Wonderful Wednesday WOD
19 Feb
Today was one of the more brutal Crossfit workouts I have had. I know, I say that every week. I think it’s because every week, I gain a little more capacity to be a little more brutal. And that’s a good thing.
For Time (limit: 25:00):
- Three Rounds:
- 21 Dumbbell Snatch (RX 45lb)
- 15 Burpees
- 300m Row
- 200m Run
My time: 22:54, using 35lb dumbbells. I thought this workout was going to be MUCH harder, and apparently they scaled it down somewhat from its original iteration in the morning class. the 21 dumbbell snatches were divided between the two arms. As my left arm is weaker, I did 11 on it and 10 on my right 
. I’m still having quite a bit of form trouble with the snatch. Apparently I do not open up my hips enough before the shrug and high-elbow. I’ll work on it this week at Kung-Fu!
Burpees are a fantastic exercise and I love them. The rower, as usual sucks the marrow from your bones and leaves you a lifeless husk. Running is running. I don’t have to like it but I do have to get good at it
After the workout, my coach, John, his girlfriend Cassie and I decided to do the Crossfit “dot com” WOD:
With a continuously running clock:
- Do one pull-up the first minute.
- Two pull-ups the second minute
- And so on and so forth.
I actually got to round 8, and felt pretty damn good! The wrench in the gears were my about-to-rip callouses. Personally I feel that I could have gotten at least to round ten if not a few more. I want to try that workout again, with solid hands
