IE12: Fast, Heavy
So the rumors from earlier in the week about something really heavy on the horizon we’re true. We stepped into the coliseum for this announcement and there were a lot of plates on the floor…
Time to see how everyone’s backs held up from last night! A fast and heavy workout. These kind of events are pretty fun, they don’t hurt too bad, you can just either do it or you can’t.
crossfitthor did the demo on the floor and they actually made him do the whole workout at game weight. Pretty tough one to do after just standing there cold 😂 but if anyone can do it it’s Grif. I didn’t time it but it was gonna be sub 2 minute for sure.
Side note, I love how some announcements the burden is so much higher on the athlete doing the demo. Griffin did this whole workout but the day before spraguerrrr got away with doing like one wall ball in the demo. They do lots of testing, but as far as demos go Griffin drew the shortest straw this year 😂
Anyways, we didn’t have a lot of time to warm up, especially heat 1. So right after the announcement we warmed up the clean and then the yoke carry. Legs were tired but still had it in the clean but the yoke carry was all over the place.
Earlier in the week we selected our sizes from 10 options but The set ups in the back had no numbers on them and there were only 3. I split my warm up between one that was too short and one that was too tall. It didn’t give me much confidence in the carry and I just hoped my height in the floor felt nice 🤷🏼‍♂️
When we got called I went and did one quick deadlift on a bar someone had set, I don’t know how heavy it was.
Before I went out iamwillgeorges told me to be more aggressive than I think and that it’s easy, but like in a more French way. For those that don’t know willy is very strong. On the floor thankfully the yoke height felt way better than in the back so I cruised through that and had Willy’s voice in my head as I rushed into the clean and then got fully spat out the back along with a few other guys 🥲. Right, willy strong. I regrouped and hit the next one. Deads were easy, a bit of a prayer on the clean again and it went up, then back on the yoke.
