Second
Barn Workout
Scoob and Greg
arrive and we quickly get after it by staring with 10x2 Floor Press. We struggled to get a proper set-up things
were a little shaky at the beginning but we stacked the barbell on bumper
plates so it was raised. It began to
smooth out a little and Scoob got to his working sets at 185lbs, I 225lbs and
Greg 240lbs. Greg seemed to be very
strong on this movement. I struggled to
get comfortable with the awkwardness of this movement. Scoob got some pretty tough reps. Then we worked on some Handstands for about
ten minutes.
Now onto the metcon
which was 3 rds for time of 20 shoulder to overhead @95lbs and 10 bar-facing
burpees. Scoob went first and was
fighting for every rep after the first round.
The weight was probably a little heavy for him for this particular
WOD. He finished in 9 mins and some
change. Then Greg went and the weight didn’t seem to be a problem for him going
through the first two rds unbroken. He
broke up the presses the third round and finished with a time of 4:30.
Now I’m up and
wished I had gone first sine I had just watched all the pain and suffering and
knew this workout was going to be a gasser.
I go unbroken on the first set but realize with my knee these aren’t
strong push presses not much drive from the legs, which is the name of the game
in this WOD. Burpees felt fast and on to
the second round I pick the bar up and realize that with no leg drive this is
going to be really tough. Get through it
in two sets sprint through the burpees.
On to the final round and the presses are rough and I get through them
in about 4 or 5 sets. This really ate
the clock up so I knew I had to hurry on the burpees. Scoob and Greg are really cheering me on to
get through this round. I finished and
clocked in at 4:54 not too bad, but not great.
I was hoping for a sub 4 minute time but I guess it wasn’t in the
cards. We were all gassed and glad to be
done with the workout. Heading back to South
Carolina tomorrow, can’t wait to show my face back at Crossfit Grand Strand
since it’s been too long.
