Well I finally found a local box - only 20 mins away.
So I went down there after speaking to the owner to get my form checked and if ness. do an on ramp class as they say everybody needs to that before starting any woods.
Warm up was double unders - I've got a double under before but I tried.
It was lighter rope that i was used too, well wire actually. I tried a few times a failed but then I got a double under Hoorah!! my first ever double under. Didn't manage another but chuffed I got my first ever!
He gave me an 8kg (light/training) oly bar and tested me in the 9 fundamental movements. Air squat, front squat, o/h squat, deadliest, Sumo-deadlift high pull, Shoulder press, push press, push press and medicine ball clean.
I have to keep my chest up during air squats (which I knew), keep elbows up during front squats (I kinda knew also but its hard) and don't put bar back too far when OHS'ing (which I been told before). So all in all I was pretty pleased. Wow those med balls are big.
So I then did the strength wod which was clean and jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1
I did 8kg oly bar with training plates twice (power clean), then added 2 x 5kg (full clean), then 2 x 1.25kg plates and I managed it but that was close to my limit and I didn't want to upset my wrist. So then I backed off and did another 2 clean and jerks with 18kg and then for the last one but the 1.25's back on and clean & jerked 20.5kg.
Then he decides to get me to do the wow with everybody - Whitten - total craziness
5 rounds for time
22 KB Swings 32/24kg
22 box jumps 24"
400m run
22 burpees
22 wallballs
I tried a 12kg KB which was ok but i knew 22 reps was going to be a struggle regardless of the 5 rounds!!! He gave me a 20" box - OMG it was high. I told him about my tibial torsion so I stepped down from the box jumps and didn't do the run he subbed 50 skips. And i got a 3kg Med ball for the wall balls and the grey line was higher than i was used to OMG.
Well we were short on time so he soften it to 4 rounds and then 3 rounds but I knew I would be lucky to finish one once I started the box jumps. I was jumping up into a full squat and standing up it was really hard and boy I just couldn't get enough oxygen in at all. He kept shouting me on telling me to keep going and I was determined to keep going but wow it was tough, especially because its so long since I've done a wod!
I soldiered on and eventually finished a round - much slower than everybody else and completed 1/2 the next round including my 50 skips.
OMG was I gonna ache after this!!!
