Love CrossFit, but Singles?
July 18, 2008 · Filed Under work out of the day · Comment
I’ll admit, like other CrossFit junkies, I struggle to understand ‘single’ days. Perhaps all the MetCon training we do has me conditioned to want to destroy the workout more, but it’s a little less-than satisfying after completing single days.
Maybe I’m not hitting it hard enough
WOD – Weighted pullups singles
1x1x1x1x1x1
- Body weight: 202lbs (as of 7/17/2008)
- started with a warm up of clean-n-jerk, snatch, deads, and no-load pullups.
- 15 – too easy
- 20 – too easy
- 25
- 30
- 35
- 40
- 40
- 40
But, I didn’t feel spent. Yea, the third set of 40lbs was a movement to failure, but that’s just load, not fatigue.
I know the first two days of this 3 on one 1 schedule were brutal …and yesterday was all ‘push’ work, so I suppose to both give us a small break, and focus on PULL work, was coach’s intention.
Ideas? thoughts?
