Frog working on cleans

Workout of the Day

Benchmark 2/5

“Grace”

30 Clean & Jerks for time

Advanced load is 135lbs for men, 95lbs for the ladies

This test has a lot to it… are you powerful enough to handle the rx’d (which are relatively light) weights? How does your coordination hold together by the 20th rep? Do you experience any stamina (muscle fatigue) issues? Breathing issues anyone?

This workout is a walk in the park if the weight is not adequate (coaches will try to limit access to the park). On the other hand it will crush you if you get too ambitious (coaches will try to prevent any one from being crushed). Try several different options in your warm-up.

  • looking good mom.. you look less like 57 and more like 27 in your pic! nice legs!

  • no kidding Miche !!!
    …if I look even half as good as Madhouse at 57…not to mention OLY lifting….I will be laughing !

  • @Tapout
    I think we all feel that way!

  • First WOD back CFW since October, and it wooped me! 4:23 RX’D and a coughing fit on the drive home. Looking forward to doing WODS again :)

  • Welcome back CKP!

    Rx’d 3.31, was gunning for 3.30. Next time. This is my all time fav WOD.

  • 3:20 @ 55#

    Not sure why but I felt like doing light weight and quick today…55# was about 7/10 rpe.

  • Went really light on the weight as I wasn’t sure how much my shoulder can handle – especially after yesterday’s wod. Used 35# and to prevent that walk in the park, coach B had me do squat clean and jerks. Finished in 3:49. Whatever that wod didn’t take out of me in the arms/shoulders, my physiotherapy session did!

    Nice picture Madeline! I hope to look like you soon!

  • 9:54 Rx’d !!!

    And thanks so much to my cheering squad, sub 10 would not have been possible without Brad and the rest of the awesome CF crew :)

  • @Kimberly
    Nice work!
    It was a very rewarding day combined with my Karen and watching you do Grace like that!
    Way to go – nice RX!

  • @Kimberly

  • HOLY CRAP KIMBERLY !!! @Kimberly
