Crossfit log for Monday, November 9th

Good to be back at it.

Today we did something called the "Open Test".  We did this a year ago, and apparently my fitness has improved quite a bit in that time.

Warm up was to do 2 rounds of a few reps of all the stuff in the WOD, increase weight on the bar each time


Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 mins of:
- 50 Wall Balls, 20#/14#
- 50 Double Unders
- 40 Box Jumps, 24"/20"
- 40 Toes-to-bars
- 30 Burpees
- 30 Chest-to-bar Pull-ups
- 20 Power Cleans, 145#/100#
- 20 Jerks, 145#/100#
- 10 Snatches, 145#/100#
- 10 Muscle-ups

Wall balls were good, did sets of 10 last time, was set to do 2 sets of 25 this time, but 39 was an air ball.   44 looked like an air ball but hit the target on the way down, but I'd already committed to letting it fall.  I picked it up right away both times though. The pause at 25 was longer.


Double unders went way better than last time which I described as "some sets of 5, some of 10, some of 2. Grrr", this time I wrecked at 5 and at 11 and breezed through the rest.

Box jumps, I did rebounds, unlike the step up, jump down from last year. Caught up to Kamil on these, he took a slight lead on the double unders.

For the T2B, the plan was 6 sets of 5, turned into a hodge-podge.  Much like last year.

Once again, burpees were burpees. Kept a steady pace, up and back down rest a few breaths on the floor, the up and back down.  Wasn't very fast but got'em done.

This time I actually did do 30 regular, last time I did CTB, since Kamil was doing CTB, but I scaled to 15 reps and with less than a minute I squeezed in 3 power cleans at 95#

This time I got through the regular pull ups in 10, 8, 5, 4, 3 and with 115# on the bar do 8 reps, with a 4 touch and go in the middle to try and catch Kamil.

Wasn't enough though, be beat me by 4 reps.

Good workout. I did collapse to the floor at the end, but got up rather quickly. So it wasn't as bad as some recent workouts.

Finished up with 3 sets of 5 back squats.  I did 235#
