Crossfit Games WOD 3, bring it on! Okay so my prediction on Tuesday on of death by pull ups was wrong, but it is all about the palms though. I just home mine stay intact after hanging off the bar then bringing my toes up to touch it. Also check back to my week 1 prediction... so close I'll recap it at the end of this blog post.
Here's my strategy, goals, current results and the breakdown.
The WOD if you didn't watch the video:
18 minutes AMRAP (as many rounds/reps as possible)
15 boxjumps (M: 24inch W:20inch)
12 push press (M: 115lbs/52.5kg W: 75lbs/35kg)
9 toes to bar
Current top results in Australia
Men 470reps or 13 rounds
Women 402reps or 11 rounds
Listening to what the other people at Crossfit Northside reached I believe I'm going to aim for five rounds. Whistles! tough! If I got six I'd be over the moon though!
The box jumps are the way I like them, as I'm not overly quick at them, having to stand up fully on top of the box will at least slow other people down.
35kg on the push press - which is essentially just get it up from your chest to overhead by pressing, push pressing or push jerk. It's heavy but achievable.
Toes to bar, I had a crack at them today and watched the video. While hanging from a bar swing your feet up to touch the bar. Good times *rolls eyes. Okay best way to do this rather than using your whole body through it is do a knees to elbow, or as close as you can, then kick your feet out to touch the bar. That's my plan anyway.
Usually I'd say I'm going to take my time breath through it but stuff it, this time I'm going all out. If I fail I'll shake it off and try again. Only 12 hours to go until I give it a crack.
Tune in soon to see how I did and find out my prediction for next week.
P.S. My week one prediction was a 10 minute AMRAP 10 chest to overheads and 10 burpee boxjumps. Close hey!
