Pretending to be a Weightlifter

Walked 18 holes of golf yesterday for the first time this year. Legs needed a rest. Lifted with Alex at CrossFit Intuition today.

Did Crossover Symmetry Activation and some basic stretching to get loose.

Clean & Jerk

• 3×75#
• 3×95#
• 2×135#
• 2×155#
• 2×185#
• 1×205#
• 1×215#
• 1×225#
• 3x1x235#
• 1×245# Clean only

The 245# clean was easy, but when I dipped to go for the jerk nothing felt right and I didn’t even try to get under it; popped it off my shoulders and let it drop. Jerks were feeling pretty solid and Alex mentioned that my timing was a lot better than in the past.

Snatches

• 3×75# Muscle Snatch
• 3×95# Muscle Snatch
• 2×95# Power Snatch
• 2×115# Power Snatch

• F+1×145#
• 1×145#

Was not feeling the snatches today, so didn’t go far with them.

Back Squats

• 5×45#
• 5×155#
• 3×205#
• 3×245#
