Thursday, November 12

I am crossfit, Coconut Grove

Warmed up then did

Front SQ, 4x4: 155,165,175,185. No belt,
Good Mornings 3x8: 75,85,95
Hollow holds: 3x45 secs
Push press 4x8: 75, 85, 95, 105 only got 6 last set

12 min AMRAP

8 thruster 75#
8 burpees
8 20" box jumps

4 rounds and 17 reps

I did all the above in about an hour and half.  The box had no a/c, it was hard to push through.  On the AMRAP both my sides started cramping and about 3 mins left I felt like I was going to puke.
I would like to think I could do a lot better on that AMRAP in different conditions.

Also, I remember previously a lot of my sets, I would jump 20+ pounds b/w sets.  In the class over the weekend they mentioned you shouldnt jump that much b/w sets and if you are you didn't start were you should have. So I'm going to start a little heavier but my increases will be smaller.  Let me know if you agree or disagree.
