Jumping Cindy

Today was another of the benchmark girls...only our coach decided that the normal work out wasn't challenging enough, so instead of "normal" Cindy, we did "Jumping Cindy."  Cindy is AMRAP in 20 minutes of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 15 squats.  (Side note: had a total epiphany this morning about what the hell AMRAP stood for.  I knew what it meant conceptually for the work out, but I only just realized that it actually stands for As Many Reps As Possible.  I'm a doctor, y'all!).  Jumping Cindy turns those into jumping pull ups (dropping to the ground and jumping back onto the bar for each rep), clapping push ups, and jumping squats.  Oy.

2/1/12 WOD #12:

• Warm up: 10 stairs
                  25 burpees
                  2x: 10 pass throughs
                        10 overhead squats (OHS)
                        10 pistols (each leg- these are one legged squats)
                        10 push ups
                  50 hollow rocks (only did 25)
• WOD #12 Jumping Cindy: AMRAP in 20 minutes
                                           5 jumping pull ups (from a box)
                                          10 clapping push ups
                                          15 jumping squats
                                          7 rounds completed + 19 reps into round 8

Funny story about the pull ups.  Lori had gone through the standards for the WOD and we were all set up for starting the jumping pull ups.  No problem.  Ready to go.  3-2-1...I jump up, grab the bar, start to pull myself up...and the coach and I realize at the exact same moment that holy crap Andrea has not done a real pull up yet and is clearly still not capable of doing more than a slight bend of the elbows without some manner of assistance.  So I dropped to the ground and Lori grabbed me a box to jump from instead.
