Yesterday before my shift I decided to attack one of the 'standard' Crossfit WOD : Grace.
After a few warmup reps with the bar, I tried a Clean n Jerk with 135# to feel the weight and could barely jerk it. Soooo I backed off a lil and lowered the prescribed weight to 115# and went at 'er, by myself like a big boy !
TIME : 9'23" A FRIGGIN' SUCKY TIME !
I started pretty good for the first 8-9 reps but for some reason I started to feel a sharp pain in my right elbow and shoulder (I think I 'yanked' 2 reps in a row, instead of 'squeazing them off the floor') then my form, energy and focus went all down the drain.
I think my rest breaks were too long, my form crappy, and the friggin cleaning lady kept opening and bracing the gym door open, so I couldn't grunt as much as I wanted and like Coach Rippetoe stated : " Insufficient yelling causes bad form".
Therefore I think my weight was too heavy for my current technique and fitness level... I can admit that. I will also say that I will own that B**CH some day because I will confront her more and more often now ! (and I meant BEACH...)
We're Saturday now and my arm is not as tender as it was after the WOD : ice is a great thing ! My arm is gonna be ready to attempt the 30 KB snatch each arm standard of LvL 2 at Crossfit Langley.
