Strength

1a) 7X2 Hang Power Cleans – heaviest possible, rest 15 sec.
225# - No Misses, worked on fast Elbows and footwork

1b) 7X2 Hang Squat Snatches – heaviest possible, rest 15 sec.
155# Missed 3 out of the first 4, then hit all of them out, felt really good once I got warm.
 
1c) 7X2 Jerks (Split)– heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.
185# -- Had to drop to singles in the later sets, some mad shoulder pain.

Overall this was very tough, mainly just fatiguing on the shoulders and mind.  Felt pretty technically proficient except on the Jerk.

Conditioning
100 Pullups
Row 1k
100 Burpees
 Time: 20.22


It is incredible how much this sport can still humble you after a few years of doing it.  No matter how high your deadlift, or how low your mile time, the simplest chipper can come along and just wreck shop.  I was totally blown out in the upper body from this WoD -- this is the reason I do CrossFit.  She never fails to cock-slap you in the face, and she is such a temptress, luring you to stop, to not finish the 100 burpees.  And you never feel a better sense of accomplishment than when you clap at 100, regardless of your time, because you beat that bitch away like she was Jennifer Aniston.
