Defeated by Crossfit

I tried to do crossfit again yesterday.

“Elizabeth”

21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips

Post time to comments.

This seemed a lot harder than my last one. First, I don’t know the Olympic lifts, so doing 21 cleans was pretty daunting. Someone at the gym who did undergraduate weightlifting gave me some good tips after he noticed my horrible form. After doing the first 21 cleans poorly, I stopped. Later I realized that I should have substituted 2X squats instead. The other workout in Elizabeth is ring dips. I don’t have access to rings so I did regular dips instead. Since ring dips are so much harder than regular dips, I should have done twice as many, but I was already doing 10lb. (the last 9 reps @ 8lbs) assisted dips and getting tired. I’ll work my way up to it. I added some rowing to my workout too – 1000m @ 3.5 resistance in 4:54.1
