UK CrossFit Throwdown Series – WOD 01
This is my first attempt at the UK CrossFit Throwdown Series - WOD 01, the WOD comprised of:
7 minute amrap:
- 5 HSPU
- 7 OHS [50/30KG]
- 30 DU’s
I ended up doing this strict as I couldn’t do kipping HSPU’s…or at least I had never tried them before. So after being a little dissapointed with 6 ROUNDS [my arms eventually gave in] I took to practicing the kip. It took me no time at all after a few wise words from the Gymnastic coach so I actually attempted this WOD again about 30 minutes after I’d finished my first attempt…however I started failing on the 4th round so gave up. This was a really good WOD though and enjoyed it a lot…it will be interesting to see if the kip helps me out when I try this again fresh.
Looking forward to the next one.
