CrossFit WOD: Squat clean and jerks! Gross.

When I looked at the website this morning, it said clean and jerks. But when I entered the gym, they changed it to squat cleans and jerks. So nice of them to do this! I love to be in agony anyway so whatever. :-) hehe! It's the good kind though.
Squat Clean and Jerk (95/135)

Kettlebell Swings

Box Jumps (24”)

To be performed in reps of: 21-15-9 for time!

I used 135 lbs for the squat clean and jerks. Pure torture after that many reps. I also stacked two 45 lb plates to make it 26" for the box jumps. I did the standard 1.5 pood KB swing. My time was 12:31. Anything that involves squatting and pressing weight above the head (think thrusters) wears me out like no other. Great and challenging workout! My friend Steph was the one who pushed me - I would've been much slower if it weren't for her because she was one step ahead of me. She beat me by 25 seconds. Good job Steph!

Best,
Tyler
