The Best Tuesdays

Are those that are really Fridays. This might be the best week of the year with two days of work and Thanksgiving all at once.

If you're having trouble motivating yourself to get in the gym...she has a sub 4 min Fran

I know what youre thinking: how does she do thrusters with those huge bangs. Just kidding. She probably doesn't have a f ing clue what crossfit is. Point is, get off your mfing ass, someone once told me anything easy isn't worth doing. That includes getting enough sleep so you can wake up for your workout in the morning or whatever else you need to do to get your ass in the gym. Also you should google Rosie Jones. At home.

Walked into the crossfit gym today and realized I forgot my shoes (chuck taylors). I was wearing heavy leather boots cause it was raining. Proceeded to workout barefoot (with socks). I would have definitely gotten kicked out of any other non cf gym if I tried to do this.

Did some warmup I'm too lazy to type out. Then some lax ball rolling under the feet, calves, and ass. (didn't even have to take my shoes off for the lax ball under the foot. Cause I didn't have any)

Then 12x2 deadlift on the minute at 80% 1RM. I scaled down to 275, apparently my deadlift starting position is great for the Oly lifts but sucks for doing deadlifts. I never really saw the difference between the Oly lift deadlift and the deadlift deadlift. Still not sure I have it 100% right but I need to work on keeping my hips higher during the deadlift and using my hamstrings almost exclusively rather than my quads. Apparently you can pull a shitload more this way.

WOD:

6-5-4-3-2-1

Wall climb

185# squat clean (scaled to 155#)

Time: 7:48

Notes: Squat cleans barefoot weren't nearly as awkward as I thought they would be. They were actually pretty sweet. Wall climbs were fine too, just couldn't crash down quite as hard on the way down. No one finished the wod Rx all day, one guy tried in an AM class but g'd up his wrist on a clean (probably tried to catch the weight too far forward) and DNF'd. I'm hoping I can finish this wod in under 10 mins within 6 months. 155# squat cleans weren't bad, I would do 170# if I could do it over.
