CrossFit Day 61
Today’s workout was a little tough, but went fairly quickly. While the original workout called for a barbell workout for weight maxes, I’m working with a pair of 30 pound dumbbells today. So, I’ll just do ten rounds of ten (100 reps) for time. The assigned exercise: the push jerk.
Now, I’m not very good at any of these Olympic lifts, having never been instructed in how to do them right. I’m not concerned, at this point, about injury, because the weight I’m using is fairly low. So, some of these push jerks probably turned into push presses, but work is work. My main injury concern is getting the elbows locked out at the top of the push, so I don’t drop a dumbbell that weighs as much as my touring bike onto my forehead. Still, after lots of heavy breathing, I managed to polish off all 100 reps.
Tomorrow? Yeah, baby, bring it on.
My results: 17:48, 5:54 zone (basic); HR: 160 avg, 179 max; 235 cal
