Thursday, August 26: Crossfit Fitness Test #2 15RM Clean and Jerk

Warm Up:
Stretch

Squat Clean 5-5-5-5-5

Jacob 135-145-155-165-185

Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5

Jacob 135-145-155-165-185

WOD #1
Crossfit Test 2:
Clean and Jerk 15 Reps

Performance: There is no time limit, but the weight cannot be rested on the ground. Resting at the hang, rack, or overhead is O.K. At the ground, the athlete must touch and go. Technique is otherwise not critical.

Scoring: The score is exactly the load lifted.

4-20 Points Score as follows...

4pts. 115-119
5pts. 119-124
6pts. 125-129
7pts. 130-134
8pts. 135-140
9pts. 141-146
10pts. 147-152
11pts. 153-159
12pts. 160-166
13pts. 167-174
14pts. 175-182
15pts. 183-189
16pts. 190-198
17pts. 199-207
18pts. 208-216
19pts. 217-224
20pts. 225+

Character: This classic movement is traditionally an excellent test of overall strength, but when performed at 15 reps becomes an extraordinary metabolic challenge as evidenced by max heart and respiratory rate.

Workout: This test can be practiced as a workout by completing the test and then repeating at twelve and nine reps with the same load, resting between efforts as needed.

Score 11pts.

Then Out of frustration...

WOD #2
5 Minutes Max Reps
Floor to Overhead, 155lbs

Jacob 38 Reps (2010 Crossfit Sectional PR 40)

I'm still happy doing 77 floor to overheads at an average weight of 155lbs)

Kenny 48 Reps (2010 Crossfit Sectionals best score 47... Kenny Wins!!)

I really think if you game this test like a bear complex and rest the weight in you waist during a partiat squat like in a bear complex challenge you can push out a few more reps. I will do that next time.

Do the cleans have to be squat cleans? I'm thinking no since it says "technique otherwise not critical."
