Following the example of Regionals

Everyone is watching the highlights from the Regionals which are happening right now.  One of the surprising events for the athletes was dumbbell snatches: 100# for men, 70# for women.  One arm at a time, going from the ground to overhead in a smooth motion. Pretty friggin' beastly.

So we got to do it too!  Of course, the heaviest dumb bell we have is 55# so rumor has it we will be getting some new weights soon.  Prescribed weight for women was 35# and 55# for men during our workout.  I did it lighter, but I still felt like a bad ass while I was hauling that weight up in the air!

5/3/12 WOD #45

• Warm up: 500 m row
                  3 min jump rope work
                  2x: 10 OHS
                        10 Push ups
                        10 Back extension
                        10 second HS hold
• WOD: 4 minute row for distance: 768
             4 minute AMRAP 5 HSPU, 5 strict pull ups (green band): 3 rds + 6 reps

For some reason, the snatches made my feet cramp up.  Ah well.
