Today's WOD was tough. It was a 15min AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) of:
800m run
20 power cleans-105#
30 burpees
40 walking lunges
50 double unders
I only got through one round plus a 525m run on the 2nd round. Whatever. I was okay with the WOD as a whole. I didn't quite hit competitor weight at 115#, but I did more than regular rx'd at 65#, so all was good.
Decided to work on my bar muscle ups afterwards. It's on my 2014 goals list and I'm not going to get it if I don't work on them at least twice a week. So I started warming up with red/purple bands. I did a set of six on these and they felt good. Last week I'd hit 3 reps on red alone after my 10 reps on red/purple so I decided to drop down to just red after 6 reps today. I was surprised at how much easier they seemed today. I hit 7 reps on just the red band, then decided to try two purple bands just for kicks. I got 3 more reps on the two purple bands! What?! I did try twice with just one purple after that but I think I was too fatigued at that point. But I can see it. I think that maybe, sometime this year I might just get one! Progress feels good. What are your goals? What are you doing to get there?

This is my before photo. I weighed 15 pounds more, was exhausted all of the time and wasn't getting better at crossfit, running or life. It was time for a change.
