CrossFit Day 29

Today’s workout was relatively simple—ten one-rep for max sets of cleans. Unfortunately, I still don’t have an Olympic weight set. So, I decided to do a tapered round of ten sets of dumbbell cleans with the 30 pound dumbbells (so, 55 cleans — 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 rep sets).

My form was pretty bad (I could see my reflection in the sliding glass door) but better than I expected. I really tried to focus on doing each exercise completely. I may start shopping around for weights and a bar (I found Olympic bars at a nearby store for $59.99). Earlier today, I noticed that a new CrossFit gym has opened in Sunnyvale. Perhaps I should go down there and get some instruction on how to do the exercises properly.

My results: 15:06, 8:08 zone (hard); HR: 154 avg, 180 max; 195 cal
