Grace 2012-04-02

Not sure how I don't have any recorded times for this one - I'm sure I've done it at least once.

today was 4:56 @ 40#

Grace (scaled)

A: Work up to a 1RM in the Snatch

B: "Grace"
30 reps for time G2O/H - 135/95
6 minute time limit

1RM full snatch: 95 (been stuck here a while)
Grace: 5:55, scaled to 115#

The weight felt way heavier than expected, and the first few reps were full of "are you SURE those bumpers say 35?" Once I knuckled down and kept knocking them out, though, it got...well, tolerable I guess, if not easy.

In celebration of Gita's birthday, he came up with a cockamamie WOD that involved bodyweight clean & jerks in some formula of your age, which would have had me performing 34 reps of 180-pound clean and jerks. Which is 40 pounds over my 1RM, so...that wasn't going to happen. Since it was fairly close to Grace, and I'd never done that workout before, I elected to do that instead.

For time: 30 135# Squat Clean & Jerks

50:06 RX

A horrifically embarrassing time, until you take into account that my 1RM is 140 - only five pounds heavier than this. It took forever and chewed up my hands something awful, but I felt pleased at the end just to have completed it.
