Week 3, Day 4 - Math during a workout? no thanks.

Seriously. I have passed differential equations 2 but ask me to put an exact number on a barbell and I will struggle.

Wod:


Complete 8 rounds:
3 Hang Power Cleans – 85
*6 Jump Touches – 24″ Height
Sprint 25 yards

Rest 15 seconds between rounds


Results: Total time: 6:13
Thoughts: I liked this workout because it was so different from what I'm used to doing.The hang cleans were all done unbroken but it was the jump touches I struggled with. I'm not known for my high vertical ( shocking right?) so being able to jump up high and come down without swinging my arms was challenging. The 15 seconds consisted of me walking back to the bar from the sprint so it didn't feel like much of a break. I was also having trouble adding 15 seconds to the time when I finished each round. (math is hard ok?!) This workout is probably easier if you have someone to time you. Overall, an awesome lung burner.

*For Jump Touches, place a mark 24″ above your highest reach with a fully extended arm. Count a rep if when you jump you touch your mark.

Strength:
3 sets max ring dips

Results: 3,4,5
Thoughts: Well, i have a giant hematoma on my chest from doing bar muscle ups so that wasn't helping. Every time I do dips I feel like my chest is ripping apart. I don't feel very proud of these sets, definitely will need to try this again when I'm not feeling so sorry for myself.

Intake:
Breakfast: Protein/coffee and PBJ
Lunch: Two turkey burgers with avocados and sweet potato chips
Dinner: Cookout! Brats, grilled veggies and a smore. yummmm.
