Snatch grip deadlifts are a great reminder to get my butt all the way down and keep my chest up.. if you don't do it properly it feels like you are lifting 500 lbs when you are lifting 200.. gets surprisingly tough.. the grip itself is way more challenging too.. I like these as a drill.. Did the first 2 at 225 then went to 275 for the last 6 rounds.. nothing too crazy..
L-sits are still a pretty good challenge for me.. I just try to tighten everything up as best as I can and hold on as long as I can once I start involuntarily convulsing...
WOD-
"GRACE"
30 C&J @ 135#
Time- 2:51 Rx'd
I am 50/50 on this result as I reflect.. On one side, I am absolutely happy because I knocked 42 seconds off my previous run with ole Gracie.. but on the other I feel like I had a little more in me.. I got through 15 reps in 1:03 and that seemed to be my "wall" because the next 15 reps took me almost twice as long.. Next time I hit this I am going to try to do as many as humanly possible unbroken on the first set and go from there.. I only did like 8 to start, then 4, then 3 (this was around the 1:03 mark).. and I think the rest were almost exclusively singles, which I know I can improve upon..
(For reference, I haven't done this WOD since St. Patrick's Day where I also drank 2 beers during the workout and finished in like 4 minutes, but couldn't keep track of my real time on the lifts..)
Update
Afternoon WOD
SWOD - Front Squat 3x3
Flexibility felt pretty good today after a lengthy warm up, but my strength still is not quite there for front squats after my injury.. starting to ease back into it gradually.. I did some warmup sets then 165,175,185 for 3 reps.. Good depth, pretty solid form... last rep on 185 was a little uggo, but alas, no pain, so I was happy.
Score - 14 burpees, 12 double unders.. (2 double unders short of 14 complete rounds..)
Nice sweaty one.. I just tried to keep the foot on the gas the whole time, no strategy involved at all... First 3 rounds of double unders were comically awful, I was in my own head a little bit and kept giving myself rope stingers on my hand.. But from about round 4 til the end the double unders went pretty fast and the burpees I mostly just tried to keep moving fluidly without stopping to take a breath (I let the 2 seconds when I was setting up the jump rope be my rest each round.)
