4 burpees

WOD:  6 rounds + 4 burpees (partner did 7 rounds)

CASH-OUT:  none

This was difficult because of the technique.  I quickly switched to 55# (from 65#) as the lunges were nearly impossible.  I used the same leg motion as the push jerk to get under the bar and use less of my arms.  The rest between each round was definitely warranted, although I think next time, we could aim for 1 round per minute.  For the last few rounds, the last 2 reps of the lunges were not quite touching the ground, so that I wouldn’t topple over trying to get back up from the kneeling position.

CASH-OUT:  2 20-foot rope climbs, my first ever!  Woohoo!  🙂

Enjoyed this WOD and it made me focus on the push jerk, not a common movement.  It makes a big difference in how much you don’t use your arms.  The legs were jelly at the beginning of each run because the legs are used so much for the push jerks.  This is meant to be a sprint, so push jerk is the lift to use on the C&J.  Looking forward to doing this one again with 10 more pounds on the bar.
