CF Open 11.3 again
Today (Mon Feb 4, 2013) at MBS we did a repeat of the workout from two years ago.
As many reps as possible in 5 minutes of:
165 squat clean & jerk.
Back in 2011 ( see the results [ HERE ] ), I scaled to 85# and I segmented the squat clean. That is, I did a power clean, stood it up, then did a front squat. Then I did the jerk overhead.
On this day, I did full squat clean, catching the bar in a squat and riding to the bottom. Then did push jerk. Can't recall if I resorted to split jerk in 2011 or not.
Row 500m max
I'm not sure I have ever done this, or logged a time. At the end of the workout on Fri Jan 4, 2013, I did:
Row 500 meters. max effort.
Time: 1:51
Filthy Fifty the second time
On Wed, Jan 2, 2013. At MBS CrossFit, we did "Jeff's birthday workout" in honor of my 50th birthday.
"Filthy Fifty"
I last did this in Nov 2009, with a logbook entry of 40:00, but I think the clock stopped or something. Plus, the last time I modified several aspects.
This time:
CrossFit Fran the second time around
I did workout Fran at MBS today. This is only the second time I have this workout in over three years.
Time was 9:01. 55lb thrusters, kipping pullups. A PR. Last time was 10:49. So a 17% improvement.

Olympic Lifting Total
On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 we held an Olympic Weightlifting meet at MBS.
Olympic Weightlifting is one of the oldest sports in the Olympics. It is composed of two events: the Snatch, and the Clean & Jerk. There are formal rules on what constitutes a good lift, a timing clock, judges, etc.
The athlete gets three attempts at the Snatch and three attempts at Clean & Jerk.
On this day my attempts were:
Snatch:
85 lbs - Good
95 lbs - Fail. substantial press out at the top
95 lbs - Good. PR
Clean & Jerk:
