Day: September 20, 2016

Three Plus

I did get in the 20 minute ROMWOD pretty late last night and did a 19 minute one this morning. Went to the 5:30 CrossFit Intuition class.

Warm-up

2 Sets

  • PVC Good Mornings
  • 20 Mountain Climbers
  • 5 Push-ups
  • 10 Air Squats
  • 5/5 Monster walks (small red band around ankles)

Strength

Back Squat

  • 6×45#
  • 3×135
  • 3×205
  • 3×240
  • 3×275
  • 8×305

The gym is using 5/3/1, so the last of the 3 working sets was for 3+ reps. 8 reps was good enough for me with all of the squatting I get in the Catalyst program.

Conditioning

  • 3:00 AMRAP
    • 3 Power Snatches (135#)
    • 7 Burpees
  • 2:00 Rest
  • 4:00 AMRAP
    • 5 Back Squats (135#)
    • 8 Burpees

I did all touch-n-go snatches and got through 4 rounds plus 2 more snatches. I was slow on my squat reps so only got through 4+4 in the second part. Would have liked to push harder on the burpees.

Midline

Class was doing sit-ups and Russian twists, but I did plenty of those last night, so substituted with…

  • 10-20-30-20-10 Side Bends (44#)
  • 10-15-20-15-10 Lying Leg Lifts

The side bends were split between left and right, so 5 per side on the first set, etc. In the middle of the second set of leg lifts I decided to scale back the rep counts on them since I’ll be doing ab work tomorrow again with a lifting day.
