Reza is a sick sick man. He made us run 400m in the warm up holding 2 25lbs dumbbells. It was not fun.
Skills
work was Press, Push Press and Thrusters. I have a hard time doing the
drills with a broomstick and no weight to counterbalance your moves. It
feels very lame, but I guess it's important.
Today's WOD:
run 500m
30 Thrusters (95/65)
run 500m
We
practiced our thrusters with gradually increasing weight as part of the
warm up and I knew (even before we started) that 30 Thrusters @ 95#
wasn't happening.
I tried with 65#, and it felt pretty easy.
And I done 65# Thrusters as part of a recent WOD so I knew I could do
that, but I wanted to do more, so I tried with 85# and it was tough. I
might have been able to pull it off, but decided to hedge my bets and go
with 75#. It was a good call. I did Thruster in just over 5 min,
doing sets of 5 before dropping the bar. Which means I had to do 4
cleans to get the bar in position, so more work, but it worked out well,
the last Thruster almost didn't make it. It wasn't pretty, but I did
it.
Not a long or brutal workout (like Monday) but challenging and fun.
Finished in 10:38
