The Filthy Fifty

I woke up today and decided it would be a good day to tackle the Filthy Fifty, a good chunk of which I did as Rx’d. Last time I attempted it I choked about three exercises in, so I was very nervous about doing the WOD today, but, well, there’s a part of the 300 training video where one of the athletes says that if you’re not nervous before your workout, you might not be training hard enough: 00:24:

I mean, it might be macho bulls**t, but I can buy still buy it. I am often nervous before doing the big stuff, like trying to top Grace or Fran, or doing anything 1-1-1-1-1. Anyway, so today was going to be the Filthy Fifty, and I was not going to choke:

-50 24″ Box Jumps (I did 20″)
-50 Jumping Pull-ups (as Rx’d)
-50 One-pood KB swings (as Rx’d)
-50 Walking Lunges (as Rx’d)
-50 KTE (I did 95# floor wipers, 50 on each side, which was plenty hard)
-50 45# push press (as Rx’d)
-50 Back Extensions (I used one of the welded bars of a Nautilus machine and a Swiss ball)
-50 Wall Ball (I did goblin squats with a 25# KB)
-50 Burpees (I did full military push-ups instead which again, was plenty hard)
-50 Double Unders (I did 150 singles)

All told: 35:27, which is just under half an hour faster than when I did it last time, which was in my first week of Crossfit. This was before I knew about scaling anything. I am now at six months, still scale it, although I do all the reps. And yes, I definitely felt like puking afterwords.
