Fitness - WOD - 9/21

Again, I noticed a huge change in my level of energy and overall feeling of recovery after getting 8 full hours of sleep last night. I've got today off so I slept in a little bit and attended a later class. We started the class with a really long warm up session and lots of stretching witch felt great. After that we went straight into the WOD, no focus today.

WOD: 5 rounds for time
6 Thrusters, 3/4 body weight - 60Kg (132.3#)
12 burpees
18 Kettle bell swings - 32Kg (70.5#)

Time: 14:41
Calories burned (WOD only): 512

Today's WOD was done with a partner and each had to cycle through the exercises 5 times until out time could be recorded. This one was a lot of work, we used more then the prescribed weight. I started on Thrusters and my partner started on the KB swings. I caught up to him by the 3rd round and spent some time waiting for him to finish the thrusters (since we could do the burpees and swings separately). But to be fair, he told me 60Kg was the most he's ever tried with Thrusters and he should have probably used a lighter weight. He did a good job pushing through it though. And I can't lie, it was nice to have a little built in rest.

The burpees are the only thing that slowed me down on this one. After round 2 I had to break them up into mini sets. I was stoked though because I got through all 5 rounds without breaking on the thrusters and I used the 32Kg bell for the swings without breaking on those either. Usually I would have gone with the 24Kg bell but some of the coaches have approached me and said it was time to start working in the 32Kg beast. I used to have a lot of trouble with my kettle bell form but I've grown in leaps and bounds in that area. It's amazing how once you get your form dialed in, how fast you're able go up in weight.
