EMOM 20 min:
Odd- 20 double unders
Even- 4-8 burpees (pick relative to how well your lungs feel, less if
it's taxing, more if you feel good)

all double unders unbroken and 8 for all burpees (about 13 seconds for the du's and 35 for the burpees)

I was having a pretty bad mental day and this workout really helped me gain some confidence and turn my attitude around.  I had to do the split jerks without the blocks this week but they just felt more crisp and I didn't come close to failing any.  It was a good way to get out some aggression.  Push press was a challenge after the jerks.  I enjoyed the FLR's, feeling stronger with this stuff.  Mostly the wod was an encouragement.  It's really the first test of my lungs in awhile and I had zero trouble, I cannot tell you how good that feels.  Also, I haven't done du's in awhile and they are so improved!  I know it was only sets of 20 but it was big to me to do them all unbroken and with ease.  Also, I was happy I achieved on the high end of the scale you gave me with the burpees.  It's like I'm all excited like I got an A instead of a C.  Lol.  It's the little things.  And it's funny how it all effects my psyche sometimes.   Writing this the day after and my traps and shoulers are sore.  Thank you!
