with their added level of difficulty and scarcity, the squat jump and clapping pushup play an important role in this trifecta, acting as supporting cast to the overall theme; but it's the 135lb sdlhp that stands out as the heavy element in this simple and straightforward test. how often do you see a load that appears "out of place" in the typical programming landscape? almost never. why is that? some would say it's because the scenery is shaped by what works, and that programming in general is a product of form following function. i'll give this theory some respect as surely "all those people" can't be wrong... right? well, i'm not here to say what's right and wrong for others and can only speak for myself. i've decided to mix it up from time to time and see what happens. i believe changing gears and adapting is important. what's "wrong" with mixing 2 parts speed with one part slow? is it a recipe for disaster?... failure?... i hope so. how else are we going to get better if we continuously play it safe. there's one approach in particular that i've found highly effective in order to progress in this journey and that's been to find way's to make scary approachable, heavy doable, and the standard not enough. don't get me wrong, there's more than one way to reach the finish line and a lot of them work, i've just chosen to go with what works for me. what i enjoy. it's what keeps me in the race and if that shakes things up and makes the journey a little more colorful, then so be it, i'm in.
adrian crossfit houston following proudly.. female (rx) 95lb, push ups, jumping squats... 15 rnds flat
another great combination of movements.. the push ups were where i felt a touch of recovery but 6 went by so quickly you were right back to jumping squats which complimented the sdhp for sure!!

10 rounds + 3 sdlhp
two days in a row of something I am weak at, pushups, hopefully this is the path to get stronger.
