12.3 Primer

Finally made it to the DP this week! Woohoo! It sucks getting up this early, but it feels great once you get there and even better once your done! Had a pretty good sized crew going this morning...lots of estrogen! Back is a little tight because I didn't stretch at all yesterday. Gonna work on some mobility later today.

Strength
Weighted DH Pull Ups --- 5 x 5 w/ 35#  (5, 5, 5, 5, 4-1)
Weighted Strict Ring Dips --- 5 x 5 w/ 35# (5, 5, 5, 5, 3-1-1)
- Felt strong this morning. Had some good strong fast pulls out of the bottom. Finally lost it on the last set.

WOD
4:00 AMRAP
 12 Push Press/Jerk @ 115# (UB, UB, UB, 9-3)
 6 T2B (UB, UB, UB, 5-1)
1:00 REST
2:00 AMRAP
 Box Jumps (24") *games standard
= 4 + 30
- Knowing T2B were gonna slow me down, my goal was to stay UB on the Push Press/Jerk. I tried PP and PJ. Both have their pros and cons. The PP I felt wore out my legs a little more and PJ I felt really took a toll on my shoulders as I received the bar and maintained lockout. I had a real nice compact kip the first set of T2B, but couldn't find it on the last 3 sets. Wound up hanging on and doing some double swing thing to get up.
The Box jumps were pretty slow today too. I tried rebounding, but the landing was causing quite a bit of pain in my back. I started stepping down after about 3 or 4 and was fine. No need to aggravate my back a few days before I actually do 12.3.
- Overall, this weight is gonna get heavy quick. With as slow as I'll have to move through the T2B, if I can scrounge out 9 plus rounds in 12.3 I'll be pretty happy.
