Partner with Crystal. Each of us completed:

 300 singles (100 each round) 

60 DB Snatches (15lbs) - 20 each round 

40 T2B (K2E - 10 each round)

20 bar over burpees - 10 each round

We completed the partner WOD @ 13:06 so we had about 9 mins to find our 1 RM squat clean. Crystal got 95# and I got 85# for a total score of 180lbs

Because it was a Saturday and we couldn’t figure out how to get the clock to work, Jen set her watch for 2 mins at a time and we could keep one another accountable through it. Between switching off we would write down how many power cleans we were able to get during our 2 mins and then add it up. As a result, we ended up doing a total of 128 power cleans (supposed to be 120 total) in 12:01.

Partnered with Jennifer & her daughter Jessica. 

Once we completed this we went ahead and did Fran (one of our 4 WOD challenges from the Pursuit of Fitness packet. 

I did Fran in 5:45 using 55# for thrusters and jumping pull ups

Lately when I try snatches, it seems like I pinch a nerve in my neck that shoots pain down my arm. Luckily I didn’t feel the pain in today’s warm up or first EMOM, but I was a little worried. As a result, I scaled back on the weight. I used an empty 35lbs barbell in the first EMOM and then the small (25lbs) bar during the second EMOM. 

Box jump Rx @ 20”

Total jump ropes = 730 singles

After class, I was told that my time was too fast in comparison to the other athletes, which could mean 1 of 2 things...

#1: I need to increase my weight load

#2: my form and technique have improved so my efficiency has also improved. Following that statement, coach Russ told me that my squat cleans had great form...the ultimate compliment! 🙌🏻💪🏼👏🏼🦵
