A lot of work done today, highlighted by the 2 minute interval AMRAPs in the evening. If you’re looking to build your local muscular endurance this is a great way to do it. 2 minutes between sets is enough of an interval to recover substantially without lowering the heart rate too much. The combination of exercises was such that no one movement pattern was played out, thus allowing the body to feel decent during its first few repetitions of each. My totals for the WOD were as follows:

MU – 17, KB – 62, GHD – 53, Thruster – 34, Sumo – 47.

Definitely gassed afterwards, but overall pretty happy with the output. Looking forward, the new sectional WOD looms Saturday and is screwing up my plans to front squat Friday. Haven’t decided what to do about this yet.
