Today went a bit better than yesterday.
Got out of bed quickly. Got ready quickly. I was at the gym before 5:20.
Warm up was a 4 rounds of 9 wall balls 7 ring rows. Not a whole lot of fun.
Then we did close grip bench press for 3 sets of 10. I've done 20 reps at 135# in the past, but that may have been too long ago to count. I figured with enough rest I could manage 135# for 3x10.
Not quite. Sets one and two went fine, but I ran out of triceps on rep 5 of set 3. Good enough.
The WOD was a short 10 minute AMRAP of:
- 9 calorie row
- 20 wall balls
- 2 rope climbs.
Lost time retying my shoes after the first set of rope climbs. Grrr.
I discovered an efficiency boost for my rope climbs. I can pretty much climb 15' in two pulls, no matter what, but if I get a good jump and a tight tuck on the first one, I'm only a couple of feet from the 15' mark. So instead of my usual second tight tuck, I can make the difference with a way less taxing shallow tuck which takes much less effort to straighten out. Way better.
Managed 3 full rounds + 9 calories.
I was spent. Wish I had tied my shoes tight from the get go.
