<\/p>\n18.4 = brutal!<\/p>\n
Another hard workout that was unfinishable! This week for the CrossFit Open workout, I couldn’t make my normal 5:30am slot and attended Friday Night Lights!! It was a fun atmosphere with more energy than a normal class. It also included lots of anxious waiting time! I went in Heat 2 so I could see it done first and had plenty of time to warm-up.<\/p>\n
18.4 was Diane followed by more deadlifts and Handstand Walk. In my guess for the workout, I included a handstand walk – though I can’t do one!<\/p>\n
Here is my score sheet:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Note that I did it Scaled+ which is a denotation for our gym’s competition and doesn’t correlate to the actual Open. Hannah, our fearless leader has for each workout mixed it up a little to fit our people. So the scaled plus was heavier weights and a harder modification for the handstand walk. Here is what I did:<\/p>\n
Diane –<\/p>\n
21 Deadlifts 185#<\/p>\n
21 Hand Release Pushups<\/p>\n
15 Deadlifts 185#<\/p>\n
15 Hand Release Pushups<\/p>\n
9 Deadlifts 185#<\/p>\n
9 Hand Release Pushups<\/p>\n
That took about 7 minutes, then came the really hard part.<\/p>\n
4 Deadlifts at 255# and that was 9 minutes.<\/p>\n
You can see in this picture the Rx (blue), Scaled+ (Orange), and Scaled (pink) modifications for us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I honestly didn’t think I’d make it through Diane in 9 minutes so I was quite pleased by that! Because of that, I hadn’t really looked at the weights for the second part. I knew that 45 reps at 185# would be tough – I haven’t done Deadlifts with heavy weight in forever! Dan had done the Scaled+ and said that I should do it. My 1RM is 265. So yes, I just did 4 reps at 96% of my 1 RM. As my sister said, “that’s not your 1RM anymore!”<\/p>\n
After I finished I was asked to Judge for Garrett, who did an awesome job at Rx and almost made it through Diane. And then Mary who blasted through Diane and finished her round of 15 at Scaled+ as the buzzer went off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
