A little Nere for @sazz-orak‘s birthday! I love their design so much <3
So I decided to do the row machine today for the first time. I wanted to do the RX row for 17.4 and I got 4:44 not too bad right? Also righty after this I decided to do the weekly challenge at the gym to see how fast you could do 1000m row and I did that in 4:17 I about died lol.
Obsessed with this little crossfit family 😍 the kiddies hitting 17.4 like champs
CrossFit 3/17/2017 & 3/18/2017
3/17/2017
WOD: 6 rounds (not for time): low handle/high handle sled push + 10 pull-ups
Sled weights were 50#, 70#, 90#, 110#, 130#, 150#. Spent most of the workout doing active recovery and mobility work to prepare for...
3/18/2017
WOD: 17.4
13 minute AMRAP:
55 deadlifts (153#)
55 wall-balls (14#)
55 cal row
55 handstand push-ups
I did 166 reps Rx (1 HSPU), which is 21 reps better than when I did this workout two months ago in January. Did the deadlifts touch-and-go in straight sets of 5, and then the wall balls in sets of 11 (except for a set of 6 and 5 at the end). The row was the worst part and was horrible and soul-crushing. My grip was totally trashed and I could barely hold on to the handle, but my goal was to finish the row, and I did! Everything else was pretty smooth, and as a bonus, I didn’t blow up my back. Pretty happy with how much better I did this time around, especially because this workout does NOT favor small people!
17.4
aka FUCK my back hurts. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNobmdSjB58) Same workout as last year. The difference for me was that last year I was 3 months into crossfit and I deadlifted 43kg on the scaled version, this year I did the RX and deadlifted 70kg. 55 times. My back is not at all happy right now. Managed the 55 deadlifts + 10 wall ball shots before I ran out of time. The (really super) unfortunate thing is that only at the 50th deadlift my trainer realized I could have dropped the barbell after each rep, instead of wasting time and energy lowering it back down properly. I could have finished a lot sooner than my 10:38 time and shoved in more of the 55 required wall ball shots. So since I hate myself, if my back recovers completely by Monday I’m going to try again.
