WOD Wrapup for 1.28/1.29

I was able to get a ride in over at Ray's on Wednesday, so I took that as my WOD and stayed out of the gym.

Coming back into the gym on Thursday (1.28), I wasn't keen on back squat 1-1-1-1-1 that was listed on the mainsite as I typically do not squat heavy due to some low back issues. I typically keep squats pretty light and will deadlift heavy. For whatever reason, that is OK with my back.

After tapping the WOD archive, I found this and decided to do it (keeping with the squat theme), I am pretty sure this is off the CrossFit Football site.

"The Mooch"

AMRAP in 15 minutes:

3 reps back squat, 225lbs
6 pullups
9 pushups

On workouts like this, pullups (even though it's only 6 reps) will slow me down. I had the stopwatch on, but was going at a moderate pace and got though 7 rounds with some clapping pushups on the last 2 rounds.

1.29

I'd been itching to try this WOD that was on one of the Cleveland affiliate sites a few weeks back, so my man Brad and I lined up for this as Rich was "working from home."

For time:
10 power cleans
20 pushups
9 power cleans
19 pushups
8 power cleans
18 pushups
7 power cleans
17 pushups
6 power cleans
16 pushups
5 power cleans
15 pushups
4 power cleans
14 pushups
3 power cleans
13 pushups
2 power cleans
12 pushups
1 power clean
11 pushups

Yeah, I know, more pushups. I stayed on a pretty good pace for this one and rocked out a 11:44 using 155lbs on the cleans. I didn't copy down what the weight was, but 155lbs is a commonly used poundage for the CF stuff, so rolled with that. I made it to the 9th rep on the last round of pushups before I broke...TWO STINKING LOUSY MORE PUSHUPS ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I dropped for a second and did the other two. I should have knuckled up and did the last two, but I just lost focus and my chest blew out....next time!!

I good wrap to the week.

Peace out.
