A gnarly wod for me today. A chipper couplet (my favorite kind) and with squat cleans as one of the exercises (another strength). But the second exercise was ring dips, crap. My ring dips have improved, definitely, but they are still one of my biggest weaknesses in the gym. I'd done this workout once before with 185# but did not complete all the dips and had to do about half of them jumping. Today I went with 135# (the prescribed weight for the wod) but was able to complete all of the ring dips. They took forever but still, to be able to complete all 45 was a big step up. "Elizabeth" is 3 rounds, 21-15-9 of:
-135# squat cleans
-ring dips
time=17:54
I finished the first round of squat cleans in 1:20, the second round in about 1:10 and the final round in 1 minute. If you're doing the math, the squat cleans only took me 3:30. That means the ring dips took me over 14 minutes. The last set I was only getting every other attempt on the rings. Just kept failing then having to wait and recover. It was awful. This should probably be about a 7 or 8 minute workout for me. Still have a lot of work to do on the gymnastics skills/strength.
I finished the day with 50 knees to elbows and 50 ghd hip extensions un-timed.
