CrossFit Swell in Dorado, Puerto Rico

Had a couple of rest days since I came down to Puerto Rico for a work trip. Hit up CrossFit Swell in Dorado this morning for the 7:30am class. It’s just a place in someone’s back yard that has slowly grown into a cool little box. They started as two guys in this little space.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 Jump Rope (5 burpees each time you miss)
  • 20 PVC Pass-thrus
  • 10/10 PVC Around the Worlds
  • 20 PVC OHS
  • 10 PVC Good Mornings w/ side to side twist

Luckily I’m pretty damn good at jump rope singles when I concentrate. Went the entire 3 minutes without a miss.

Back Squats

  • 5 @ 45#
  • 3 @ 135#
  • 3 @ 205#
  • 3 @ 235#
  • 3 @ 275#
  • 3 @ 305#

We were supposed to go 60%-70%-80%-90% and I came pretty damn close by winging it. Squats felt really good!

WOD

15:00 AMRAP

  • 20 Goblet Squats
  • 15 KBS
  • 10/10 One-arm KB OHS
  • 5/5 Turkish Get-ups

I went with a 53# KB for everything since they didn’t have a ton and didn’t want to hog two of them. The OHS and Turkish Get-ups with 53# were rough! I went 3/3/2 in the second round of Turkish Get-up, so was 2 reps shy of completing a 2nd round. Did the 2 extra after the clock was done to even out the sides. 🙂 The humidity adds another element to the workout. I’m just soaked to the bone with sweat. Very friendly and welcoming community of people.
