As with many workouts, it looks really simple and straightforward on the board: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>30 clean &amp; jerk for time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I found myself in an interesting personal dilemma last night. The Rx weight for this is 135lbs. I tried pressing 135lbs and it was a little dicey. I am not really that great on the technique for a jerk yet and I was honestly scared to try it out for the first time with that much weight. <\/p>\n<p>While I should have used a weight somewhere in between 95lbs and 135lbs, I ended up doing the workout with 95lbs which is the women&#8217;s Rx weight. I was the only one in the class that didn&#8217;t do Rx =(. <\/p>\n<p>I read a <a href=\"http:\/\/crossfitcp.blogspot.com\/2009\/08\/fear-not.html\" target=\"_blank\">post on the CPCF blog<\/a> a few months back where Nikki was asking how come people weren&#8217;t going heavy on their workouts. I remembered this posting after I got home last night. I think I feel prey to this fear of the weight. <\/p>\n<p>My time for this workout was 2:36. It was challenging for me with 95lbs, but not &#8220;lay on the floor after the workout&#8221; challenging. I should have used more weight. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some things I would like to work on as far as crossfit goes in the upcoming months:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep working kipping pull ups. <\/li>\n<li>Schedule a skills session for pose running. <\/li>\n<li>Practice Olympic lifts with lower weight so that I can get more comfortable with them. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After crossfit last night, I headed down to meet Victoria at the KF school. I watched the lower belt class then joined in for the brown belt class. I hadn&#8217;t taken one of those in a while.<\/p>\n<p>It was a good review and I was able to help one of the 2nd&#8217;s start on the sai kata, which is one of my favorites. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was the first time I got to do &#8220;Grace&#8221;, another named workout from the crossfit archives.
