04102018 – CrossFit

After this workout it took hours for me to be able to lift my arms to my head! Seriously though… hard to wash my hair, hard to eat my oatmeal. This was no joke for the shoulders!

We did a long shoulder warmup before a 7 minute Snatch EMOM at 80%. We did 2 snatches per minute. I need to work on catching it lower still but I did 85# for the 14 reps. I only dropped it once mid rep and then the next attempt almost threw the whole thing behind me! 

After that we did 3 rounds for time of:

10 Overhead Squats

15 Pullups

35 Situps

I did the Scaled weight of 75 for the overhead squats. I struggled with consistently getting down to parallel and only broke up the reps on the last set. I did the pullups! I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get all 45 reps or not. By breaking it up into mostly sets of 3 I was able to bang through them. I had an occasional set of 2, but tried to get at least 3. On the first set of each round my kipping wasn’t too bad! The situps were just there. I broke the first round up into 3 sets of 10 with a set of 5 and the last 2 rounds were sets of 7. I was able to keep pushing and was by far the last person done in our group. I was proud though that I managed to get the Pullups done! My total time was 12:21. 

Hopefully my arms work better tomorrow!
