Crossfit Games – Event 6b

Warm-up: Burgener Clean Warm-up & Burgener Snatch Warm-up

Skill: Clean & Jerk, Snatch

WOD: Crossfit Games – Event 6b. 3 rounds for time (10min cutoff in class)
30 Toes to Bar
21 Ground to OH (95/65#)

1min max rep Toes to bar

1min max rep Ground to OH (95/65#)

The toes to bar were the hardest part of this workout. I only completed 1 round and 25 TTB's within the 10 mins. The TTB's were the hardest because my forearms need to be a lot stronger to hold up my current body weight while I'm swinging like that. Also, in order to get my toes up to the bar, I had to swing forward and jump a little. I could only do about 10 TTB's before just raising my legs as high and as quickly as I could before touching the ground again. On the other side, I felt really good about putting 95# above my head from the ground. I have enough strength to just lift it straight up and over. I didn't need to clean it and then push press it.

Bit of a break, but I'm back!

I've been injured for a little while and taking it easy, but I just can't sit still anymore. F it, my body will eventually get back to normal.

WOD

Unfortunately, the A/C was out in the gym tonight and it greatly affected me. I heat up very easily and after the warm-up, found it hard to cool down. I didn't want to risk having a seizure or getting heat stroke, so I took the actual WOD a little easy, although I'm pretty sure I can't do the toes 2 bar right now.
