Three rounds for time of:
95 pound barbell Snatch, 21 reps
15 foot Rope-climb, two ascents, without legs, from seated start
If you don’t have a rope, make plans to pick one up, and until then, substitute 20 pull-ups for each ascent. Snatch is squat snatch, not power snatch.
So that's what I did, except for the 95 pounds which I 'safely' replaced with a 65 pound barbell, because I'm not really familiar with the squat snatch. Turns out lowering the weight was good idea, because somewhere in the 2nd set I had to bail out and lower (it wasn't really a dump) the bar from the overhead squat position to my 2 tires positioned just under the plates of my barbell. I did this one in 30:35 minutes. Still a really bad time. I still blame pull-ups for a huge loss of time, considering I have to break them up into sets of 3 or maybe 4. Fatigue really makes it difficult to match your normal amount of pull-ups in a rested state. Yep, CrossFit is on to something allright.
But I'm still in my first month of crossfit, so I'm still not supposed to push myself too hard either. Here's why (scroll down to the 5th paragraph).
