Shiny cufflinks to enhance..

"The Lion"
20min/AMRAP
1 bar: 75/55lbs

1 Power Clean
2 Front Squats
3 Push Jerks
4 Back Squats

The bar shouldn't touch the ground throughout the round. Be extra careful bringing the weight down from the last jerk to the back squat (controlling it to your back makes it a little dicey).

What does AMRAP mean? Is that a 20 min round for as many times as you can?

A 20 min WOD.
AMRAP - As Many Rounds As Possible

Jim Longo said...

Thanks, I'll be doing that one today. I'll post tonight so you can see how I do. Still working on coming in for Saturday.

Great advice, even though it was given AFTER the workout:" you guys should tape up your wrists".

30 rounds and change, my wrists, legs and the bottom of my feet area sore. Well my next workout will be rum and cokes, AMRAP over 5days of camping.

Good luck to Mark & Nick, you will be missed.

Higher Order Living said...

Advice is extra..lol

E, we'll miss you just as much, if not more.
We'll miss all of you, you're all family to us.

Dom - a line from yoda, that is?

GET SOMETHING GOOD FOR FRIDAY!!!!!

Jim Longo said...

Well I did this one today and I thought I did kind of OK. I managed 13+1+1. Not too bad for the first shot at it.

I have to say my wrists were killing me when I was finished though. Probably because my form is a little whacked. Then again I didn't have anyone giving me direction while I ran thru it. One of the draw backs from training in the basement.

The front squat killed me too, I have to work on them. Still working on the intensity and flow with the movements. I'm not totally sure I did them all correctly but I'll find out next time I make it to class.

One thing for sure I trained before work and that was bad, just a bit sore.

Peace out,
Jim

Great job to all you "lioners" yesterday, that workout looked killer. Great job Jim, a 20min AMRAP is tough, and that particular one gave no breaks.

I did the Uppers, I got pushed hard by Joe, that was fun, thanks dood. I started to finally feel the flow on my kip, it was probably pretty ugly, but a TON better than in my crappy gym. PR'd the first round of pullups, did 21 straight, probably could have gotten more too.

GOOD LUCK MARK AND NICK! I wish I could be up there, but that is next to impossible with communions / baseball these days. Where the heck are we going to find our WODs!?

17 rds, was a mistake to perform this outside, soles of me feet were screamin!!! And Nick - yes, that was a touch of the Master Jedi in me, I was feeling extra geek-ish.
Good luck Nick and Marky Mark, have fun with your Funky Bunch ;-) This week off from OTG, plus my Crossfit Sponsor being away on vacation will be especially rough for me, temptations will be many, tested my discipline will be.

Everyone is welcome to follow the main site WOD's at CrossFit.com or OPT's to the right of the blog. They're both equally challenging and you can compare time/rounds to everyone in the world participating in them.
Thank you for the well wishes. It's only a business seminar guys, not the qualifiers.
The Qual's are on May 23rd,24th - btw, we'll be closed on the 22nd and 23rd due to the Qual's.
