Tuesday's WOD

For time:
155 pound Power clean 15 reps
30 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 12 reps
24 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 9 reps
18 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 6 reps
12 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 3 reps
6 Ring dips

For my warm up I started with a 45lb bar, and went through the motions of the power clean and did some front squats to warm up the legs. I then did 3rounds of 5 power cleans (starting with the 45lb bar and scaled to 95lb, then 135lb) and 15 double unders. When I started the WOD I was surprised with the Power cleans. The weight just seemed to float up. I broke up the first round for the fear of smoking myself to early. I knew the ring dips would slow me down. After attending the Gymnastics Cert back in November, Jeff Tucker (GSX CrossFit) says there is no such thing as a kipping ring dip. Well if he is right or wrong I dont care, I just figured him to have more experience then me and doing ring dips with no kip is definitely correct. So I did all ring dips starting from extension at top and dipping shoulders to touch the rings and then back up no leg kick. I was favoring my left side a lot and realised this about the 3rd round. Anyhow I was shooting for under 16 minutes, and did it in 20:03. Not the time I wanted but I feel good. looking for to OHS tonight.... feels good to have the motivation back.

Good to see you back. Tucker would not approve of my ring dips...but oh well.

Wednesday the 21st? I will check at home tonight, but I should be able to go. I am looking forward to it.
