    After the warm-up we tested max box jump and broad jump.
    Got to 44 inches on the box, PR is 47.75. Tried for 48 and 46(?) and got close, could almost stand up and hold it on the last attempt.
    Got 102 inches on broad jump with each of the 3 attempts getting better.

    14 on tabata squats, PR is 16 which I think is from around the time I started. I was shooting for 20 and lost it the last 3 rounds, hitting 19, then 17, then 14.

    Got 8 muscle ups in 4 minutes. On muscle ups I was finally able to do several without a jump. The rings were as high as my hands could reach so I wasn’t jumping into them, but I didn’t use a jump to actually do the muscle up. This has been a sticking point before with WODs including the muscle up. Focused on getting the actual rep instead of going for speed. I had 3 mis-attempts. If I spend some time focusing on form this should get better. Technique first then speed right?

    17 on Tabata Squats. 17 on MUs. Was trying to break 20 on both but it wasn’t meant to be.

    I’m humbled even more after today’s WOD.

    13 Tabata Squats (on a positive note, 3 more than fundamentals)
    Equiv to 6 MU’s (18 pull-ups 23 dips)

    Thanks Hudson for your encouragement for Dan and I today. It was a quiet little lunch class.

    20 Tabata squats X 15 MUs = 300

    Disappointed in my MU ability, but as Bacon said “high heart rate changes everything.” Was also pleasantly surprised at my ability to do Tabata squats with horrible DOMs from a double up of 400m walking lunges and 3RM thrusters on Monday.

    Finished with 18 tabata squats X 18 muscle ups = 324.

    Held 21 squats through round 4, then steadily dropped to 18 on the last 2 rounds. I was happy with my muscle up score. I wanted to be legit on each one, so I really focused on turning my hands out at the bottom of each rep. Was shooting for 5 reps per minute, but fell a tad short on the final round.

    Jordan killed this wod today after the 6:15 class. Nice job, lady.
