Friday CrossFit Meetup.

Pat and I went to CrossFit Will county and joined them for a WOD. We started with a warmup of tabata push ups. Pat looked at me and asked if I had a target number in my head, I have known of others targeting a certain number for tabata, but I have always gone all out. I decided to try it this time. I did not pick an overall number I just wanted to get 15reps for each interval. We only did 6 intervals total. I do not remember what number I hit exactly but I believe it was close to 100, I think possibly 80-90. Not sure but overall i was satisfied with performance. Pat of course did over 100-115?

We then did the following WOD

200 single jump rope skips,
50 squats
20 knees to elbows.

I opted to do 50 double unders instead of the skips. Thinking this would give more time to do the rest of the WOD. I was shooting for under 10 minutes. All in all it took me 12:59 and the squats were by far the worst part.

Pat and I then worked on power snatches and he introduced me to something new the split snatch. The concept is actually really simple and I like it a lot. I will be trying more of these this week. I maxed out at 135 and there was a slight press out with it.

Good times yesterday. In hindsight, I think playing on the rigns was my favorite thing.

Looking forward to the next meet up.
