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.

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).
