Ugh… Mary – 3 bodyweight movements. And I have a lot of bodyweight. This was not a fun one for me, but I tried to bring down the scaling from last time.

3+2. HSPU to abmat and 5kg plate. Pistols to agro box, 20kg plate, and abmat

Today is my one year CFF birthday, and I was psyched to see this workout. The first time I did it in October, it was ugly. Like one of my ugliest workouts ever. I clearly remember laying facedown on the mat, thinking, “Joe wouldn’t have let me get into this mess if he thought it would actually kill me. So I guess I’ll start another wall climb?” I’ve had this thought more than once since then.

October 2011: 5 rounds + 22. I started out scaling HSPUs to wall climbs, but they were so rough that Joe scaled me down further to dumbbell presses mid-WOD. 20″ box for the pistols, and I had to swim my way back up after every single rep. Green band for the pull ups.

August 2012: 7 rounds + 2. HSPUs with two abmats, pistols scaled to two stacked agro boxes, pull ups with one red band. I MEAN WHOA.

Back in October, I didn’t think HSPUs were something I would EVER be able to do. I thought maybe some day I would be able to do semi-decent wall climbs, but HSPUs were way beyond the realm of possibility. Same thing with rope climbs, doubleunders, and straightening out my front leg during World’s Greatest. SKILLS, YOU GUYS. And I was the kid who tried to skip school literally every Tuesday and Thursday from first through eighth grade because I hated gym class so much.

Enough bragging. I’ll see you tomorrow.

Mary: 7 + 23 RX
7 + 20 RX on 3/29/12
6 + 17 RX the first time I did this workout.

I was hoping for 8, but pull-ups still are an issue.

Guys, I miss you. I saw a wall and was tempted to do a handstand push up in my heels. Don’t ask me how many cookies I’ve eaten. Keep up the great WODing!

That was the best thing that has ever happened before starting the clock.
