“Grace after the holidays”
30 Clean and Jerks for Time

The clean can be any type of clean that gets the weight from the ground to the shoulders.
The standard weight for this is 135/95 lbs, but with all the holiday festivities, it appears that she gained some weight. So I would like many of you to go heavier than usual. If you scale up, pick a weight that you think will take you about 8 minutes. Post your weight and your time. Mine was 6:29 at a weight of 165.
Good luck!

Powerlifter Total
Back Squat, 1 rep
Bench Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

Same scheme as the CrossFit Total. Do as many warmup lifts as you need. Then take 3 attempts at as heavy a squat as you can. Note your heaviest successful lifts. Then move on to the bench press. Warm up, go heavy, and move on to the deadlift. Again, once you have done your warmup lifts, YOU ONLY GET 3 ATTEMPTS!

SAFETY
Here are some basic precautions that need to be followed for safety. I can’t take credit for writing these, so I can’t take credit for them, but I do endorse them:
1) Don’t be stupid.
Don’t total if you’re injured to the extent that a total will aggravate the
problem. This will cost you in at least training time, and possibly time
off of work if you’re ultra-stupid.
2) Don’t be greedy.
Learn to recognize the difference between greed and ambition, and be
merely ambitious.
3) Don’t be pig-headed.
If your first attempt tells you that you need to lower your second, do
so, without a misplaced sense of diminished self-worth. It’s a test, and
it’s designed to measure what’s there, not create something that’s not.
That’s what training is for.

Now go set some PRs!!!

General warmup, then jog a minute. Do running drills and 5 sprints (no longer than 100m). The first sprint should be at 70% speed, getting progressively faster, with the last sprint at 100%. Recover, then…
WOD
5X800m, with 90 sec rest intervals
800m is approximately 2 1/3 laps at the LRMC track.

Learn about the pose method of running. It decreases injury rates–better for your knees, hips, back, etc. More info is at posetech.com and at crossfitendurance.com.
