"A slightly fatigured Isabel"

Yo... man, that was a burner.

First thing, the warmup was something different.  I mean, when you give me a choice, I'm going to choose less work, most of the time.  3x thru the barbell complex, or build to a heavy 2 rep snatch.  Easy choice.  Plus I prefer straight lifting to the compounded movements of a complex.  Not by a lot, but enough that it's not a difficult choice. 

My snatching is still atrocious.  With the belly to contend with still, I get out in front of the body.  I also don't get as "upright" as I'd like before I pull, another belly issue I'm sure.  That said, I matched my previous PR of 125.  I could have done more, but 125 looked and felt ugly, and I wasn't really trying, or wanting to PR for a double... not that I knew then what the PR was at the time. 

That ate up 25 minutes.  Now for the WOD.  20 minute AMRAP again, multi part.  2 minutes strict pullups.  I think I need to put the band higher, as I'm only able to get my forehead to the bar...  6 minutes to do 3 rounds of 10 shoulder to overhead, and then 10 bar over burpees.  I tried hard to keep up with folks, but I can't burpee with any real speed to save my life.  2 more minutes of strict pullups.  6 minutes for 5 rounds of 10 pushups and 10 situps.  Doing princess pushups, I tend to tighten everythign, including my calves... the cramp I got in the damaged one was severe.  I didn't do many pushups after that, electing to do a lot of situps.  bleh!  Last 2 minutes gave us more pullups. 

But wait, that's only 18 minutes. 

Right you are.  From minute 18 to minute 28 (as in you have 10 minutes), you get to do Isabel in "a slightly fatigued state".  Yeah.  Using the same shoulder to overhead weight of 95lbs, I proceeded to do this thing.  It was rough, my arms were smoked, but I didn't take weight off the bar, even when I really really wanted to... 6 minutes and 28 seconds later, I was done. 

And I mean done.  I've never sat around that much after a workout.  I mean I sat, got up (before everyone else mind you), cleaned up my bar, sat some more, cleaned up a box and some abmats, sat some more... twas amazing really.  After I was finally done sitting, I thought gee, lets try to row that mile now.  HAHAHAHA.  I got about 200m in, and my hammys and quads were like no sir, you're done for the day. 

50/50 on going Wednesday.  I want to go, more to prove it to myself... but the WOD part is just a nasty (to me) 80 wb 40 t2b, 40wb, 20 t2b, 20wb, 10 t2b... 80 wall balls... mental battle of the week if I go.  Woof.
