Comments:
First time with double unders. Technically Rx. But these clearly need work. 8 minutes to do 50, 40 and particularly 20!! DU is just ridiculous. I probably made 4 attempts for every successful DU. This was a TON of work. And a lot of impact on my already weary hips and legs.

One consolation. Despite having a nasty sore on my lower back from the large volume of situps in Thursday's AMRAP , my total situp time was faster than the last time i did this.

I used a different sub for the DU this time than last so it's not exactly apples to apples. I used yesterday's tuck jumps + single skips instead of last time's 4x single skips. I think this sub was a good bit harder. My situp time is 36 seconds shorter, so I am going to call this an improvement over last time, even though it is 7 seconds longer.

Hey Sweet Annie

I used to be embarrassed by my press. I thought it was the weakest of my lifts (except maybe for bench), and did not anticipate doing well for today's 1RM Firebreather. And...well, I didn't do well. My press IS weak. However, looking at the spread of other people in class, I fall in about the same place (DFL among men) as I did for the squat, so I suppose my press is not actually relatively weaker than my other lifts. I'm just weak all over. Yay. :\

Press 1RM - best of 5 attempts (Press 1-1-1-1-1)

95-100-105(f)-105(PR)-110(f)

So my new 1RM for shoulder press is 105, or 60% BW. I don't think I'm far off with 110 - I could really just stand to do this more often to really nail the form. My point of failure is the inch or two directly over my head - which, I think, is a bit higher than where most people fail.

Max as much as told me not to go to the metcon class this morning, as it would diminish my 1RM, so we resolved to do something after Firebreathers (half-volume week is over, and I was eager to do something for realsies). We couldn't do the AMRAP from the morning because Max had a private client, so we grabbed jumpropes and headed up to the yoga room for Annie.

This was my first time with Annie. I quite liked it, and it felt really good being back in action for a full workout. My double-unders are not yet chained together, but I can fairly consistently knock out a dozen or so skip-double-unders at a time, so I'm not as useless with them as I've been historically. I actually lose most of my time in resetting the jumprope when I screw up. My situps were fast, and nearly entirely unbroken.

This was Friday night's WOD - but we went out to dinner with Daniel's parents on Friday, and since i was so so sore from Murph on Saturday, I just could not even begin to think of trying to get 7,000 pounds over my head, so I elected to do this one instead.

I had some hope that I'd actually be able to get a double under, but after they still elude me, so I opted for the quadruple skips as a modification.

There's not a lot to say about this workout. Mostly I was just glad not to be lifting weights.

It looks like my situps were pretty consistently about 10 every 30 seconds. My abs are a little sore today. In the last couple rounds I managed to get the skips going really fast. I managed to get several sets in the 50-60 skips range.

It's a weird wish, but I wish i had a jump rope that was just handles and no rope but woud click when the imaginary rope would hit the ground based on the movement of the handles. ... And the reason I want such a bizarre thing is that I feel like the main reason I haven't managed to get a double under is that I am having a hard time coordinating the faster spin with the higher jump, and with an actual rope it's very difficult to practice it without actually doing it because the rope keeps getting stopped by my clumsy feet.
