Masters Comp. WOD 1 walkthrough

Clean and Jerk Ladder Combined with Chest to Bar or Regular Pullups

This can be a power clean or squat clean and any way goes for the Overhead ("jerk").

C and J ladder AMRAP per minute alternating  with AMRAP chest-to-bar per minute

Barbell Weights:

Ages 40-49: 95/135, 105/145, 115/155, 125/165, 135/175, 145/185, 155/195

So, I was at somewhat of a disadvantage on this because I didn't set up 7 Barbells(!) pre-loaded with weights. I did set up 3 barbells of different weights and had to add change plates about every other round. This probably cost me :10 on those rounds.

Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly how many C&J's I got in each round. I do know that this WOD was really intense and it's one where you need to have something in the tank for the later rounds because of the way the scoring works. The CTB's were tough - #1 because I suck at them and #2 because my hands started to tear pretty early on. Need to think about making tape grips for when I do this in the comp.

The C&J's were not so bad. I dropped every single rep even at the lighter weights and I probably would not change that. Here are my scores as best as I can remember...

135# C&J = 11 reps
145# C&J = 9 reps
155# C& J = 8 reps
165# C&J = 6 reps
175# C&J = 6 reps
185# C&J = 5 reps
195# C&J = 5 reps

Rd. 1 Pull-Ups = 15 reps
2= 15
3= 12
4=9
5=9
6=9
7=10
