I really wanted to stay in bed this morning, but I knew it would throw my whole morning off if I didn't.
So I rolled out of bed 15 minutes after my alarm and still managed to get to the gym with 3 minutes to spare.
We started with some light back squats 5 sets of 6 @ 50% of max, so I did 155#.
I couple of the other guys put the same weight, but I'm fairly sure their max squat isn't over 300#. This workout could've been done easily at more than 50%, and if I hadn't gone heavy yesterday at lunch I might well have done so myself.
I felt very legit at 155#. Good for the ego.
Then we did dumbbell overhead press. Can't remember the last time I did this, definitely not since starting Crossfit.
We did 5 triples at heaviest weight possible. I figured I could do 115# with a barbell, so divide by 2 for dumbbells, 57.5#. But dumbbells will be harder so maybe take 10% off? I was just guessing here. Warmed up a bit with 20# and 35# dumbbell.
35# was way too light, but the next dumbbells we have are 50#, which falls into my estimate above, so I did that. Very difficult to stabilize overhead, but I manged.
The WOD was not fun.
2 rounds for time:
- 10 snatches 155#/105# (did women's weight)
- 20 toes to bar (did 15)
- 80 double unders.
The biggest issue with this workout was shoes. I don't like to snatch in my Nanos, but I don't like to do double unders in my lifters.
So I chose the Nanos. I almost went with my lift trainers, and I should have, but que sera, sera.
My back foot lost lateral stability a couple of time so the last 5 snatches I dropped to 95#.
Toes to bar were a struggle after the initial 10 reps (done in 2 sets of 5)
Double unders were random again, first round was like 8, 2, 0, 0, 4, 12, 20, 16, 18. Then second round was a bit better, 13, 13, 15, 10, 11, 18.
15:07 total time. Not my best workout, but it's done.
