Support Your Local Box WOD 3

For Time:

50 Dumbbell Deadlfit
50 Ab-mat sit-ups
50 Box Step Ups
50 Single Arm Dumbbell Thrusters

20 minute time cap
Men use 50# Dumbbell and a 24" box


This WOD was going great, until the thrusters ruined everything.
Deadlift - 13/7/7/7/7/5/4 (3:35)
Sit-ups - 20/10/10/6/4 (2:50)
Step-ups - unbroken (4:20)
SA DB Thrusters (L/R) 6/4-5/5-5/5-5/5-5/5 (6:50)

Overall, I finished in 17:35, below the cap, which was my only real goal.  It was a good test for me and I need to continue to work with the 50# dumbbell.  I was pleasantly surprised that the dumbbells were not coming loose as frequently as they were on WOD 1.

DB 1 - (4) 10# + (1) 5# + (1) 3# + Handle 2#
DB 2 - (2) 10# + (5) 5# + (1) 3# + Handle 2#

Leftover, I have (3) 5# and (1) 3# after building the 2 dumbbells.  I will hold on to these, but do want to invest in rubber hex head dumbbells.

WOD 1 - 10 min AMRAP - 10 squats, 9 DB snatch (right arm), 10 push-ups, 9 DB snatch (left arm); men use 50# DB == 3 rounds + 10 squats + 9 DB snatch right arm +  3 push-ups (26,727 / 42,258

WOD 2 - 100 DU, 21 burpees, 75 DU, 15 burpees, 50 DU, 9 burpees; 15 minute cap == 14:22 (23,887 / 32,698)

WOD 3 - 50 DB deadlift, 50 sit-ups,  50 box step-ups, 50 single arm DB thruster; 20 minute cap, men use 50# DB and 24" box == 17:35 (15,915 / 24,611)

Overall 23,345 / 42,824

These were all good tests for me.  The 50# DB is not one that I play with in training too much.  My double unders were better than I expected and I was thrilled to finish under the cap.  I am glad I did them all Rx.  Week 1 may have been a better test at 35# as my DB snatches were really slow.

The more important part is that I had fun, raised some money for West Metro Crossfit (while maintaining my membership at Crossfit Golden) and got to measure myself against athletes worldwide.  I also got comfortable with WOD Proof and will continue to use it to film my workouts.
