I opted for deadlifts instead of pistols today because I need to get back to them more, raw strength has been down as of recent.
I warmed up pretty well and got loose then did 135x10, 225x8.. I counted the next few as my working sets and did 275x5 (easy), 295x5 (little tough), 315x5 (gassed me).. then I was going to attempt 325x5 but I picked it up once and was just like "annnnnnnnnd that is a day".. so 325x1 to finish was good enough for me.
WOD - "Anarchy"
5 RFT
10 Kb Snatch 1.5 RH
20 yd OH Walking Lunge (RH)
10 KB Snatch LH
20 yd OH Walking Lunge (LH)
Time - 19:00 Rx'd
This was one of the strangest WODs I have done in so long. First off, I should not have done it alone, I was taking like full 45 second pity breaks for myself in the midst of it because it was so daunting to pick up the KB for the next lunges. Having people around would have helped a lot.
This was so weird because none of it was particularly fast and intense like normal CrossFit, it was just very heavy and very slow, stability ridden movements.
I struggle with left shoulder stability a bit so the LH snatches were a pain in the butt, the RH was mostly fine.
The OH Lunges I was able to do without any breaks in the middle, but I definitely rested a lot more than I should have needed to. It feels like you should be able to scoot 20 yards really fast but then you start lunging and your life "OM effing G, this is going to take forever and I have this 53 lb kettlebell right above my noggin"..
Grueling WOD, worse than anything that I did all weekend at the Garage Games.. Yikes..
