CFCP is closed tonight due to snow. It’s funny how the entire area goes bananas when we get snow. Although it’s probably the right choice to make sure no one gets hurt, the NY’er in me finds the response to less than 1″ of snow to somewhat hilarious.

3×3 snatch – This just sucked for me. I don’t really know what to attribute it to. Cold, tired, sore… just a bad day. Things just weren’t working and for whatever reason, I just could not get the technique to go like I usually do. On Monday, I was snatching 145# pretty effortlessly. This time, I was having problems with 115#. Some days you got it, and some days you don’t.

“Tabata Tabata”

• 40s on / 20s off on the C2, must stay within 3 calories of previous round.
• Penalty of 1 strict pull up for every calorie outside of plus/minus 3 of previous round.

All of my rounds were either 12 or 13 calories. No strict pull ups for me!

“Double Your Fun” (I named this one myself)

• 15 power cleans
• 30 ring dips
• 12 power cleans
• 24 ring dips
• 9 power cleans
• 18 ring dips
• 6 power cleans
• 12 ring dips
• 3 power cleans
• 6 ring dips

My time was 14:05. I started out with the purple band on the dips because I wanted to work my range of motion. Somewhere at about 15 or so, I started failing out, so I just took the band off and decided to kip. I guess you can’t really say that I fully Rx’d this one, but I mostly Rx’d it. I still paid attention to my ROM on the dips as much as possible, but man, 90 of them is no small task.
