Snuck down at lunch today for what was meant to be a quick WOD. Min and Shauny were doing the deadlift/squat/pushpress one I did Sunday, so JT and I decided to do the Crossfit Games Regional Workout 4. The workout is, for time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Kettlebell swings, 24kg (we used 25kg dumbell)
100 Double-unders (we did 300 jumprope skips)
95 pound Overhead squat, 100 reps (we did ezy bar + 10kg = 27kg)
Min informed us that in the actual Crossfit games, they cut you off for not finishing the WOD after 20 minutes. It took us 31:38!!! Mind you, we waited for 2mins for the bar to get free, but still - that's a big time difference! Clearly I'm not as quick at pullups as I'd thought. I got 28 reps out on the first set, but it went downhill from there. The KB swings were tough but fair, the skipping hurt my calves like crazy but was OK. It was the OH squatting that killed. Firstly, I know my technique still isn't 100% and I'm not getting deep enough. Second, my shoulder flexibility has a LONG way to go. Still, I was hurting at the end and am glad I did it. Got to hand it to Crossfit - quick, tough workouts that smash you yet keep you coming back for more.
