WOD: 6 Minute Set

Workout

-6 minute long cycle set

-6 minute alternating swing

-3 minute single rope (2")

Results

The long cycle set felt good, 42 reps. I used my competition weight, double 16s. I averaged a little less than 7 reps a minute and stepped it up the last minute to hit 42. I'm shooting for 70 reps in 10 minutes, so I'm happy with that. Plus, I think I had another couple minutes in me too, so I'm feeling confident that I'll be ready come November!!

For the swings, I started with a 16 then dropped down to a 12 and finally an 8. I was feeling it in my lower back, wind and grip were fine. I probably should have just started with the 12.

I managed to go the entire 3 minutes on the thick rope without a break (two hands on one rope). That 2 inches gets pretty thick pretty quick...grip killer!!
