Day: January 4, 2015

Testing 14.1

Was in bed by 10 again and got over 10 hours of sleep.

Gymnastics

4x

  • Max Unbroken C2B Pull-ups
  • Rest 1:00

I did better than I expected, but it gassed me a lot more than I was prepared for. Did 14-12-11-10, when I don’t think I’ve ever done more than 10 in a row.

Strength

5 Sets

  • 5 Pendlay Rows
  • 3 Evil Wheels
  • Rest 2:00

I did a set of rows with 45# and one with 115# before getting into the work sets. Could really feel the fatigue from the pull-ups here. I used 165-175-185-195-195.

Conditioning

CrossFit Games Open 11.1/14.1
10:00 AMRAP

  • 30 Double Unders
  • 15 Power Snatches (75/55)

My goal was simply to beat the score I put up in the Open last year, which was 5+41. I did it without even pushing too hard by getting 5+44, 1 rep shy of 6 full rounds. I only had 2 (maybe 3?) misses on the dubs and did my snatches 6-5-4 every round again. I’ll definitely take that knowing I’ll push a lot harder when it’s game time and won’t be fatigued from other work.

Rested 10 minutes, then…

6 Rounds

  • 10 Burpees AFAP
  • 1:00 Rest

Sucked more than I expected. My rounds were done in 18-18-18-19-19-20 seconds. Happy to be able to keep the times so close. I was having a hard time pushing myself off the ground for the last few reps in the final two rounds.
