12 Days of Christmas – Invictus Style

1 Lap (300 Meters)
2 Snatches (155/105 lbs)
3 Thrusters (155/105 lbs)
4 Muscle-Ups
5 Burpees
6 Toes to Bar
7 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
8 Kettlebell Swings (48/32 kg)
9 Box Jumps (30″/24″)
10 Handstand Push-Ups
11 Ground to Overhead (155/105 lbs)
12 Man-Makers (55/35 lb DBs)

Time - 1:45:20!
32 kg KB swings and 45 # DBs for the ma-nmakers. No 48 kg KB or 55 # or 50# DBs available at our gym (I will admit, I was not really disappointed by that).

But all the movements that I could/should have scaled were things that I needed to work on (135#+ snatches, thrusters, GTOs in a WOD or muscle-ups and HSPUs when fatigued) , so I just decided to go for it until I started to feel like my form broke down below 80% to 90% or I felt like I was in danger of tweaking something. Went at a pretty steady pace (not very fast thought) until rounds 11 & 12 and never really felt too bad. Man-makers were horrible at the end though. I did not feel too badly worn out an hour after the WOD, at least no worse than after Murph or Eva. I definitely feel that I have earned some holiday treats!
