For time:
50 Box jump, 24 20 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 .75 pood
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 15 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 6 pound ball
50 Burpees
50 Double unders

Last time I did Filthy 50 was in June of 2011. My time was 38:04. I did strict K2E because I couldn't kip and string them together. I had to lower the weight for the Push Press cause my intercostal muscle was strained the day before during "Nate."

Highlights: 

1. Jumping Pull ups done in 2 sets
2. KB Swings done in 3 sets
3. Was able to kip my K2E and string them together for the first time
4. Wall Balls were complete in 3 sets
5. Burpees I did not break once, did them straight through. Albeit very slow but I never took a moment to rest. 
6. Did all 50 double unders straight, unbroken. 

Here is my shitty mid 50 burpees face. I love it!

I think my eating clean really help me put on the intensity for this WOD. Not really sure where I got the energy to dig deep and pull out some many reps at one time per set. I even surprised myself. Like during the wall ball, I would get to 10 reps and think should I stop and rest... No, just a few more, then a few more... It was crazy. 

Well the outcome of doing 50 burpees straight, taking a calculated 30 sec rest before going into my Double Unders, was that my post wod state was a dire one. My face went completely numb and I was dizzy for about 40 mins after calling time. I couldn't sit up, but had to lay on my back not being able to feel my lips, not unclench my jaw. It was pretty trippy. 

It feels good to know that I can take myself to that edge of intensity.

Super happy. 

Lung burn

Five rounds for time of:

135 pound Deadlift, 9 reps

135 pound Hang power snatch, 6 reps

135 pound Overhead squat, 3 reps

This WOD is written out where your bar is loaded with one weight (I believe rx for mens is 135#), but since I was doing this on my own in the middle of the day, I opted to load 2 separate bars, since a 40# deadlift would be cake. 

This put me on my ass. 40#s is conservatively light IMHO, but for some reason the hang power snatch had me in submission. Jumping the bar up and getting underneath it was still very taxing. Then to stabilize it to overhead squat.

I liked this WOD a lot. Because I've been having some type of cold with chest/sinus infection, I really felt the lung burn afterwards... Really tight and hot, like there was not in my chest. Had me coughing all types of crazy shit. 

Why can't they all be like this?

Strength:
3-3-3-3 Power Clean

WOD:
21-15-9 reps for time of:
135 pound Clean
GHD sit-up

I can't find the picture of my time. I got 7:12 @ 65#s. I loved this WOD. It was hard and fast. I love WOD with powerlifting in it. My hip flexor was giving me problems, so for the last round I had to shorten my lever for the sit up. 

For the strength portion, I failed at 80#s, so 75# is PR.
