Tuesday 6/10 WOD

[rord]

Post your comments, questions, and max loads.

Hoo-Yah!!

Should we do the push jerk or the jerk where you go into a semi-lunge? I would assume the latter, but there is a video of someone doing a very similar workout on Crossfit but they do the push jerk instead...

[jakryabre]

Press = 155
Push Press = 205
Jerk = 225

[rstorck27]

This is one of those times I wish I had access to bumper weights...

P: 155
PP: 185
J: 185

Did some trail running after: 3 miles in 23:17

[deck_]

First time doing jerks, so I didn't max out. Since I couldn't do very high weights, I just did a pyramid where I worked down from my max weights at the end.

Press: 65
Push Press: 115
Jerk:115

I couldn't get past 155, because my wrists started hurting. What can I do to strengthen my wrists?

Howdy all,

Sheese you guys are animals. :D My young and strong partner had quite the day lecturing me on form.

I'd quote him but that would take 1/2 the fun away from posting.
Suffice it to say, a press means ya stand still and lift he says.

So that means I stopped at 95 ( this is me hanging my head) :(

The push press stopped at 135

and the jerk was the same. Talk about humiliating. Young and strong there went to 185 like a champ.

Way to go Joe.

Now since I am a runner, I've never in my life done this type of weight lifting, so it is all new to me.

The one thing I learned, is put your body into a good forward squat and when done properly everything snaps together.

Form is critical.

MY form sucks of course.

I ran short of time so I ran at 6:55 pace for 4 minutes then did 10 200's at 1:05 so that meant I ran at 11.2 on the treadmill then jogged for 20 secs and did it again. Hoo wee almost as fun rememembering as doing......not:D

:)

[scskowron]

Press: 111#
Push Press: 133#
Jerk: 133#

Felt like crap today. I should have taken a rest day today because the workday was brutal...moving heavy furniture in the 95 degree weather leaves no energy left for the WOD or running.

[ripmattaxelson5]

whats press? jerk? push press? and WOD?

[pipelinesurfer]

had pizza for dinner. NOT a good pre workout meal! lol

added 400m sprints in between each set
ohp- 115
pp- 155
pj- 155

legs got kinda weak from the runs.
i can now do 5 double-unders consecutively! yes! lmao

ripmatt- search crossfit.com for video demos of each workout. WOD= workout of the day

[jdoleac]

Morning: 2 mile timed: 15:03, not good I know.

Evening: WOD, all lifts at 135 lbs. 155 lbs. was a wall where my shoulders shut down. But two of these lifts are new to me, so I'm not that upset. And I'm really not accustomed to giving my shoulders this much work, both today and overall, so all-in-all I'll consider the workout a success. I did get 1 push-press at 155.

Did some more practice on form at 95lbs.

Did some weighted pull-ups, some kips to finish up. 200 sit-ups as well.

Ran 8x 400m. 1:15 to 1:33 on the intervals, max 2 min. rest. The 1:15 was the last interval... Lightning is a great motivator! Day off tomorrow.

[jimmyseven]

SP 95lbs
PP 115lbs
J 135lbs

Got 2 reps twice at 155lbs on the jerk just couldn't get the third

[bch0021]

24m/6'1/174

Love a good strength workout.

Press: 115x5 (Couldnt do 135. Either started too soon or 20# is too big a jump)
Push Press: 155x3
Push Jerk: 155x3

Didn't attempt 185 because I almost killed myself at 155. Good numbers guys. Real strong. keep it up!

[rkryan2002]

Completed morning exercises. Max load was 125. Afternoon off as it was my birthday and wife had plans.

[gmt-nyc]

So much for a rest day. I just was told that I need to fly to Geneva tonight for work, so I hit the gym this morning...

SP: 185#, tried 205# (no chance after all those reps)
PP: 225#, got 2 reps
PJ: 225#
Wow, my strength training has really paid off!

Then did a random mini-kinda "300"-esque workout...
5 rounds:
10 DB Thrusters (35# each arm)
10 Pull-ups
10 Box Jumps (24")
10 Knee-to-Elbows
Didn't have a stopwatch, but was a puddle by the end. Forgot to mention the PUs and KtEs were on a 2" thick bar that killed my forearms.

Now to catch my flight...

[cbrittendahl]

Began with ~ 1 mile swim (felt good to get in the water after a hot day)

Then I proceeded with the WOD. All sets were unbroken until I hit 135#. After that, my shoulders needed a little rest between the different exercieses.

Max loads:
SP: 135x5 (155x1)
PP: 155x4 (185X1)
PJ: 185x3 (I still felt decent here, but since I didn't have weights that I could drop, I didn't feel it was safe to continue).

[parishke]

WOD as Rx'd

Press: 155 lbs
Push Press: 185 lbs
Jerk: 185 lbs

Also did 10 x 200m runs

[danodec]

Did this one yesterday. Shoulders = strength weakness of mine. I try to focus on it doing 5x5 OHP every 2-3 days. Ideally would like to be able to OHP my body weight.

SP: 115
PP: 135
PJ: 135

Then I got frustrated and walked out. Did some assisted HSPU work at home.
