Thursday June 16 (2)

So. My arm felt better as today went along and I got some actual bloodflow going.. Sitting at my desk made me bored as well and I wanted to just throw some shit around before getting on a plane tonight for the dirty south. Ryan let me know he was going to be able to hit the posted WOD around 2 so I gladly obliged and bailed on work early to move some weights.

I was sort of time crunched so I went through the motions on some overhead squats.. Didn't hit any really good or heavy sets, didn't have good focus for it today.

WOD: 

21 Deadlift @ 225#

30 air squats

21 Push Jerk @135#

15 DL

30 Squats

15 PJ

9 DL

30 Squats

9 PJ

Time: 8:39

I actually felt a lot better on this than I thought I was going to.. it looked really daunting on the whiteboard. I tried to do the Jerks in sets of about 5 or 6 the whole way through which went pretty well.. A couple of the reps were questionable (didn't quite stand up tall at the top) but I was trying to get a clean rhythm going through each small subset so I won't lose sleep over a couple reps that were not competition standard. 

I need to improve my wrist flexibility for long WODs with sets of jerks and cleans.. At the rack position my wrists get crampy (made that word up) after a bunch of reps in a row.. Need to work out the kinks there so that is not a limiting thing for me.

Side note: I wish I could watch the regionals this weekend at Reebok Crossfit ONE, but I am headed to Charlotte, NC for the first time.. Should be great. Southern BBQ is one of my favorite so I plan on consuming many many dead animals slathered in various sauces.. YUM..
