CrossFit Day 112

Today’s workout was seven rounds of the clean & jerk for a one-rep max. I’m swapping that out for seven rounds for time of 10 dumbbell clean & jerks at 70 pounds (a pair of 35-pounders). I really need to do more upper body work anyway and practicing the dumbbell clean & jerks will work my core, hip extensors, and shoulders.

I started out really fast, but it only took a couple of rounds before I was subdividing the rounds into fives or threes. As I got more and more tired, I started to slow way down. But, I determined to stick out the whole workout, especially since I’m going on vacation next week to visit my family in Idaho. I doubt I’ll get much of a chance to work out while I’m up in the Gem State.

Rounds:

  1. 01:07.87 (01:07.87)
  2. 02:14.70 (03:22.57)
  3. 03:09.13 (06:31.70)
  4. 03:52.75 (10:24.45)
  5. 02:46.78 (13:11.23)
  6. 04:13.00 (17:24.23)
  7. 03:37.95 (21:02.18)

That was a little bit harder than I thought it would be. I spent a bunch of that time starting at the dumbbells and breathing hard. Next time, I hope to knock half that time off.

My HRM: 21:04, 3:38 zone (hard); HR: 172 avg, 189 max; 319 cal
