Wasn’t able to see the eclipse OR got to the gym 🙂
I went for a run instead because was feeling the need for a grind. I am so much slower then I used to be it’s kind of discouraging, though it can’t really be, because I am running once a week maybe and I used to do 5 or 6 days. But I don’t like losing ground anywhere…. (I don’t have time to do both. Some days I have exactly 45 min and that squeaks me through a Performance WO and that’s it.)

This is my first invictus and actually my first crossfit workout ever!! – I’m a day behind but it seemEd like a good workout to start with.

A. Worked my way up to a benchmark PR of 160lbs.

B. Scaled down to 135lbs and switched Pullups with toes to bar due to fatigue.

– 5 rounds complete.

A. Up to 220 – current PR. Failed the jerk on 225. Cleans were smooth but my jerk started falling apart around 85%. I’ll be doing some extra work there.

B. Scaled to 165lbs. 4+2. Fast singles on G2OH & 4/4 on C2B.

What do you think the problem with the jerk was?

Today – footwork. It seemed like I had trouble getting my front foot far enough in landing. Like I was rushing to catch the bar. That resulted in not dropping low enough and not being able to lock out.

Any thoughts/drills?

SLOWLY getting better. It has only been 4 weeks since I was told 6-8. I realized during the workout that this was the first time I have been able to row in a while so there is progress! Thanks for asking!

Good deal, I know it’s no fun laying off. It takes a lot of willpower for people like us to wait out the recovery! Hope the progress continues.

A:
Clean&SplitJerk up to 55kg, so there is no change (no progress, but no regress too). I feel, that I have strengh for more weight, but in heavy weight (heavy to do Split Jerk for me) I don’t throw my one leg back enough. So my problem is the same as in Snatch – I still must more work on getting myself under the barbell.

B:
Barbell: 40kg
I did 4 full rounds
I did C2B first time, so it was very hard to me, but I did it 🙂 On GTO I did Clean&PushPress
