Happy Birthday to Phil!
WOD 11 12 12
A. In 40 minutes, use
[3 official attempts to establish a max Snatch
3 official attempts to establish a max Clean & Jerk]
*This WOD will run like an Olympic Weightlifting competition, where the weight on the bar will only increase. (Set up 1 M and 1 W bar), with the last snatch occurring before the first C&J. Lifters will get 2 minutes to follow themselves and 1 minute to follow someone else. Olympic Weightlifting movement standards apply. 3 referees per lift if possible.
B. For time:
“Grace”: 30 C&J (135/95). Movement standard is simply: GTO.

You guys, for my birthday, don’t talk to Troy today. Don’t even look at him.
I’m super pissed at him about fantasy football.
Dear Diary: I just told all the girls at the gym to TOTALLY ignore Troy. Turns out he was the guy with the mullet, and I was the guy who got cupcaked! As if!!!
i HATE getting cupcaked.
Only one way to drown out birthday football losses – TO THE PINHOOK!!!
Phil, nice snatch!
Yay!! Happy Birthday, Phillip!! And I agree with Chef, that is a good-looking snatch you have there, sir… 😉
Had a great day in the gym. Got a couple PA’s. Outlifted Troy.

Snatched 186 warming up (1lb PA) then:
Snatched 185,
190,190Clean & jerked 205, 225,
235————————————————————————————–
Grace: 5:35, Rx
————————————————————————————–
So that’s a snatch PA, a jerk PA, a clean&jerk PA, a total PA, and a Grace PA (I think). Holla.
Had a fun day with our Syndicate – highlighted by gratuitous bar slams by Ed and Pedro, great faces by Special Ed (the name of a future TV show?), and Eron making reckless 30 lb jumps on the C&J and still making the lifts like a boss. (or Bost?)
Just another Monday!
I got overriden a few times by the birthday boy on a few pressouts. The man was white-lighting everything in sight!
I’m getting magnanimous in my old age, what can I say?
Came in to this WOD looking to have a day like Phil did. But, alas, it was Phil’s birthday, and not mine.
Got 65# on the snatch (5# PA) after the Oly Comp (when no one was watching). I’ve wanted to make a 75# snatch ever since the CF Games Open last Feb!
Came SO CLOSE at 101# for the C&J. I am finally lifting a weight heavy enough where how I recover my feet from the split jerk matters. Lost the attempt when my weight went forward while I was trying to move my back foot too much.
Grace was a little embarrasing at 8:22 with 65#.
