CrossFit WOD: YMCA sucks.

Today, in my attempt to do some of the benchmark WODs our gym prescribed, I went to the YMCA to see if I could attempt "Elizabeth." 3 words - the YMCA sucks. The gym didn't even have a dip station. To be fair to myself, I didn't even attempt the WOD so I'm going to do it first thing when I get back to Ohio.

Instead, I worked on some skill exercises. I did a 5x5 of overhead presses (135 lbs) and a 5x10 of squat cleans (155 lbs).  After this I did the following:
5 handstand pushups
10 burpees
20 30" inch box jumps (they actually had the stacking boxes with the clips - nice!)

x 4 rounds

After this, I did 2x30 burpee box jumps (on the 30" box again), and 1x20 of burpee side jumps.

Very nice burner and I'm looking forward to doing "Nate" to scale when I get back.

Best,
Tyler
