The personal site for ME!
1. Conditioning / Warm Up
1 mile run
2. CrossFit Games 17.3
Result:
Felt good about this. CTB felt better than expected. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done either of these movements, so completion is a win!
1.) CrossFit Games 16.2
Time limit: 4 min (if you complete that it goes on. I did not.)
Result: 8 reps squat clean.
This was pretty brutal. I never do TTB so that was pretty slow. I had 2 min left to finish 15 squat cleans, and that’s a pretty tough movement for me barbell conditioning wise. It felt heavy from rep 1. Glad to be done!
2.) Strength
Deadlift: 5-5-5
275, 275, 275
Since my WOD was only 4 min I did a strength set after. I haven’t done deadlifts in a while so I was please just to get this under my belt. I need to beef up my deadlift if I want to keep going up in cleans and snatches.
I’m starting this Open season weighing it at 196, which is about 8 pounds over where I’d like to be. It’s been a rough winter! The open is a good time to buckle down and get after it for 5 weeks, even if this will mostly be a train wreck.
16.1: 20 min AMRAP
Result: 4 rounds + 25 feet lunges.
That was brutal. Midline stability, shoulders, and cardio were toast. I’m pleased with my pacing, and pleased to have finished. That was a heavy weight for my conditioning, and I’m overweight to do chest to bar pullups right now.
Check. Done. On to the next one.
