Manly Jump Ropes?

Warm Up
Jumping Rope
I got 50x two-footed then couldn’t get more than a couple one-footed jumps in a row. Little girls can do it all day long and I’m a bumbling fool.
In response to Doc’s comment the other day, I’m considering a big manly length of 5/8″ steel chain to use as my jump rope.
Let’s see the little girls do that! =)
More Warm Up
5x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 85#
10x Chin Ups @ BW
5x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 100#
8x Chin Ups @ BW
3x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 115#
6x Chin Ups @ BW
Work Sets
3x Bench Press @ 165#
3x Bench Press @ 185#
9x Bench Press @ 210#
3x Squat @ 225#
3x Squat @ 260#
9x Squat @ 290#
3x Assistance Circuit
10x Bench Press @ 165#
10x Squat @ 225#
10x (ea. arm) 3-Point Row @ 65# DB

That’s a Theoretical 1RM of 273# for the Bench Press and a 377# Squat.

    Chris, I noticed a similar WTF when I incorporated wheelbarrow “races” into our workout a couple of weeks ago.

    That stuff used to be easy. But thrown into the middle of a circuit, it got pretty tough!

    The art of jumping rope has always eluded me.

    Ha! Man, I wish I could still do all the “easy” stuff from when I was a kid. I can’t hardly manage a decent cartwheel anymore.

    But I’d bet that the jump roping will improve if you keep at it.
