I thought my workout went well this morning… until I looked at my time the last time I did the WOD.

At least I didn’t use less weight.

“DT”
5 rounds
12 Deadlift (M 155# / W 105#)
9 Hang power cleans
6 Push jerk

Time: 14:34 @ 65#

This is more than 4 minutes slower than when I did the same WOD at home in March with the same amount of weight.  In March, I was fresh off the I AM Challenge and I had been able to increase the weight on this WOD AND cut my time from December.

Sigh.

I have to admit. I felt fatigued this morning.  Andy and I did straight strength Monday night, plus I’ve had three days in a row of less than 6 hours sleep.  So I’m not freaking out about my time or anything.

It was an off day. Also, I’ve noticed I’m a lot stronger in the afternoon and evening than I am in the morning.  It’s not really fair to compare a morning workout versus an evening one. The evening one is almost always better.

This morning, I really focused on form.  Zach pointed out how I was leaning forward with the bar, particularly while moving the bar overhead, so I made an effort to stay in my heels during the dip-drive.

I focused on form Monday night, too.  Here’s what we did:

Overhead squat
3-3-3-3-3

Results: 45-55-65-65-65

Shoulder Press / Ring Rows
4×8

Results: 45-50-50-50

Both Andy and Luke start Crossfit this week!  I’m planning to take pictures at Luke’s next class.  He loves it!
