Everyone that came in did a fantastic job with our version of Linda. I think a lot of barriers were broken down with how to correctly do a deadlift in a workout with maintaining a neutral spine. I was loving the work ethic. The deadlifts were heavy and you know me and deadlifts. I was loving it. Even if you don't remember your time please post (to yesterday's workout) what you used for both the deadlift and the bench press and if you went up in weight in the comments. The reason being that we will do "Linda" again and I want you to know where your improvements are coming from. We have gotten a lot stronger, as Melissa has said in her comments last night, and I hope you can remember where you have come from in the beginning. I know that some of you are new but those that have been with us have made significant strides and I am totally stoked about it.
WOD
On the minute every minute for 20 minutes of:
5 Knees to Elbow
10 Jumping Pullups
15 Air Squats
Do the required number of reps for each exercise in a minutes time and whatever time remains of that minute, rest. Follow the same pattern for all twenty minutes. If your current round spills into a second minute still rest whatever remains of that second minute and continue on with the remaining rounds. This will mean that you must finish all 20 rounds no matter what. It may be 20 minutes, 21 minutes, etc... but all 20 rounds must be completed.
Scale the reps if necessary such as utilizing a 1,3,5 rep scheme or a 3,7,12 rep scheme.
I was really "enjoying" the posted workout - as much as it's possible to enjoy 'willingly' kicking your own a** - but was only able to squeeze out 9 rounds. Having some sketchy dizziness side effects from some new meds, but hopefully those should taper off here pretty quickly. It was a little frustrating because I felt pretty strong in the actual exercises and I would have liked to see what I could do.
In any case, I'm looking forward to tomorrow and testing my luck with the vertigo gods again.
