We started out today’s workout with some strength work – three sets of eight snatch-grip deadlifts.  I worked my way up to 177# at which point Landon pointed out some poor form when lowering the bar.  I did another two reps at that weight with correct form, and went on to the WOD.

3 Rounds of:

30 Double Unders
30 KB Swings (45# / 35#)

I brought the jump rope I use at home, which is a lot lighter than the ropes at the gym.  It is also adjusted almost perfectly for my height.  Despite this, I didn’t feel too good on the double-unders.  I was only able to string 3 together in a row at the most, where my P.R. is eight with a gym rope.  I haven’t practiced double-unders with my rope at all.  I only use it for speed work at home.  I am planning to bring it with me to the gym and do 30 before every workout in order to get better at them.

For the kettlebell swings, I used a 35# weight.  I think I could do a shorter rep workout with a 45# weight at this point, but I knew that 90 reps would be tough for me using a 35# kb.
