Stimulus WTF?



I am sure this is not the kind of change all the democrat voters voted for. I am glad to say I did not vote for this 'change' in administration.

Stomach Flu WOD

For time:
45 Double-unders
135 pound Squat clean, 45 reps
45 Ring Dips
45 Double-unders

I have been looking forward to doing this WOD since last time I did it back in the summer. I was terrible at the double unders then and my cleans were weak. Now I wanted to come at this one wit a vengeance. I have been lucky enough to catch my daughters stomach flu, and it pretty much zapped my energy for this one. I did the first 45 DU's in less than 50 seconds, it then took me 2 minutes to get three cleans done. I was just running on empty. By the 22 full clean, I switched to power cleans, and finished with a total time of 23:01 funny thing is it is still faster than the last time I did it.
note: I will not be doing Fran this time around either..... I need to get healthy.

Tuesday WOD 'Diane'

"Diane"

21-15-9 of
225lb Deadlift, HSPU's

I have decided this week, to kind of mix up the .com WOD's. I am not going to write my own WOD's but maybe try something different but stay in tune with the main websites focus. So yesterday was heavy deads, I opted to do Diane. I have not done Diane in a long time, and handstand push ups are something I definitely need more of.
anyhow my time was 2 minutes slower than my PR, last night it was 15:33.
I have been really suffering in the HSPU, The last WOD with these I was a lot slower than previous as well. I noticed last night I was favoring my 'strong' shoulder most of the workout. I may just start doing HSPU's everyday. add one a day kind of philosophy. actually yes confirmed, I will do 1 HSPU as part of my warm up tonight, then 2 HSPU's tomorrow etc....

Saturdays WOD

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
Row 250 meters
Sumo deadlift highpull 95 pounds, 21 reps
Pull-ups 15 reps

I did this one today, but I thought it said 12 pull ups. Well grip was a huge factor so 3 more pull ups per round would have made a difference for sure.
I finished it in 5 rounds with no time to spare.
