Post Loads and Number of Burpees Completed to Comments
The purpose of today’s strength workout is to determine a new 1RM for this movement. All %’s should be based on your current 1RM for the lift. You should generally not be failing on any set except maybe your last one of the day. If you’re unsure about your technique or ability to perform a given set safely at the posted %, then use common sense and good judgement. When in doubt, live to lift again another day. New 1RM’s may only be recorded if the lift is done with full ROM, ie full squat receiving position.
For the Metcon, use a load equal to 85% 1RM to ensure proper movement execution.
OPEN GYM today from 11-12pm! PR’s, Benchmarks, and Goats!

Great work to everyone this morning! Snatches are not easy especially if you haven’t been practicing!

The WOD had the 10 AM class cursing Dave up and down. Started at 45# (bar) and progressed to 75# then 95#. My form felt much better towards the end.
I had planned on skipping the Wod, but Dave talked me into it, thanks Dave! I then did what I WANTED to do afterwords: 5 rounds for effort, 5 x Dead Hang pull up and 5 x Ring Dips with 2 of the 20# weight vests. I’m hoping to be worthless tomorrow.

I usually do pilates on Sat. But Sat crossfit is fun. Different vibe on Saturday. I might have to come on Sun too to see what I’ve been missing.
I did manage one handstand – although many attempts. Thanks dude doing the wod right behind me. Sorry I didn’t catch your name – but thanks for encouragement. Also thanks to Stu for helping with tumbling!
I think I snatched 63 or so and worked my way there again during the WOD. For some reason snatches are easier for me when done for time. Weird.
