Tried my hand today at Saturday's WOD, which was

21-15-9

Overhead Squats (65 lb)
Ring Dips (w/ red band)
Bastards

Took me 13:42, and it felt like I was moving at a snail's pace. Went 10 lbs lighter than the Rx'd OHS weight in the hopes that I could avoid breaking as much as possible (broke once in each of the first 2 sets). Red band felt too easy for ring dips, and bastards were just terrible and I need to cycle them a little faster.

Afterward, I joined in with Alex to do the "finisher" for today's WOD, which was:

5 rounds
30 sec handstand hold
30 sec situps

Finished with 78 situp reps. No problems with handstand holds other than a small kickup issue on the last round that delayed me by 1 second.

Monday was a rest/work day. Tuesday was just a little SS:

Back Squat 3x5 (140)
Press 3x5 (70)
3 sets kipping pullups (8-8-8)

Got my 8 pullups in a row! On the second and third sets I had to reset my kip, but didn't come off the bar so I counted it anyhow. Also got some Climb On in the mail and have already put it to use; hopefully it'll do some good things to my hands tonight.

PCF WOD today:

5 rounds of 3 minutes of

5 SDHP (75 lb)
10 box jumps (17")

Then rest 3 minutes

18 rounds completed. This was a doozy - I didn't get even close to doing the 95 lb Rx'd weight, instead opting for a weight that would allow me to cycle quicker. Same goes for box jumps - I'd say I managed to get a good rhythm going 75% of the time, which I was happy about.

Friday was rest/work day. Today was

Front Squats 3x5 (117.5)
Bench Press 3x5 (90) hell yes
Power Clean 5x3 (110)

Power cleans were kinda ugly at times, not gonna lie.

Today was

Back Squat 3x5 (137.5)
Press 3x5 (77.5; 3-3-2)

Back squats felt good, press wasn't great but I'll back off a bit now in weight, no problem. Instead of working on pullups afterward (hands still ripped up), I worked on ring dips. Surprised myself and got my first unassisted ring dip (yay, halfway there to end-of-July goal!), then did 2 sets of 3 with Alex holding my feet a little, and then a set of 5 toes on the ground (which felt too easy).

Still a little bit blowed up from Angie yesterday, so took a rest day.

Today I did the PCF WOD, which was

Angie

100 pullups
100 pushups
100 situps
100 squats

Did it as Rx'd for the first time, in 34:00. Not great, but I wasn't too upset, given that I haven't done a bodyweight WOD like this in awhile and I only tore my hand in two places!
