Just Gotta Lat It Go

Monday
"Mary"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups

They give a choice between Mary or Cindy. I was very tempted to do Cindy again as I wanted to see my improvements, however, I had never done Mary and I need to work on my weaknesses which would be legs. I completed 10rounds in 20:40. I thought I was going to get 10 under 20:00, however, on the start of my 10th round I looked and thought I had 2.5min when in actuality I had 1.5min. Great workout all exercises were done unbroken and my lats are sore. 150pullups in 20min is alot, unbroken at that. I have been sore before but this time it goes from armpit to about belly button level. Just kept pulling with the goal of no broken sets. The pistols were also fun as when I was finished and walking back to the locker room I could feel my hips shaking. Makes for alot of people staring.

Yesterday
Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
1rep max dead lift. My goal was 265 as my previous max with the Crossfit Total WOD was 245.
185, 205, 225, 245, 255
It was a PR but my back was rounded with the last rep and I am really trying to be as perfect as possible. I did not want to try for 6 and 7 as I knew if I went higher I would really round my back and it would be unduely sore the next day.

Today was a rest day as I had a continuing education course on home modification and I did not get home until I started typing this. I am anxious for tomorrows WOD that Josh has already done. The squat cleans are what gave my back problems last time which is what is in store for me tomorrow, however, I am going to own it. I will have to scale the weight to 115 from 135 to complete. Goal 25min we will see.
