WOD
"Angie"
100 pull-ups
100 push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats
RESULTS
I completed half Angie - 50 reps in each set. I scaled with a blue band and knee push-ups (knpu). This WOD was completed in 17:22.
ANALYSIS
When I walked into the gym, I was convinced that I was going to complete 100 reps. After the warm-up Andrew had put a suggested scale for each of us on the board - my scale: 50, blue band, knpu. There were several thoughts swimming in my head: I can do 100 reps, I can do 50 with full push-ups, what, blue band for the entire WOD?! So I agreed with Andrew on the scaling and after a few embarrassing "I can'ts" I fell into a rhythm and busted out 50 pull-ups - the last ten being pure muscle-up because my hands were ripped and I couldn't get a good enough grip for a kip. The push-ups, sit-ups and squats went pretty fast. All in all, I was happy with the outcome. I wish I had taped my hands the way I always tape them - today I was trying a new method - because there wasn't muscle fatigue (well, a little ;) with my pull-ups just grip issues with ripped up hands. I rocked that blue band!! And look forward to abusing it across the next few months - or it abusing me, HA!
