Fuck me, I should have scaled this one. Almost two months off is a LONG time. I thought about using 95# but then decided to just work through it. I figured as long as I could keep it under 20mins it'd be worth it. I'm on the fence on that now.
I am fighting a nasty head cold and cannot breath, but I couldn't stand another day of doing nothing, so I went for it. Plenty of time bent over gasping for air. TT=11:35.
I think this wod would be great with lungs that work.
Glad to see you back Chas. Watch out for Rhabdo. Not joking, I've heard one the biggest risk is taking a prolonged break and then coming back 100%. Your brain is ready but your body is not.
What's up fellas! Welcome back Chas! I've been fighting strep throat and a nasty cold the past week myself. I'm feeling good enough to WOD again, so you'll see me posting on a more consistent basis. Craig I bought that same rope, I just need to practice, practice and then practice some more. I'm just not that good a jump rope in general.
In other news, there is a new CF Box that just opened up literally 5 minutes from my house. I may check it out. It's good to see some of the old posters back at it again and some new ones hitting hard.
I thought my shoulder was ready to party but after about 6 thrusters the knifing pain made me smart, I stopped doing thrusters and picked up with 2:1 pushups. Gotta be patient with injuries. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm 40, I have stuff wrong with my body, I workout very hard, and being sore and hurt will just be a part of my life that I have to work around. I guess being in pain a lot is the reward I get for not sitting on my ass.
TT 7:32 with PC's RX'd, 6 thrusters, and about 85 pushups. Still left me gasping for air big time.
Oh, I did Ab Ripper X before this, an old school P90X video of bodyweight ab/core moves. It is hard. Think I'll incorporate that more often, it's nothing but good for ya.

Glad to be back!
First WOD in over a week so I decided to scale to 95#. I'm glad I did because this one winded me good.

It felt good to workout again.
I did this one last night. 115# thrusters were a lot heavier than I expected. Cleans were good though.

Off to the gym. Later fellas.
