Well today we had the pleasure of having a WOD Wednesday on a Friday. Great way to ruin Fridays.
WOD:
Linda
Sets of:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of
1.5x Bodyweight Deadlift
Bodyweight Bench Press
0.75x Bodyweight Squat Cleans
Let me just start off by saying that I don't think it's fair for heavy people to do this WOD alongside lighter people. I'm about as strong as the other guys I workout with in the morning but some of them have the luxury of being 40 lbs lighter than me. Damn. To do this workout as prescribed, I would be doing 325# Deadlifts, 215# Bench and 165# Squat Cleans. Good news, I Rx'd the Squat Cleans. The rest didn't go so well. Bench is a notorious weakness of mine but luckily I had a partner in Baechler to go for 135# Bench Press. Deadlifts were at 245#, same as Mitch.
Bench was pretty good all the way through. Could have maybe gone a little heavier but I knew that there was potential to really hit a wall so I was cautious with it. Deadlifts were just heavy enough to push hard but manageable mostly in sets of 4-5. Squat Cleans went really well and it is by far my most confident movement of the 3. They were more taxing on cardio.
Final score was 32:17. No fun at all but really good representation of what I need to work on.
