WOD: Heavy Doubles

Warmup
stretching, joint mobility, slingshots, swings

Workout
Single rope: 30s right arm, 30s left arm for 5 minutes

5 rounds:
-5 double cleans (20kg)
-5 double presses (20kg)
-5 double racked squats (20kg)
-5 single leg deadlift, right (20kg)
-5 single leg deadlift, left (20kg)
-25 double swings (16kg)

Finished with 4 or 5 rounds on the double ropes, 30s work, 2 min rest

Results
I knew I was in for a rough night after the first 5 minutes! The heavy double stuff wasn't for time, so took rest as needed. The cleans weren't too tough, but they get the heart rate going. The presses weren't too bad, but the 24s would have been too tough. I hate squats, so I hated the squats :) I can balance a lot better on my left leg, so those deadlifts weren't bad, but it was tough keeping my balance on the right. And the swings were a killer, 25 is a lot for me. A couple rounds were broken.

There were some newer guys there doing a lighter workout and they were finishing on the ropes, so I decided to jump into the rotation after I finished my stuff and got my wind back....because why not? And I got there just in time for the rounds where we moved in close, creating more slack and making it much tougher....good stuff!!
