Women's Rx is the way to go for me, but even then sometimes it still sucks.
Almost didn't go this morning, felt exhausted and fell back to sleep after my alarm, but I woke up in time and since there are only 4 days this week I figured I should get moving.
Missed part of the warm up: 3 rounds of 10 good mornings, 9 alternating jumping lunges, 8 push ups. Got almost 2 rounds done.
Started with a 10 minute EMOM of 4 dead lifts, 3 hang power cleans, 2 push jerks. Couldn't let go of the bar the entire complex.
Warm up at 95# was okay but still felt heavy. Tried with Justin's bar at 135# and that was a nope. Settled on 115# and that was a good choice. Kept the bar moving fast, done in 20 seconds each time.
WOD was 3 rounds for time of:
- 12 front squats 115#/75#
- 21 box jumps overs 24"/20"
- 12 handstand push ups.
So Women's Rx doesn't help much on the HSPU. But I did 75# (for which I was glad) and used a 20" box (for which I was also glad), but the HSPU were a fail.
I went out hot and was winded getting to the wall. My plan to see how many I could get unbroken and using that number went out the window when I managed only 3 reps. Ended round 1 there.
Round 2 I put my knees on the 20" box did push ups with hip elevated, 12 were too easy.
So for round 3, I flipped the box to 30", put my feet on it and struggle through 5 reps, flipped it again to 24", with feet on it and got 4 more, leaving the box as is, but knees on it and managed to squeeze out the last 3 reps.
9:50. Still last but closer than usual. Triceps are still sore from the last Open workout with all those burpees and thrusters.
Still a good workoutl.
