CrossFit Day 79

Today’s workout was “Elizabeth”, which I’ve done once before. Since I don’t have a barbell (yeah, broken record), I use dumbbells instead. Last time, I did the cleans with 30 pound dumbbells. Today, I did them with 35 pounders. To review:

Three rounds for time (21, 15, and 9 reps) of:

  1. 70 pound dumbbell clean (2×35# dumbbells)
  2. Chair dips

Although this only involves these two relatively easy exercises, the key is to grit your teeth and do the whole thing really fast, at high intensity. I’m not very strong yet, although I am getting stronger with surprising rapidity. I only shaved two seconds off my time last time, but this time I made sure that I touched my butt on the ground with every chair dip.

My results: 8:41, 3:44 zone (hard), HR: 153 avg, 176 max; 104 cal
