So, here I am Friday morning excited about the WOD
"Elizabeth"
21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips
I needed to substitue 115# for the 135# (again, still working on strength) I made it thru the first two rounds. (Time not important, keep reading) On the third I was unable to deadlift the weight off of the floor let alone clean it. Now a clean is an olympic move where you deadlift the weight off of the floor and rack it on you shoulders in a front squat position and then squat the weight back up. I was awesome at the rack, fast, quick could not of done better. The front squat was a different story. The first few were good as I was fresh, however, the more I did the sloppier I became to the point were I was rocking forward on my toes which is not good. This puts undue pressure on your low back. Well needless to say that is what happened and I spent the weekend unable to bend forward. I was walking around like a robot fixed at the waist. I knew olympic lifts were a specialty but I now have a new take on them and will very careful the next time they come around.
