My CrossFit Journal (week 21)

______________________________________________

Week 21 Day 1.

Death by snatch (lol) description below.

The warmup wasn’t too bad, but it was a ton of ab work.

Warmup 2 rounds
5 pass thru (pushup on peralits then tricep dips – count as one)
15 sit ups
10 toes to bar
15 v snap

Mind you, I use 40lbs. I decided to post a video for this one because sometimes I’m just too lazy to find the appropriate image and crop, etc. So there we go, press play to see what the snatch is. lol. Funny word.

Death by snatch is you see how many rounds you can do, so in minute 1 you do 1 snatch, in minute 2 you do 2 snatches… and you keep going until failure. I ended up doing 10 full, and  on my 11th minute I only got 6 in. Still pretty crazy. I used 40lbs.

WHOA. When I saw this workout posted on our local CrossFit’s website, I died inside a little. But I was SO excited to start this. I love “for time” wod’s and I love both the handstands and supines. However, I still cannot do handstand pushups… because those are ridiculously difficult. But I flipping did them – I did handstand pushups! Even if it was a few centimeters, I am working my way up to getting stronger and

Warmup wasn’t too bad.

1 lap (200 meter run)
10 leg swings
5 wall squats
10 lunges with rotation

THEN

2 rounds
5 broad jump (basically a long jump)
20 flutters (rest  your lower back on the ground with your shoulders off, and legs off the ground and straight. Flutter your legs like you’re in a pool. Difficult for the abs!)
15 kb swings (I used 12lbs)
10kb thrusters (I used 12lbs)
10 burpees

Ended up finishing 9 rounds…got to 9. The handstand pushups weren’t done to the ground (as in my head touching the ground), I piled up three ab mats, so like 8-10 inches off the ground and did them that way. Yay!
