Getting this out of the way now because I won't have time later on in the evening to post. Also I hate posting a day after I've done the workout because I'm not in the same mindset as I was after I worked out.
Anyway, it's day 3 at CrossFit 515 and it was a heavy workout today:
For Time:
30 Squat Clean & Jerk @ 105lbs
Time - 6:40
The original prescribed weight for men was 155lbs, but my max clean and/or press is 135lbs so I decided to do what I knew I could. My strategy was just to go for as long as my body would let me before I had to take a break and then slowly start chipping away at it. I got 11 reps in and then started going about 2-3 reps at a time. When I got to about 18 reps I was going one rep at a time because that was all I could handle. Finally I completed it at 6:40 and that was the end.
These workouts have been great, but I've been saving my energy for the workouts themselves so I haven't been working out necessarily 2-3 times a day this week. But I figured I'll take whatever the workout of the day was and focus on an element that wasn't in the workout. So since today was primarily a weightlifting exercise, I'm going to row a nice easy 5k to get some light cardio in and stretch. We'll see how I feel tomorrow and I can't wait to get back to it.
Until tomorrow,
-Pat
