DarK_RaideR Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thursday 7 December CF Liftoff 2017 workout No.3 12' AMRAP 25 Pullups 50 cal row 100 Overhead Squats (empty 20kg/44lb barbell) 50 Box Jumps 25 Pullups Score: 150 reps, meaning I made it to the 75th OH Squat. Pretty satisfied with how fast I got through the pullups (16 before I broke the first set) and a solid pace on the rower. My only regret is I should have rested the barbell on my shoulders back squat-style instead of dropping it on the ground and snatching it back up for the next set. 5 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
Kishi Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Live, learn, WOD. It happens. It probably sounds like it would have saved you time to rest it on your shoulders, but the trick being then - given that you were already squatting and already under load, would it have saved you energy?

DarK_RaideR Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 It's a trade off, as holding on to the bar would mean continuous strain of my back. Maybe the best thing would be to start by resting it on my shoulders, then later on put it down. 1 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment

People think rowing is about upper body strength, when in fact over 75% of the force comes from the legs. In that sense, I think the better analogy is that rowing is like a seated deadlift or DL High Pull (hiya there @Mr_Willes). With all your floating vehicular experience though, I think it's safe to say you'd most likely kick my butt in an actual rowing scenario. Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
Mr_Willes Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 And i seamlessly get worked into this, it's like you knew i was browsing this thread just a few minutes ago...

The clue is you're supposed to go heavy. Rx+ is touch&go which can get demanding, while in the simple Rx you can break it down to a lift every 30' and the rest periods let you go heavier. Two different things really Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment

Hmm might have to try that at home... Go for it. We were even allowed to change the load between sets (which takes out of your rest time though) so don't even worry about picking the right weight. Adapt as you go along, it's the Ranger way! Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
