I had an UBWO scheduled today. I did heavy, low rep chest and back today. Instead of a normal shoulder workout, I did the CF WOD, with modifications. The WOD was:
"Gwen"
Clean & Jerk 15-12- and 9 reps
Touch and go at floor only. Even a re-grip off the floor is a foul. No dumping. Use same load for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
First off, I misread this as 21-15-9 reps. I decided to use 95 pounds. If I go too light, my form is all over the place. It's really hard to properly do a clean if the weight is too low. You most likely end up doing a reverse curl instead. After beginning, I realized there was no way I was getting in 21 reps at this load. This routine quickly becomes a met-con routine after 7 or 8 reps. I did what I could, breaking up my sets long enoough to catch my breath before starting. I ended up doing the full 45 reps, although not as instructed. I don't have a baseline for Gwen, but that's okay. It was a great total body workout. I did some bicep work and weighted dips with 50 lbs on the belt. Finished up with cable fly/pullup supersets.
I seem to be more motivated now that I've been regularly adding CF WODS to my routine. I seem to be progressing more too. Hmmm. That should tell me something!
