MetCon For Time:  9:42
50 Ring Dips
200 Double Unders or 75 Box Jumps (20 inches)

I went with 50 ring dips (2 skinny black bands) and 75 box jumps (4×45# plates).  Pretty happy with the box jumps – absolutely the fastest that I have ever done.

Notes: Surprised to be able to move this weight today, considering multiple variables (i.e., last nights’ cocktails, missing the alarm this morning, last DL’s in January, gaining 6# from work travel, yadda yadda).  Today was the first day I tried the switch grip.  Not sure it helped, but it didn’t feel bad either.  Just starting to get the hang of quick cycle box jumps.  Went from 3×45# plates last week to 4×45# plates today.  I would be completely amazed if I ever got to the point of actually quick cycling on a 20″ box.  Last thought – I got my Buddy Lee jump rope in the mail last night.  TOTALLY EXCITED!  I just pray that this is the magic bean to get me to DU-land.
