Does it hurt yet?

Smolov for the day:
1x3 65% = 140 lbs
1x3 70% = 160 lbs
1x4 80% = 185 lbs
4x5 90% = 195 lbs


WOD
2 rounds of this Metcon:
5 minutes to complete
12 kb swings (44 lb / 35 lb)
12 thrusters (95 lb / 65 lb)

then
1 minute of max burpee box jumps

1 min rest

Not afraid of the smolov sets anymore! In my first set of the 90%, I failed the last rep, but this was pretty good considering I was on my own and getting pretty low on that squat. Holding up 195 lbs for however long it takes me to push out 5 reps is really the most difficult part of those sets, to be honest...

Bruh.
This Metcon.
I dunno what is the coach's idea giving us murderous Metcons on a Friday. After finishing the first set of kb swings I realized how hard the next 10 minutes of my life were going to be, and of course they wouldn't let me do this at anything below RX cuz it's just 12 little thrusters!

Maybe if the rest time was 2 minutes I woulda finished the full set in round 2 as well.

Still deeply in love with Girl Coach. I hope she comes tomorrow.
