Dips 3 sets of 20 unbroken all rounds
200 sec of FLR didn't record total time, but it was probably around 5-6 minutes to complete all 200 min.

Did 3x10 ring dip unbroken, had to start round 2 over when Kyle made me laugh too hard.
Then did the 200sec ring FLR (front-leaning rest) unbroken; that was nice little stunt, never done that particular exercise.

Again great programming on top of the vanilla CrossFit HQ WOD. Keep giving us the extra work for core strength and complementary muscle groups.

Why refer to the mainsite WOD as vanilla? Yes, the coaches at CFHSV have added some things that we think will benefit everyone as athletes, however CF programming is far from vanilla. When an athlete follows mainsite 3 on 1 off programming the WODs will yield results that are unmatched in any other fitness environment. CF is founded in performing functional movements (core to extremity) across broad times and modal domains. We do this to be physically prepared for anything. With that in mind, let's take a look at the next three days of mainsite WODs, including today. Today we have heavy presses. This places a significant demand on the phosphagen pathway, short duration and high power. Next we have a hero WOD. This particular WOD is going to tax the shoulders yet again (amongst other things). We're going to be hitting a completely different pathway here, the oxidative pathway. Finally on day three, we tax the shoulders again and hit a different metabolic pathway. This time we hit the glycolitic pathway. Yes, there are some variables here however this is the meat of it. So, if we look at how things are programmed mainsite has done a great job of hitting various metabolic pathways and stimulating the optimum response for general physical preparedness. We may not press a car or set a 400m world record, but we'll do both very well. That is the beauty of the whole system. Some of us may feel like we didn't do enough on a heavy day like today, but to that I would say go heavier. A really heavy lift should make us feel like we just took a shot from Mike Tyson circa 1986.
