2/13 WOD

A. Deadlift, 15:00 to find 1RM
305.
Second time I have hit 305# this month. Fail at 315#. Props to Z for 405# and Mike Mac for 335#

B. 3rds F.T.
20 Wall Balls (20#/14#)
20 KBS Overhead (1.5pd/1pd)
6:26.

First set of wall balls all good and straight through, later sets started becoming ALJ (“a little janky”). KBS all good, first set straight through, then broken 11-9, 12-8 or something like that. This one looked tough and it was.

rest 3:00
Nailed it.

C. 3rds F.T.
20 Toes-to-Bar
20 Box Jumps (24"/20").
8:06.
Total (with rest): 17:42.

First set of T2B all good form, sets of 10-10, later sets started missing bar with toes, even pretty badly. Took 3 or 4 sets to get through 20. Box jumps basically slow and steady; jump up, step down.

Nice big class again this morning, including visitors from Montana. (I made sure to shut up about how cold it was when I was around them.)

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Congratulations Bill!

2/14 WOD

A1. Overhead Squat, 21X1, 3-5 reps, 4 sets, 1:30 rest
A2. Ring Dips, 2122, AMRAP, 4 sets, 1:30 rest
95/11, 115/8, 115/7, 115/5.

It was interesting journey through sets of five OHS at 115#. I first set up with my feet too wide and my right knee drifted inward even though I completed all reps. Both Christina and Zach pointed out the wide stance. I set my feet much closer for the next set with my toes pointed more straight ahead and immediately dumped the bar. After a reset, I kept my feet slightly wider than shoulder width with my toes pointed more or less straight forward, which really bound my hips. As I worked my way through the five reps I wiggled my toes in and out. I accomplished all five reps but they were not particularly smooth. For the last set I set up with my feet slightly wider than my shoulders and my toes somewhat pointed out, and a couple of those reps were are my most solid reps. Unfortunately, I dumped the bar on the fifth rep. I kept at 115 pounds instead of moving up because it seemed to be a very revealing experience. Good ROM on all reps.

Ring dips went well. The pacing requirement, including a short hold at the bottom and top, helped me reach full ROM. Very pleased.

B. AMRAP 10:00
10 Push Press (75/55)
10 PVC Situps
10 rounds.

The AMRAP was a good one. My sit up mat was about five paces from where I did my push presses, which might have cost me some reps but also built in a short rest interval. All push presses and all sit ups done unbroken. (Seeing 75 pound push presses, combined with the recent frequency of wall balls and box jumps, leads me to believe Fight Gone Bad is in our future.)

[I]2 min of HELL with 6 min of getting ready for the next AMRAP! Thrusters went well, focused on squat clean & doing them straight through. he 2nd AMRAP was the toughest. Almost didn't get all the pull ups during that one. Hang squats were tough, need to work on those![/I]
