Lesson learned, when updating your blog on your phone, save before you put it down. Let see if I can remember what I wrote.
So it's a good thing I started my policy of doing Open WODs at Rx. Today we revisited 13.4, a 7 minute AMRAP of increasing triples of clean and jerk @ 135# and toes to bar. (which is almost the same as 12.5 which we did in January 22nd, except it's a 9 minute AMRAP)
The last two times I did it (January and May 2014) I scaled the weight to 115# and regretted it both time because I haven't retested my original score from the 2013 Open of 31 reps. For 12.5 I scaled even further to women's Rx with the extra 2 minutes I made 74 reps, so 4 full rounds plus 14.
I made 42 and 38 reps respectively at 115#, so today I got to see what I could muster at Rx.
7 minute AMRAP of:
3 - 6 - 9 - 12 - 15....
- clean and jerk 135#/95#
- toes to bar.
As I did for 12.5 I broke up the t2b in sets of 3 from the get go. The c&j I did singles starting round 2, because 135# is heavy and t2b are tiring.
Made it through 3 full rounds and 5 clean and jerks for 41, beat my performance from 2013 by 10 reps. Not too shabby. 1 rep shy of my best at 115# from last January 2014 too! I'll take it.
Then we did a three position snatch for max weight: high hang, hang and ground. I maxed out at 115#, pretty much as expected.
And finally we did 3 sets of 5 front squats with no pause at the top. I meant to do 80% (or 225#) but go the math wrong and did 185#. Meh. It'll do.
