Wednesday’s WOD: Woe is me

13 Feb

My… everything hurts.

The fact of the matter is that every WOD you do can be the most difficult one you’ve ever done, if you put everything you have into every movement. Even though some WODs have left me more tired at the end, none has left me more sore than this one. On the other hand, It was a huge victory because it established some new personal bests for me and once more boosted me above my previous plateau:

For Time:

  • 50 Box Jumps (20″ box)
  • 40 Pullups
  • 40 Pushups
  • .
  • .
  • 10 Pullups
  • 10 Pushups
  • 50 Box Jumps

21:14 RX. Thats all kipping pullups and chest-to-deck pushups.

For those of you counting, that is 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 box jumps. I believe that on that day, I did more pullups than I had on all previous days of my life combined. Now that’s a freakin’ accomplishment.

The aftermath wasn’t pleasant, but it’s a reminder of the positive physical and mental changes that one undergoes by breaking through those mental (I don’t know if I can do this, but I’ll leave it all on the mat) and physical (My body has never done 100 pullups before…) barriers.
