CrossFit WOD: OHS and PUs + 500m row finisher!

Today involved the skill work of sumo deadlifts. We did a 12-10-8-6-4 rep scheme to get things going and with the goal of doing heavy weight at the end - to work on form, I only ended with 315 lbs.  Great leg and butt work for sure!

After the skills, we did the following WOD:
21-15-9 reps of

Over-head squats (115 lbs Rx) - I did 95 to work on my technique
Pullups (chest to bar for me)

My time was 5:35 - not bad considering I failed 3 times on the OH squat portion. It's definitely a weak point of mine and it came through today. I will be working to correct that. I know that my 6'8" wingspan does not help things either ;-) But this WOD was very tough - I believe Doug indicated that it was a WOD at the Northeast Regionals (Rx was 135lbs though).

After the WOD, they had us do a finisher that is brutal. Anyone that has done a 5oom row as fast as possible knows this. But even after the torturous WOD, I set a new PR on the row with a 1:33 row! Super happy I got it done!

Until next time,
Tyler

    Brutal for a newcomer like me.....
