Skills Day
November 20, 2009 · Filed Under crossfit metro blog · Comment
Today’s WOD called for 1x1x1x1x1x1x1 of deadlift, but we didn’t do that since jay is still learning the compound oly lifts.
We worked on:
- Handstand holds (10 second progressions for 10-40 secs.)
- Kipping pull-ups (Christian worked on butterflies)
- Deadlift (Jay-135lb, CG-185lb) in sets of 5
- Power clean form
- Squat clean form
Results:
Jay is still a little clumsy with compound movements, but has improved quite a bit. We kept the weight light as we’re running a fastĀ 5K race in the a.m. and Jay is still new to the deadlift.
Next time, we’ll crank him up to 155lbs.
…and to our handstand holds up to 1 minute.
