Love CrossFit, but Singles?

July 18, 2008 · Filed Under work out of the day 

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.
  1. 15 – too easy
  2. 20 – too easy
  3. 25
  4. 30
  5. 35
  6. 40
  7. 40
  8. 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?
