Clean and Jerk

Training today my legs were really tight from yesterday.

Weights: Max clean Jerk

I did 155 easily but couldn't catch 160. I'm not sure if weak bc of yesterday's snatch but I feel like I should be able to land 165 if fresh.

WOD 21-15-9
Box Jump 24in
65lb SDHP w penalty if drop bar
Burpees

no idea time but feel pretty decent about it. Cardio sucked but I got through it.

After 3-5 min rest I did DU's first few sets I really struggled. I think I was thinking too much about my hands and jumping rhythms.

Ended up getting 2-3 sets of 10-15 in a row- felt really good

Decided to do a few Kips to see if yesterday's revelation would be there again. It was. I busted out 15 kips without much effort. It felt amazing to finally get them.

Focus:
Kips- push more with legs to keep momentum- Get chest over the bar
DU's- high reps sooner than later in sets
DIPS


Feeling good decided Monday will be last WOD before sectionals. Gotta get respiratory system under control- veronica comments she could hear it again.

I will not feel like I did in this picture at sectionals..

3..2..1 go

10 minutes from touching a bar to establish my 1 rep max

I've only done on real WOD with snatch at 65 and practiced at 95 multiple times.
My previous max attempt has been 105 which I struggled at due to sloppy technique.

technique proved to be my nemesis today.. I hit 115 fairly easily but failed to hit 120.

I think I made a little progress with pullups today. I realized I suck at kips bc I hold my feet back rather than lower with them straight down and then kick back once I'm down. I think this will help. I have this week to perfect them.

WOD today proved cardio will be an issue

10 wall ball 14lb 10ft line
20 DU
10 KB swings with 55

time sucked not sure what it was- DU's killed my time AGAIN

Skills to focus for next ten days DU's, dips, chest to bar pullups/kip leg work

DU's will be at sectionals- they announced athletes need to have their own ropes. so I will practice every day.

3/1/2010 Its Alive!

First entry of my blog. I'm two weeks away from my first crossfit sectional competition. I'm not sure how ready I feel. I'm strong enough but I still have two achilles heels- double unders and pullups. I have to focus on those for the next two weeks.

todays WOD 3 rounds

10 Deadlift 185

10 lateral burpees (over the bar)

50 double unders

I'll repost with time but it was around 15 minutes.. sadly I think 10 minutes were double unders.

I followed the wod with du work, 15 burpees, 10 t2b

TIME: 14:48 Goal- Sub 10:00
