I love Saturdays

WOD #1 - 10RFT:

  • 3 Clean & Jerks @ 155lbs
  • 10 Double Unders
  • 10 Box Jumps (24”)

Time was 22 minutes and some change.  Double unders slowed me down but it was cool to actually try them in a WOD.  This was actually programmed by a friend and something I would not have wanted to do.  Which made it great because it worked some weaknesses.  I actually don’t like box jumps and struggle with DU’s.

WOD #2: 3 Rounds (Untimed)

  • 250m row
  • 10 KB Swings (70lbs)

I had really planned on calling it a day and going home until a buddy mentioned he was going to do some heavy deads.  I mean, how can you pass that up right?  We did a deadlift ladder, up and back down the way we started.  That went a little something like this:

  • 8 x 135lbs
  • 8 x 185lbs
  • 6 x 225lbs
  • 5 x 275lbs
  • 3 x 315lbs
  • 2 x 345lbs
  • 1 x 365lbs
  • 1 x 385lbs
  • 1 x 365lbs
  • 2 x 345lbs
  • 3 x 315lbs
  • 5 x 275lbs
  • 6 x 225lbs
  • 8 x 185lbs
  • 8 x 135lbs

Felt pretty good on all of these.  When we got back down to 135lbs I was blowing through them but still tired at the same time.  When my buddy got done with 135 he went right into some snatches.

So…

We snatched. 

I missed the first one, most likely because I was tired.  My 1RM is around 155lbs so working at 135, especially after what I had done already, was a good challenge.  My buddy helped me out and I got better with my form as we went along.  We did about 6 rounds of 3 reps each at 135.

Then…

A member had made the gym one of those cool sleds that you can stack weight on and push, much like the ones at the CrossFit Games last year.  I had a friend stand on it (he weighs about 165lbs) and pushed it to one side of the building and back, my guess is 100 yards.  Talk about winded.  That gassed me!

Then…

I went home.  :-)
