Crossfit Armoury - March 17, 2018: Open Gym + Mobility

Crossfit Armoury

Thoughts:

Came in early (8:45 am) to work on some Olympic lifting because I felt energized; despite doing the Open 18.4 last night.  I figure I would need a little bit more than an hour before doing the mobility class at 10 AM.

Plus I wanted to scope out the area where I can lift before anyone else comes into the open gym area.  At 9:00 AM, there is the early crossfit class and I wanted to grab some equipment before they start.  Namely a barbell and some plates.  I guess I could had use the dedicated olympic lifting plates (in kg) that was on my side of the open gym.  Oh well; one does not think of everything at that moment.  I'm so use to grabbing the black bumper plates.

I worked on my snatches and later, moved to my clean & jerks.  I followed a spur of the moment routine, working on progression with Snatches with certain percentages.   However, I did not feel as strong as I would normally and had trouble hitting my normal 85% weight (135 lb).  After two failed attempt, I opted to move to the Clean and Jerk.

There I went and work thru percentages based on my past week olympic lifting.  I did hit 185 lb before calling it.   It was time to put away the plates and do the mobility class.


Mobility class:  Arri was teaching this session and it focus on easing the potential pain/strain from the open 18.4.

Sadly, I didn't get a picture of what he covered nor remember all the exact movements.   I did find that it helped with post open movements.
