Cash out: Balance beam and cartwheel work
For the WOD I managed four rounds: 23-11-12-9, plus one final 400m run.
Kipping rhythm was a bit of a limiting factor for the pull ups, all those extra swings certainly weren’t doing my grip any favors. Besides that, some unexpected stomach cramping had me walking bits of my last few 400m laps, not sure what that was all about. I’ll chalk that up to going into the WOD a bit too on the hungry side, I guess. And just sucking at running in general ;)
Some decent dead lift progress tonight: 205x3, which is 20lbs better than my PR of 185x3 a few weeks ago. Not huge numbers by any means, but it’s slow and steady progress on my way up to my double bodyweight goal of 300lbs. Next up: 225x3.
