AMRAP

So, this 3WOD cycle has been 3 AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) I have completed two and am awaiting the third tomorrow morning.

"Mary"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups
11rounds + 5HSPU
My PR is 12rounds, no excuses just could not match the 12, close. If I had to say something about the WOD it was the pullups, usually I am able to not break them up, on this I was in the 5-8 range.

Today
Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps
7rounds, last time I did this WOD was in '08 and I was sick, I managed 4rounds before I quit. I did not make the 20min last time, this time I did and managed 7rounds. I know my weaknesses and they are for sure metcons with heavy weight. 95# is not that heavy, however, it feels much more than that during the last round of SDHP. I am still very pleased with the performance and I was gasping for air on the ground. My goal was 10rounds, maybe a little selfish but you have to push yourself.

Tomorrow is a revisit with "Nate" 12rounds last time with 1.5pood as I do not own a 2. Lets shoot for 15.
