WOD
Three rounds for time of:
Power Clean 135 pounds, 15 reps
21 Double unders
Post time to comments.
I would like to be appointed the official Greeter of the Newbies. Eddie can vouch for my amazing skills which kept him coming back for more.
Well after the filthy 50 this looks like a dream of a workout. Oh...not to mention post filthy 50 I was dry heaving out front.
4:55 - damn those double unders were tough...plan was to go unbroken on the cleans...didnt quite happen that way....went unbroken then 10/5 and 12/3.
All those olympic lifting classes have done wonders for my WOD's, i wouldn't have been able to finish this workout a month ago and i finished under seven minutes today. always nice to see some improvement
Power cleans 55#, and actually did double unders for the first time today! Time was 11:30.
cleans are getting better i feel. i was shocked how hard it was to do double unders after the cleans. 7:27 time. Cardio level needs to get better...
5:57 My cardio is lacking to say the least. Josh G. you are a machine!!!
Firehouse WOD, 100 OHS for time with 95 lbs., 7:56. The guys at the firehouse said this workout is called Captain Manhattan, but I couldn't find that on BTWB. Oh well, it was a cool WOD that I definitely will attempt again. Hope all is well.
Since I've been told that I am no longer allowed to use 'training wheels' I will be doing this WOD RX'd..............................
Wish me luck....
@Brian - there is no way I can do 25 burpees underwater.
woah.
watch this dude clean & jerk 355 about 1/2 way through this video from the main site in the Regionals.

5:11 was able to string together all but 3 of the double unders on the last round. where was my ability to do DU yesterday?!
Haley, what exactly are you doing for Eddie that keeps them coming back for more?
Drew, how do you know until you've tried? The secret to underwater burpees is to pace yourself; don't rush.
Taunt him. Example: Chris Ramirez's first day "Are you really sweating that much during the warm up?" He told me one day he would kick my butt and has continued to come and kick my ass.
Good job on rxed weight Lizzy!
4:06, rx'd
Should have been sub 4 min, but my double unders continue to be a sticking point.
8:49 today. I'm jump-rope retarded.
underwater burpees....hmm, what about those of us who float?
