Smolov SQUATZ
1x3 60% = 130 lbs
1x3 70% = 150 lbs
1x3 80% = 170 lbs
5x5 90% = 190 lbs
Metcon WOD
12 min AMRAP of:
200m run
7 hang clean & jerks (135 / 95)
15 burpees
30 double unders
There's
this one [young] dude that has been going to my box for a long time,
but he's kinda quiet (maybe standoffish?), or not so interested in
crossfit? His squats were ridiculously light!!! Also, his form during
the clean and jerks almost gave me several heart attacks worrying over
the box getting sued when this fool breaks his back.
I feel that Psoas totally acting up on the 90% squats... yarrrgh.
I
did the wod at 85 lbs, which in the night class board, said was the RX
for women, my happiness kinda wore off when I checked the WOD again to
write this post :(
I thought I was leveling up. Although, only finished 2 rounds cuz yea, 85 lbs is a lot to hang clean and jerk.
I hit my boobs while cleaning the bar, several times. Not gonna be surprised if I end up with bruised nipples tomorrow. So hardcore, bruh.

Get a Grip
WOD
5 min AMRAP:
200m farmer's walk
10 power snatches (115 / 75lb)
max burpees
4 min rest
Complete 4 rounds
I tried a couple snatches at 75 lbs and it felt ok, so I decided to go with that for the wod. Unfortunately, there's only one pair of 35 lb kettle bells in the box, which shoulda been the weight for me to do, but then I decided to man it up two notches and did the first walk with 44 lbs.
Crazy mistake.
By the time I was done (dead last of the whole group) my grip was GONE. My forearms were super sore my, calluses were tearing a bit, and my fingers were cramped. I tried snatching the barbell and it was a huge NOPE. In the first round I only managed 4 snatches and failed about 4 attempts.
So then, I downsized to 25 lb PLATES (cuz there were no more kettle bells at this weight either) and while slightly more manageable, it turned out to be another ordeal in terms of grip. I also put the snatch down to 65 lb and to be able to pump out all 10 plus about 6 burpees in every round.
I also gloriously dropped the plate by my shin, so I gained some attractive bruises.
