26:01 – Last time was 25:14 but it was modified due to being fat and weak.
After Sunday’s Heavy Thruster, I was a bit weak for these Front Squats.
3-3-3
185#-185#-190#
Nothing spectacular, based on the 90% of my 1 rep max (240#), I should have done 215#. It wasn’t going to happen.
With a running clock, on the minute do:
- X KB swings (24kg)
- X Double Unders
- X push-ups
I lost the pace at 12 minutes. Once again, I thought “this looks ok” and had it turn out “I think I’m going to die.”
1-1-1 of heavy Thruster
then 40 thrusters at 45# for time.
I’ve never done heavy thrusters, so I did 155#-175#-195#, I started a bit low.
Then 40 reps of 45# thrusters took 0:54.
3 rounds of:
15 Power Snatch – 95#
20 Overhead Squat – 95#
then 100 Double Unders
14:26

The last Saturday of each month is Level Testing at CFTO.
We weigh-in, hammer out a CrossFit Total and then a short met-con:
Row 500m
40 squats
30 sit-ups
20 push-ups
10 pull-ups
I scored a 745 in the Total, 240# Back Squat, 145# Shoulder Press and a 360# Deadlift.
My increased flexibility has led to uncertainty with my Back Squat weight, I threw 240# without a problem, so that’s a bit of poor planning on my part. Same thing for the Shoulder Press, I jumped from 145# to 155# and failed. I should have done 150#. I did add 5# to my Deadlift PR, so it wasn’t all a wash.
I hit 4:20 on the met-con. The standards are the highest, and I had to do a few push-ups over due to my chin not hitting the deck.
Oh, and I weighed in at 183.4#, which is a bit high I feel, I’d like to be 170-175#, stupid belly chub.
The grinder…
Every Minute, on the Minute, for 15 minutes (originally 20)
- 5 DB Dead Lift
- 5 DB Hang Power Cleans
- 5 DB Thrusters
6 minutes with 40# DBs, and then I had to drop to 30# DBs for the remaining 9 minutes.
5 rounds for time of:
13:03
