DUs are Right up my Alley / 2nd PR this week

Real pleased with the WOD tonight.

WOD1

3 rounds for time
10 OHS (95# Rx - I went with 65# as this is a lift I need to work on)
50 DUs

DUs are a strength and I zipped through them in sets of 20-30. I need to set a goal of 50 in a row and then shoot for 100. I know I can do it and all I need is more rope work. My time was either a 6:26 or an 8:26. Originally, I thought I was an 8:26 then I saw the times posted on line of the group I was with and they were in the 8 min range and I know that I beat them all with time to spare. I need to get in the habit of taking apicture of the board before I leave.

On to WOD2

Push Press 2 RM

I like the push press and maxed out at 195 a few months back. Since then I have only encountered it in a few WODs and it's not something that I spend extra time on. My goal was to get to 185 for 2 and then go up to 195 for two to see if I can do it. Long story short is that I wasn't paying attention to the weights and just zoned out adding weight. I went for an attempt which I thought was 185 and didn't commit to first rep and dumped it. Kyla (owner with her husband Ryan and a great trainer in her own right) suggested to pull the 10# bumper and replace with the smaller 10# iron weight. I had a chuckle at that but went ahead and did it and while I was doing it I noticed that I had 185 already on the bar. My last 2 reps prior to dumping were already 185 and the weight was easy. On went the iron and there I went under the bar. 3-2-1 GO. 2 reps knocked out like child's play. Then time was up. Could I have gone more? Probably. In the end though I am real happy that I did 2 at that weight. 1 alone was a PR and I believe next 1 RM will be 225.

2nd PR in a week.

On a side note, No Bread score still at 48. Zero bread today as well. Still feeling great. Made a monster pot of chili (is there anything more Paleo?) that I can munch on over the weekend.
