See comments for workout rules.
Post pull up reps, snatch weight, and burpee reps to comments/Logwod.
Shelley does "Grace" for Barbells for Boobs while in LA.
(only a dumbbell between the legs can be used)
Scale 1: Regular Weighted Pull ups
Scale 2: Unweighted Pull ups (as high as you can reach)
If none of these are attainable, continue to work on strict pull ups w/ a band and/or negatives.
Snatch begins with an empty bar. All skill work must occur with an empty bar.
Both power and squat snatch variations are allowed.
Burpees
All burpees are of the bar facing variety. You must face the bar to complete the burpee and then jump over the bar before repeating the process.
snatch = 154# (3 mins is barely enough time to get your weights and load the bar. I only had 4 snatch attempts. 2 @88#, 1 @110, 1 154#)
Burpees = 35 (just balls out the whole time)
Different kind of workout today, so a couple of us finished with some Tabata situps.
Thanks 5amers. Good seeing you LeClaire!
11 pullups with 15#, 142# power snatch, 32 burpees.
Sold myself short on the snatch--should've gone straight from 132 to 154. Oh well.
Couldn't keep the 30# DB secure enough to kip, so I dropped to 15#. that was hard enough. Could've gotten a few more reps, but I figured I'd save some strength for the snatch.
Oddly, I found muscle fatigue to limit me more on burpees than breath.
108# Snatch - Power Snatches are stronger for me but ran out of time
26 burpees.....seems that the turn is key to keeping momemtum
Good times, good times

120# snatch - PR. Crazy that I PR'd on this, I guess sometimes not thinking is a good thing.
26 burpees.
Good stuff 6am!
97# Snatch; felt relatively easy, but 3 minutes goes by fast.
27 burpees; I never rested/paused but I took a step every time after each one to get to the bar before jumping over which slowed me down.
Thanks BC for pointers on CTB pullups afterwards. These have always been a thorn in my side, and when I mentioned that weighted CTB felt no different to me than regular CTB, he gave me a couple tips and I was able to do them much more easily and get more in a row. I did 5 sets of 5 with a couple in the middle sets being "iffy", but the last set was really good (for me). Something finally "clicked".
Great job 6 a.m., and especially to Gina who I believe matched her PR of 92#, and it looked pretty easy.
After that is where my planning really went to crap. 88 on snatch. Was loading the bar for 132 when time was called. This workout was about strategy, and mine stunk. Lesson learned. 23 on BFBs.
Felt like the old days, hitting tabata Tuesday with E. Good job hanging with us on those, Madison!
I did 63# snatch, 3 min goes very fast.
23 bar facing burpees.
Not sure I pushed myself hard enough today, but there's always tomorrow.
Good work 6 am, it's always fun to feel the energy of a big group class.

164# for the snatch, I actually didn't start the lift til the buzzer but I still count it since there were no 5's and Josh was kind enough to let me use his bar and 5's right at the end.
31 BFBs, my goal was at least 30 but I think I took a little off the intensity when I knew I was going to get to 30 in plenty of time.
I liked this WOD. It is a lot different from the traditional metcon but it forces you to think about your abilities and strategize. It also requires a combination of strength, technique and endurance.
Fun workout today and a huge 6AM as usual!
68# for OHS instead of snatch
45 for ball slams instead of BFB
Nice job 6am!

Another work out that was a lot more fun than I had originally thought.
Great noon class!
pretty happy with this since I surpassed by "goal" reps/weight.
great job 4:30! everybody was makin big moves! :)
and I agree with Hannah, Jess~ any pregnant woman doing pull ups is bad ass!!!
186# Snatch (Strength)
40 BFB
I was a fan of this style of WOD. I struggled with the pull ups but I have to admit my mind was already thinking about my snatch attempts. The burpees were just an all out sprint which was a great way to finish.
JChrist
73# snatch - KNOW I could have gotten more if there'd been more time. Should have started heavier & will know to next time.
21 BFB
Started pullups with alternate grip and ended up switching to regular grip after 12 reps. Worked much better for me.
Missed an attemp at 154 lbs on snatch so had to use my last attempt to get the weight. Wanted to get a little heavier.
And burps were a dead sprint. Calves were on fire.
20 C2B (no wht)
68# Snatch
23 burpees
looking back should have done strict w/a dumbell for C2B's. need to get stronger.
Snatch was horrible. i absolutely hate snatch and it all has to do with my shoulders. need a lot more work here too.
burpees kept moving but not fast enough.
I really liked the format of todays wod.
