15.2 Rx & Filling in my tattoo

by in Life, Training and tagged | Leave a comment

Sunday I get to the Box 40 min before the start of yoga, and warm up for my attempt at 15.2 Rx. I was really happy with my Scaled attempt and decided I could either attempt to do a minimum of 9 reps more to be able to start the next round, or see how many reps of the first round of Rx I could manage. It was the quickest and most mentally tough WOD since I started 3 months ago.  Same set up as  the scaled with 3 min rounds, but starting with

2x 10 Overhead squats 43kg
10 Chest to bars (C2B)

15.2 Scaled and After WOD with the guys

by in Life and tagged | Leave a comment

Week two of the Open was a combo of overhead squats and chest to bars. Lucky for me the scaled WOD was chins instead of C2B and the OH squat weight was 29kg instead of 43kg. A few guys from the box decided we should have an AfterWOD when we had finished 15.2. So most of us were in the box at the same time after work.

After judging one Rx and one scaled it was my turn to give it a go.

3 min rounds of

2x 6 OH Squats 29kg + 6 chins

2x 8 OH Squats + 8 chins

2x 10 OH Squats + 10 chins

2x 12 OH Squats + 12 chins 

etc…. As long as you completed all reps with in 3 min you could start the next round.

15.1 Rx & Yoga vs Running

So yesterday I had time over to make an attempt at 15.1 Rx. I felt recovered from Friday’s scaled attempt and had planned on working out at 16:30 anyways.

I get to the Box, and warm up. Due to a miss-communication between me and the manager, I wound up having to wait 30 min extra, but I was able to judge two others. I had now seen four different people do the Rx and three others do the scaled. After doing my own scaled, I realized quickly that going from 38kg to 52kg was not going to be an issue, but going from hanging knee raises to toes-to-bars was going to be my Achilles heal.
