Day 34 #theoutlawway #2014

WOD 131019:

BBG

1) 15 minutes to establish a 1RM Snatch - 195 (100%, easy)

Conditioning

“Outlaw CrossFit B4B Championship Event”

This is one continuous piece:

1 minute ME Clean & Jerks 135/95# - 10 2 minutes ME Split Jumps (each jump counts 1 rep) - 40 1 minute ME Clean & Jerks 155/105# - 6 2 minutes ME C2B Pull-ups - 12 1 minute ME Clean & Jerks 185/120# - 4 2 minutes ME Target Burpees 6″ - 15 1 minute ME Clean & Jerks 225/150# - 1

Notes: Use 4 barbells for this. Changing the barbell took too much time, metcon wasted, because lots of precious seconds were used to add the plates, hence the low scores for me in the BW rounds.
