The Angry Typist

Last week’s WOD:

Weighlifting:

70-80% of 1 RM

Every 3:00 Minutes x 5 Sets

• Clean and Jerk
• Rest 10-15 seconds
• Clean + Front Squat + Jerk

I used the 15# barbell and initially grabbed 15# plates but the plates felt SO heavy that I opted for 10# plates for the first round then added 2.5# for the rest of the 4 rounds. The old me would have berated myself and put so much pressure on myself that I would have just did the bare minimum of a total of 35#. But I have learned to give myself grace and that it is okay if I wasn’t ‘feeling it.’

I felt so good after the weightlifting portion that I went over the minimum Level 1 weight recommendation at a total of 50# for the MetCon at 108 total reps. The Nutrition program really provided me a lot of strategies and insight to help me be the most successful version of myself. It is my ‘Ah-Ha’ moment.

Level 1 (For Time)

15 – 12 – 9

• Hang Power Clean
• Front Squat
• Push Press

Barbell:65/45#
