Change of Plans

The wife got to enjoy the holiday team WOD today, so I got to enjoy another round of dungeon work on my own. Truthfully, I was pretty excited about doing this one. My original plan was to do:
5 rounds of:
   2 Muscle Ups
   40 Double Unders
that proved to be a little too troublesome. I set up for this one in my garage. The rings are still new and were pretty cold and so were my hands. I haven't gotten any chalk yet, so holding on to them became a little tricky. I got through the first round no problem. Jumped on to the rings for the 2nd round and just couldn't do it. Tried half a dozen times over the next two minutes and just couldn't pull it off.

FRUSTRATED!!

So I went to plan B:
5 rounds of:
   10 Ring Dips
   20 Squats
   40 Double Unders
 = 7:41

*Not bad. Went 3 rounds unbroken on the rings dips, then it was 6-4 & 6-2-2. Goal was to keep moving on the squats despite the burn and work on hip hinging to take some stress off the quads. Worked out quite well, until the last two rounds. Kept moving, but started creeping forward in the last two sets and really felt the difference. I can do DUs great when I'm fresh, but once my legs and shoulders go it's tough to keep it together and that's what I was hoping to do better on. Wasn't very happy with how I did with such a short number of reps. Broke 2-3 times per round during rounds 2-5.

Body weight stuff really needs work. Training to fight through the "burn" a little better and being able to stay proficient in skill work needs to be addressed. I feel a lot of that is a mental thing...need to "fight through the suck" a little harder!
