@ Crossfit Teesside
15 minute AMRAP
25 unbroken double unders
15 over-the-box jumps
10 alternating pistol squats
7+21 RXD
Pistols are one of my favourite things to do so I loved this wod, but definitely did not enjoy trying to do box jumps with knee sleeves on! ..I should have known better, they are really good for heavy squats but they cut of your circulation for any cardio type work and restrict your range of motion making explosive box jumps problematic. THe other problem is once they are on they hard to get off! I had a very slow and awkward start struggling to do box jumps in heavy weightlifting shoes (also good for pistols but heavy, not good for jumping) and restrictive knee sleeves. In the end I stopped and pulled them down, which wasn't easily done so I wasted a bit of time faffing about with that. ..Unbroken double unders, I love it when these come in wods cos I am usually quite good (if I can control my panic!) but heavy do-wins makes doubles a bit clumsy and I fluffed about 4 sets altogether!!
..all things considered I was still very pleased with my score :)
