Mondays are rough getting out of bed, but I have never regretting going to the gym before the sun is up.
Today we started with snatch work. 4 heavy singles @ 90% of 1 rep max.
90% of 130# is 117#, so I rounded down to 115# and it was a good call.
Attempts 1 and 3 were wobbly, but 2 and 4 were rock solid. It's really starting to come back. I should be able to test my 1 rep max soon.
After that we did more back pause squats. 5 sets of 4, pausing 3 seconds at the bottom, no bounce coming up. Settled on 185#. First two reps were easy, last two were rough. So I guess it was a good weight.
The WOD was a killer. A relentless but thankfully short killer.
21-15-9 10 minute cap (called a mercy cap!)
- dead lifts 185#
- wall balls 20#
EMOM 6 burpees.
Workout starts with burpees.
First round was awesome, 6 burpees in 17 seconds, 14 of 21 dead lifts.
Second round was ok, 19 seconds for the burpees, finished off the dead lifts and got 1 whole wall ball.
From this point on is sucked. Burpees and wall balls don't mix. I was reduced to 5 wall balls per round, and 3 or 4 dead lifts.
Made it to 11 dead lifts of the 15, so 53 total reps. I was gassed. There was nowhere to catch your breath. Glad that's over.
