CrossFit Day 93
Today’s workout was the second new hero workout in a row. “Randy” is in tribute to Randy Simmons, an LAPD SWAT team member, who died this month in the line of duty. His workout is simple, but pretty tough: 75 reps of power snatches, for time.
After watching the video several times to figure out the movement, I went downstairs to attempt this workout with 50 pounds of weight (a pair of 25 pound dumbbells). Power snatches are highly technical moves and if your form isn’t 100% correct, you fail. The 25 pounders were too heavy for me to pull off this movement consistently. The 20 pounders were still too much. Sadly, I had to scale back to my pair of rubber 15 pound dumbbells. I subdivided this workout into five rounds of 15 power snatches.
Had I known this workout was going to take less than 15 minutes, I’d have opened with a CrossFit warmup. I should get in the habit of doing that every time.
My results (HRM): 12:48, 3:25 zone (hard); HR: 163 avg, 180 max; 174 cal
Stopwatch: 12:43.70
