Adding on here…
Workout 3 - 11 reps! Got that one 275 c&j in, which was a PR so that was super fun. Missed the next 8 attempts, which was tough. But happy I hit one. That being said, I know I have more in the tank.
Workout 4 - 470 reps. Kept the row pace to 1:50 and below for pretty much the majority of the entire workout. Unbroken steady pace on the GHDs and V ups. This one is just mental, how hard can you push your engine (and core) and hold on
Workout 5 - 12:13. My rope climbs suck and I have never figured out how to use my feet correctly so that slowed me down big time at the end (I think I started these around the 8 min mark). I was already pretty smoked before starting this but knew it would be over rather quickly so pushed hard. Deadlifts sets of 2 or 3 except for 315 did quick-ish singles. C2B and MU just bite off large chunks with minimal rest. Would have been a more fun workout if I wasn’t feeling so toasted.
Overall, super fun and challenging QFs. Things I need to work on (probably in this order): any type of HSPU, heavy barbell work (especially snatch and c&j), and technical skill work (crossovers, rope climbs). Can’t wait for next year.
