Today was a great day for a workout.

WOD
Max Box Jump
THEN
5 Rounds:
6 Push Jerks (135/95)
6 Ring Dips
6 Box Jumps (75%)

RESULTS
31" box jump
65#, red band, 24"box+25lb weight
5:37 or 5:17 can't remember :)

ANALYSIS
Box jumps were fun, although I am still a little gun shy on the actual jump. My cycling is getting really good, which makes me happy :)  I probably could have gone heavier on the push jerk but wanted to be speedy and finish around 5min mark, which I did.  Ring dips were comfortable on the red band. In fact, I tried to do a dip sans band - yeah, not quite ready for that... but with some practice I will get there. It wasn't a complete failure to push up; I was just about 1/2way.

Post WOD Billie, Layne and I did 100 butterfly sit-ups for time (3:35) and practiced pull-ups.  We are trying a new thing to build capacity (us three ladies!) - after every WOD we cycle pull-ups adding one PU to the cycle each day.  So we started the cycle at 2 today, which we all did comfortably.  Wednesday we will attempt to do three, Thursday four and so forth.  If you fail at a number, stay at that number until you get it.  The goal is to get to 10 cycled pull-ups by mid-April.  I felt so comfortable and strong with the pull-up today, and even threw out a strict pull-up. I find I have a lot more power without the band - I think I get a larger range of motion in my hips/with my kip.
