rest 90 seconds

Notes:  The rope climb/TGU piece was more difficult than anticipated.  It's not that TGUs at the weight I used are particularly difficult, it's moreso that they require focus and attention and that they take a while to perform.  My leg was flopping all over the place on the initial sit-up portion of the movement and my efficiency on the rope seemed to dwindle as I got closer to the top.  Felt strong on push press.  OTM-style work really allows you to hone the movement without breaking down due to heavy loads.  Everything was solid on the metcon with the exception of toes-to-bar.  My abs broke down after the second round and I had to resort to swinging singles.  This basically took away the conditioning piece from the last four rounds.  Obviously need much more volume on this movement.
