last Sunday workout of 2007
(blech!) 5 rounds of max double-unders in 1 minute (30 second rest in between)

I hate double unders. They end up being so painful, as the tips of my toes and the front of my shins are all red from being whipped with the stupid jump rope it’s like pure torture and it’s really not satisfying at all, even when you finish and you can say “I did 107 double unders in 5 minutes of work” you still don’t feel good about it because your shins are about to peel off.
As Many Rounds As Possible in 15 minutes
7 burpee box jumps (23″ box)
7 pressing snatch balance (35# barbell) - this isn’t as dirty as it sounds
7 ab-mat sit-ups
total rounds: 6
I felt certain that I was going to smack my head onto the box doing burpee box jumps so the fact that I didn’t was an accomplishment in itself. Also I managed to figure out how to get it all down in one motion which was rather nice. I can probably use a bigger box next time. I’d never done these pressing snatch things before, they were really hard but sort of fun as I like anything that involves holding weight overhead (probably because it increases the risk of me dropping something on my skull and I like to live on the edge, WHAT!).
I just realized that this talk of box and snatch is probably going to get me a lot of spam in the next few days.
