part 1: Did this starting at 4:15am. A. as many 1-5 ladders in 10 min - 225#/155# back squat; rest 5 min - Made 3 full ladders
B. BB jump squats - 30% of 1RM back squat; 6 sets of 6 reps; rest 60 sec b/t sets - 105x2, 115x4
C. GHD Sit ups - 5 sets of 20 reps; rest 45 sec b/t sets - All unbroken
Something just isn't right with my squats lately. I am sure the early morning stiffness didn't help. But I felt very weak. I did FULL squats on the jump squats, I didn't know any better, apparently that wasn't what I was supposed to do, was supposed to minimize time on the ground, period.
rest 8+ hours
part 2: Did this after getting home from work.
AMRAP Double Unders in 45 sec - 44/25/28/19/29
15 sec rest
AMRAP Chin Ups - 44/21/21/22/14
2 min rest
5 sets for total points = 3873
(points are accumulated by multiplying your total DU reps/round by the chin up reps/round, then adding all 5 sets together, i.e. round 1 = 75 DU multiplied by 40 chin ups = 3000 points for that round...add this # to the other 4 sets and that is your score)
Not really happy with myself here. I felt weak all day. My pull-ups and double unders were severely limited by my hands/grip/forearms. I started having to come off the bar simply out of fear of kipping myself staight to the ground. And I kept tripping up on the rope because my hands just didn't have any pop in them. Gotta work on grip/hand strength, I'm sure this helped.
Ladder for A is...perform 1 back squat, rack the weight on stands, take weight off the rack and back onto you, perform 2 reps, rack weight again, take weight off the rack and back onto you again, perform 3 reps..up to 5 reps, then start again at 1 rep...each time you get to 5 reps, that is one ladder.
Jump Squats in B...ensure you explode through heels on hip extension, not toes, minimal ground contact time.

Great work. As usual those pullup numbers are awesome. We both need help on DU but it will come over time.
