Grace is one of my favorite CrossFit girls.  There’s really not much to it.  Sure, the clean and jerk can get complicated, and plenty of people spend a lifetime perfecting these movements.  And sure, we want to be safe and efficient as we move our weight today.  But it’s just 30 reps.  Get the bar to you shoulders.  Then get it over your head.

The first 10 reps might feel easy.  That’s great!  The next 10 will feel a bit different.  And those last 10 will probably feel like some completely different movement all together with an additional 200# on the bar.  Know that, as always, this too will end.  But it’s up to you.  It’s just 30 reps of one movement.  One at a time.

    Don’t tell KP but glad didn’t go higher on weight since wrists were getting weak last 10 reps. I think I have fallen for Grace, liked this WOD.

    630 you earned your wkend, nice fight!

    1/24/13 – 4:06 RX
    10/18/13 – 2:30 RX

    All singles but fast and consistent. Also, it was key to link the clean directly into the jerk. No resetting.

    FS: 165# A PR by virtue of the fact that I somehow have managed to avoid FS 3 rep maxes for the entire 9 months I’ve been crossfitting…

    Grace: 2:57rx. Two sets of five, and then singles after that. Those last five certainly brought me to that ‘special place’, but I really liked this wod! Fun times!

    heavy grace (155#): 7:56. holy hell did that get heavy.
    also, I can’t help but feel this may have gone better if I was in shape.
