"Mary likes to clean"

Amrap20
1 attempt at heavy clean (power or squat)
5 hspu
10 pistols
15 pullups
(score is total weight cleaned)
total=665kg

This wod was designed to challenge athletes with complex gymnastics movements and lifting heavy when fatigued, A common occurance in elite crossfit competitions. Only one attempt of the clean was allowed and if unsuccessful, another round of mary had to be completed before another attempt could be made.
I chose to go very heavy and pace myself throughout the wod, trying to get focus on the movements and technique rather than going balls to the wall. I made all the cleans but in doing so spent alot of time resting to prepare for the lifts, something im going to minimise next time i go heavy. My cleans were as follows.. 100kg/100/100/95/90/90/90 = 665kg
Ive made a huge improvement in my strength and power since my max clean is 100kg and i got 3 during a wod aswell as 1 right before the wod. Being comfortable with that weight is very motivating, I want to become so confident with weight that anything under 100kg seems really light. Keep lifting heavy and following crossfit football, strongman wod should keep me on the right path.
Wednesday night im going to an adult gymnastics class with some mates which should be loads of fun! stay tuned for that..
