Modified Nancy

5 rounds of:
50 Double Unders
15 Overhead Squats, 95 pounds

Double unders…why are they so difficult? Do you practice them outside of the gym? Do you think that 3x the singles is the equivalent to doubles?

Who loves burpees??

  4. Double Unders… I bought myself a rope and I’ve been practicing. I practiced so much last week that my calfs have been hurting for 9 days (not exaggerating).

    Lower back felt fine during the workout…and then when it was over. TIGHT! Stupid back!

  6. Kevin, not sure I’ll be able to make it in… my car won’t start… but keeping my fingers crossed that it will later this afternoon or that someone’ll be around to boost me!

  7. interesting workout. I heart double unders and HATE OHS…this workout should be called Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

  8. Kevin, I may not be able to make it at 6:30. What weight should I use for OHS if I do this at home?

    That was tough transitioning between the two.
    Kevin, you taught me something valuable. “If you are locked and in the groove… don’t put the bar down.” I listened and it worked!

    This WOD had me worried all day cause I’ve had sore shoulders.
    Maybe I should have been a little faster…. but it’s all forgotten now cause of my Double Under PRs!!! 🙂
    Did 31 DUs in Round 1 … and then …
    did 39 Dus in Round 4 🙂

    Wow i loved this WOD so much fun Double Unders are one thing i always enjoy in a WOD. Doing a WOD at 6:30 feels so much different then 6am i had so much more energy coming into the gym tonight even Pull Ups felt easy today! Great job everyone!

    This was a tough one. By the last round, my 20 DU’s were miserable and completed just 1 at a time…the coordination just wasn’t there by this point. Great Job to all the girlies at 6 a.m. Welcome aboard Sonia!

    Well….. sipping on 3 fingers of scotch with an ice cube trying not to think about the SCREAMING coming from my calves.
    OKAY! So the only reason I finished within the 25 mins is because I didn’t put the bar down on the last set of OHS. Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I managed to get in a lot of double unders today. 3 singles, 1 DU, 3 singles, 1 DU, etc..
    Crazy WOD! I liked it better at the end… but now with how my legs feel… I hate it again. Okay, enough time typing… I’ve been neglecting my scotch.

    Great work 6:30 crew!
    Cheers!

    1. I had a few drams myself when I got home, just keep it up it will make all the pain go away! Here’s to the Highlands!

    DU felt great, but my OHS were torture. I started with 45lbs but my technique is so unsafe..so I went down a lot in weight! Great push 5:30 crew. 🙂

  19. Squat Clean (5 reps) – 65-75-85-95-105(4)

    Good job everyone!!

  20. Deadlift 5X 135/155/175/205/225
    50 double unders done 5-10 + 135 single
    15 OHS #bar
    5 rounds in 13:05
    I’ve never done OHS, so I’m pretty glad that Kevin let me use no weight for the first attempt. My shoulders have been pretty tight as well after the first week of Crossfit. Double unders still seem tough to link together. Still need to work on my flexibility as well – my OHS needs to get lower. Great workout from the 5:30 class though.
