Training May 13, 2015

I have been looking forward to today since I received the testing schedule.  There were a couple of things I was interested in testing and I knew I would do pretty well on one.  I need the confidence boost.

Strict Press
1 RM
175 lbs.

This ties a somewhat dubious PR I achieved working out at an unfamiliar YMCA about six months after I started CF.  At the time, my previous 1 RM was 155, and on that day, I put 175 up.  I had a 45 and 2 10's on each side so I know the weights were right, but I really think the bar must have been lighter since I have NEVER been able to replicate that and all my other numbers have gone way up since then.  Long story short, I am happy with this.

50 TTB For Time
2:38

I am really happy about this despite the fact that I lost count again and I ended up doing 55 TTB (in 2:59).  Once I stop hitting sets of, at least five, I completely lose count.

For Time
50 Double Unders
10 Burpees
40 Double Unders
10 Burpees
30 Double Unders
10 Burpees
20 Double Unders
10 Burpees
10 Double Unders
10 Burpees
3:50

All the double unders were unbroken and the burpees, except the last round, were pretty quick. When I was thinking about this workout, I thought 4:30 would be a good number to shoot for so I am pretty happy with this.  I really pushed this one hard.  I usually don't care too much how I stack up as long as I feel like I gave it my best effort, but this is the type (if not exactly) of workout I was hoping for getting in the MQ.
