Cleans & Rope Climbs - Day 52

Today's WOD is hang squat cleans and rope climbs. Since I do not have access to a rope (really wish I did, though!), I'll be subbing towel pull-ups (more like towel hangs with a jerky movement to switch the height of my arms).

Warm-Up:
5 min. jog
5 min. jump rope
10 push-ups
20 ball sit-ups
10 KTE's
10 burpees


WOD (scaled to Puppies):
Four rounds for time of:
55# Hang Squat Cleans, 5 reps
3 rope climbs (sub towel switches)

Time: 6:22
--Round 1: 1:40
--Round 2: 1:22
--Round 3: 1:38
--Round 4: 1:42

Notes: Felt SERIOUSLY gassed after this workout, but in a really good way. After I cooled down, I felt a little nauseated, but that could have been from working out on an empty stomach. I felt really strong through the cleans. The towel switches were pretty awkward, didn't feel confident with this at all and probably should have done 6 per round or more. I would really like to get a rope hung somewhere... maybe at our next house or outside somewhere. I watched the video of Dave Castro doing this WOD before attempting it and was very inspired.
