Crossfit log for Monday, September 8th

Well that's one way to start the week. 

Another EMOM start to the day.

17 minutes this time:  8 rounds of power snatch, 1 round rest, 8 rounds power clean.  First to rounds 5 reps, then 3 rounds of 3 and 3 rounds of 2.  Adding weight along the way.  All touch and go.

Started the snatches at 75#, the upped to 85# for the triples and 95# for the doubles and did the last round at 105#

Started the power cleans at 135#, then 145#, and finally 155#.

Warmed up and sweaty already.

WOD was a thankfully short 10 minute AMRAP of:
- 30 double unders
- 10 dead lifts at 185#
- 8 toes to bar
- 6 chest to bar pull ups (scaled to regular pull ups)

I nicknamed this workout "The Grip" because grip strength was going to be the limiter.

Coach was impressed at how I "manhandled" the dead lifts at 185#.  Good for the ego.

Managed 2 rounds + 45 reps (up to 5 T2B).

Double unders sucked.  Dead lifts were good.  T2B were strange. first round I did 5, then 3 singles, couldn't get a good kip going.  Second round I did 8 unbroken, it was beautiful.  Third round made it to 5 again with 5 seconds to go, dropped off the bar and that was it.  Wish I'd have gotten through the the last 3 before the buzzer.  Oh well.

Really need to work on C2B pull ups, could've done this Rx if not for that.
