Muscle fatigue!

I had to be smart about working out this week. Really glad that I skipped Monday's brutal 400m/50 squats WOD because that would have taken me out for a week. I'll probably have to face that sometime to get those quads back in shape.

Thursday's WOD:
MU practice. Happy to report shoulder stability but didn't spend too much time here so I can save some strength for the WOD.

Round	Knee pushups	Lunges	DUs	Total
1	26	40	70	136
2	20	40	58	118
3	16	39	40	95
4	16	40	43	99
5	17	37	47	101
Total	95	196	258	549

Going into this, I knew I'd get the most reps on DUs so I tried to transition to them quickly after the lunges. I knew I'd be useless at the push ups come the later rounds but actually was kind of glad to see them level out in the last 3 rounds as opposed to dropping to 10 or less. Happy to see a steady pace at the lunges throughout but I did NOT expect that massive drop off in DUs. That is definitely a gas tank (and possibly shoulder fatigue) issue. Because I am a nerd, I calculated the percentage drop off between rounds...

Round	Knee pushups	Lunges	DUs	Total
1 to 2	-23%	0%	-17%	-13%
2 to 3	-20%	-3%	-31%	-19%
3 to 4	0%	3%	8%	4%
4 to 5	6%	-8%	9%	2%

Yikes.

Today, my shoulders are pretty fatigued from the push ups so right now, I'm thinking I am staying away from today's WOD.
