36 DB 5x5x(DL, HClean, PP, Sqt) 17:28@130/170
DB2x25lb were harder than I initially thought. Focus was on form. Secret I discovered in third round was to keep abs tight. It helped with clean and more importantly overhead positioning.
Skill:squat. Focus on hand over head, hamstring stretching and tracking knees over toes.

Not anywhere close to PR of 125. I focused on form but ot was pretty bad. I really did not squats for clean. Also I didn't keep core tight which was a problem.
Skills: practiced dou lenders. Trick is to jump higher without bending knees. Hard but possible.

Classic Crossfit met con. Clean was a bit light but that helped with intensity. Form was okay. kB height was less than ideal but I focused on hip drive which helped. Same with clean where hip drive made dip unnecessary.

Steady 5k with negative split. 8min/8min/7:30min 175/184/191 finishing strong Wth sub7min pace. I wasn't hurting bad ut HR peaked at 198 so finish was near max. I also ran over a mile before and after as warmup/cool down. As planned form was focus. Of course running is easy since I am good at it and had five fingers on forcing a good form.

Biting the bullet
I have decided to take a step back. I am going to approach form more scientifically. This means tuning down the intensity a lot, doing research ahead of the wod and doing drills and subs if needed. It also means keeping gas in the tank for practice so I can practice different skill sets anytime besides one in wod. This will force me to get to the gym more often and not be Dying when i reach home. What I realized is that, i do about 3-4 woods and then get so sore that I can't continue and take Crossfit back up when I feel better. But this is high risk strategy not only for injury but also for constancy. When i try to stay with constancy, I just water down the wod so much that there is really no value added by doing that wod. I need something in between where, intensity is slow burning but continuous and my skills improve dramatically. I will give this a solid month through April 30 and I will see where it takes me.
Here is initial list of skills and drills :
Squat: knees out, hamstring stretch, hands above head, Asian squat
Rings: dips, hole and muscle up progressions
Handstand pushups
Plain pushups and pull ups
Overhead squat
Double under
Pistol: rolling

Ledesma. 6.0 rounds
31 Ladesma20min (5hspu, 10 knees2elbow, 25#DB clean) 6rounds I was too sore to do this hero workout with full energy. My arms were hurting and HSPU are hard to do with sore shoulders. I had foible getting in position first time but it got better. My vertical motion is basically nonexistent. Cleans were fun since I tried to keep form good with opening the hips and shrugg. So despite inspcreasing weight from 20# to 25#, weight wasn't the issue and cardio was main challenge.

But I must say, intensity was lacking. It was all about getting the form and consistency. I am having trouble staying back on heels in squats. But in all fairness, I am sore so I am not really regretting. In particular, right leg is tight in hamstrings and rotation....baby steps.

100 Burpee Pull-ups
12 mins 47 secs (1 mins 46 secs)
29 100 Burpees 12:47@169/181 Rx called for pull up burpees but I scaled it down to plain burpees with added restriction that bottom of burpee is full flat on ground with full body weight on torso. I thought it is easy to cheat on pushups without this discipline. I had hard time beating my last attempt of 107 in 10min. I did 90 in 10minutes and took another 2:47min for another 17. I was dying by the time I reached 100 but decided to push to make it to 107, partly to make up for a few "broken" burpees I had done with bad form.
Avg. Heartrate for each set of 10s: 126-158-166-172-174-176-177-167-176-171-172
Weaknesses:pushups past 80, coordination to jump into squat positions when tired, unnecessary "water breaks"
