REST!
JL DL’ing 100 lbs
CS Press…note the hand spacing
After today’s workout, my neighbor stopped in to tell me his forearm hurt from using the pull start on his mower. He said he had to pull it nearly 10 times to get the darn thing started. I feel his pain.
I wanted to say yeah, I understand as I did 75-95 # Snatches yesterday interspersed with 5-400M runs. So I get the forearm grip, puling issue. Of course I did not. Maybe that’s a new way to market CrossFit. Find those that are struggling with everyday life chores and show them how CrossFit has real life applications. Wait, I tried that. Let’s hope his swiss ball, lifecycle workouts get more intense so he’s ready to mow in a week or so.
Snatch Bal – 145 X 1, Failed 155 (mental block again).
Let’s see… I can pull weight off the floor and lift it once overhead. Maybe I should work on that second pull, eh?
“Sumo Helen”
Run (approx) 600 m
21 SDHP 75 lb
12 PU
15:08 – My best Helen as Rx was about 15 min, so with a longer run and 75 lb pulls, not too bad.
man you are reading my mind (easy read) at this point. i’m trying to find our weaknesses in the Oly lifts so we can all get better. I anticipate today will be my undoing, so we’ll see.
SNBal – 45 x5, 65 x5, 95 x3, 115 x1, 135 x1 155 x1 (f), 155, 185 (f)..too big of a jump, 185, 205 (f). all in all not too bad as this was my 1st attempt. still caught the weight much too high, but i will do the same workout w/ fewer reps going forward.
REST 5 minutes then:
Minin met con…4:30 slow ut windy!
Snatch Balance – worked up to 155lbs. x1
