Crossfit Open 15.1



Crossfit Open 15.1
AMRAP 9
15 TTB
10 Deadlifts 115 lbs.
5 Snatches 115 lbs.
161 Reps

Crossfit Open 15.1A
6:00 to find 1 RM Clean & Jerk
237 lbs. (206, 227, 237)

My goal on this workout was to put up a solid, if unspectacular score.  Due to a lack of muscular endurance in my forearms, I know that high rep TTB are a weakness of mine so I wanted to mitigate the damage by breaking the TTB up into small sets from the beginning to prevent complete muscle failure in the later rounds.  The plan more or less worked and I finished right about where I expected to finish.  I was hoping for a little more (six full rounds), but I am happy that it wasn't a complete flame out.

I hit my hopeful weight on my clean and jerk, which was 93% of my 1 RM.  It was a struggle.  My grip was still shot so my second pull was pretty much non-existent.  Just tried to dive under the bar as fast as possible.
