Front Squat 5x3 and CrossFit Football WOD Revisited

CFSB Week 2
Front Squat 5x3


135-185-225-250-275-285(10# increase from last week, still 20# off my recent best)-295(2…didn’t even attempt the 3rd rep…mentally weak moment…)


BS 15-20 reps
275x20 (did 225x20 last week and it was too easy…this one was just right… )


Metcon: 10min or less


7 Rounds For Time of:
3 Handstand Push Ups
5 Power Cleans 185 lbs
7 Pull Ups (Chest To Bar)


 As Rx’d: 9:04 (PR, Previous time on 6/29/09 was 11:26)


Used a different approach this time around on the PCs. I saw a video of Rob Orlando doing cleans in a WOD where he would clean it up and then drop it rather than lowering it to the floor. I gave it a go this time and feel like it saved my grip some. I had to reset after every rep, but I only had to chalk on the last two rounds after the 3rd rep. My hands were getting pretty slimy by then.
 
HSPUs were unbroken and Pull-ups were all unbroken except for the last round. I did 4-3*-1
 
*(I missed the last C2B Pull-up. Got my chin over at 8:56, dropped and then jumped back up for the last C2B at the 9:04 mark..almost stopped...glad I finished)
