CrossFit Day 76

Today’s workout was a newish one, ten rounds of front squats for one rep max. Unfortunately, I still don’t have a barbell setup. I subbed the whole workout for ten rounds of ten rep sets of the front squat, using a pair of 35 pound dumbbells.

Shoulder squats with dumbbells are really tricky. First, you clean the weigh up on top of your shoulders, then you roll the dumbbells off your thumbs. Then, you lean your head back against dumbbells, so they don’t fall forward onto your shins or linoleum (or balls). Then, when you finish a set, you clean them back down to the ground, take a drink of water, and go for it again. I completed all hundred reps in just over 15 minutes (15:05 on the stopwatch).

My results: 15:08, 7:42 zone (hard), HR: 159 avg, 180 max; 197 cal
