Like Snoop said, today was a good day.
First off, I get to the gym and for strength we do this funky workout that involves doing two cleans and one jerk.
Odd. But okay, I threw on 95 pounds because I want to work on technique and after my first clean Kristi goes, "Rod that looks really good. What happened?"
Well, what can I say? Good training. Yesterday we spent a good long time just doing cleans WITHOUT bending at the hips. So it was all just shooting upwards and getting that triple extension.
I guess Kristi was excited because she and Bump figured I was a lost cause. Seriously I wasn't even thinking about it, the triple extension was just happening today. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it might disappear next week, just wanted her to enjoy the moment.
So anyway the strength workout was actually more like a technique workout which was good because I needed that.
Then we had the WOD. Ten push presses, 25 sit-ups and 10 overhead squats.
I won't lie, I was excited. This was my kind of workout. Bwahahahaha.
I stick with the 95 pounds and rip through the workout. I'm strong enough in the shoulders that I didn't have to rest after the OHS and could go right into the next round of push-presses which saved some time. I think I finished a little after 5 minutes.
I wasn't even breathing that hard. So then I got the bright idea that I would do the other WOD too.
Yeah, there was a Crossfit Games WOD today. It was fricking nuts. You start out with 3 thrusters and 3 chest to bar pull-ups, then 6 thrusters and 6 chest to bar pull-ups, then 9 thrusters and 9 chest to bar pull-ups . . .
You get the idea. The reps jump up by three for every set. And you had to keep doing this for seven minutes.
Well, I tried to do this after the first WOD I was feeling so good. Right.
I do the first round of three/three . . . then my legs were shaking and I was like, "What am I doing?"
So I quit. WTH, I did the first WOD right?
Something about those game WOD's though, you feel like you've just got to do them. Argh.
Ah well, I'm happy. Bring on the Warrior Dash!!!!!!!!!!!!
Late,
Rod
