High Rep
On the them of “taking a break from Nick’s rants”, I’m deferring once again to another fitness professional for their thoughts on a sometimes controversial part of CrossFit – hi rep olympic weightlifting.
See the article here.
Jason speaks to many things we talk about here on a regular basis: making sure the movements are safe first, building good habits through movement and being goal oriented in your choices. Even if you’ve bought into the idea that using a barbell for “cardio” can be a great idea, the article is a great read to further understand why we do it and how we can maximize lifting-as-conditioning’s positive impact on our fitness.
Now go lift some heavy shit.
Fast.
STR:
Low Bar Back Squat
5-5-5-5-5
WOD:
10-8-6-4-2
hang power clean (115/75)
front squat
shoulder to overhead
LBBS: 155#
Wod: 3:31rx. This was one compact wod! It can be done in like a 5×2 ft square – just keep moving that barbell up and down and up and down (and up and down again).
LBBS: 165# PR
WOD: 5:11 (60#)
I need to remember I like using 45# bar for L/HBBS. 20# PR makes up for last week. I really like this WOD, but STO at 10 and 8 was rough. Wanted 65# but glad went down to focus doing STO unbroken (or try to).
Nice fight 630!
LBBS: 255# Felt I Had more in the tank next time!
WOD: 4:23RX unbroken was rough that only lasted until set 6. “Lift Heavy Shit” my Fav!
LBBS: 255#
Tweaked my right wrist. So not a fan of these squats.
Mod WOD: left-arm KB hang power cleans, squats, and S2O @ 1.5pd = 3:49
LBBS 145#
not a PR – I moved this at 155# for 5 in early August. Yesterday moved 155# for 3
WOD 5:59 @ 65#
Still sore from Monday.
