Two things I don't have a lot of experience with today. It showed.
A. Sandbag Loading
Max reps in 2 minutes x 3, rest as needed between sets
Men use 3/4 body weight
Set racks at 6 holes for men, 4 holes for women
CrossFit Regina site warned: "This will be tougher than it looks."
Yeah. I've never done sandbag loading.
First set: 3
Second set: 4 and that included me wasting about 20 seconds on a blown attempt.
Third set: 2. Fuuuuuuck. Basically, on the third attempt in the set, I couldn't get it high enough to get it over the bar and blew a bunch of energy trying rather than re-setting. Curse my slightly-below-average height and short arms that made it hard to bearhug the bag.
B. TGU + 2 Snatch + 3 Overhead Squat
Alternate sides, max reps in 7 minutes
Select KB, not too heavy. Snatches do not need to touch floor between each rep.
I used 35lbs and got through this sequence 9 times. It's good to have a bit more experience doing TGUs and it was really great to get in for a 6am WOD.
My issue with this one was that I had issues with a lumpy bag. Hah! It wasn't compact to my chest so as I went up part of the bag would slide down. My best effort was three and the rest was 1's and 2's. Kind of pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI managed 11 rounds with the second part and that's with leya instructing me on my crap TGU form.
