WOD
A
8 minutes
find 1RM Power Clean

Result: 295, 305, 315F, 315F

Pretty bummed about this. Really disappointed I didn't hit 315#. However, I understand why I didn't. I know I'm relatively fatigued even if I don't necessarily feel it. I did film my 315# attempts and will have them up tomorrow. I forgot to have my buddy beam them to me. I will say, in watching the attempts, my hips did not open fully. I wasn't fully extended and my elbows were slow. You'll be able to see that tomorrow. Sorry about that.

B
8 Minute AMRAP Power Clean @ 90% above 1RM

Result: 10 reps @ 275#

I'm okay with this. I went into to it with an EMOM mentality and did a little better. I'm not exactly sure what this means but I'm content with it. The weight felt challenging on the first 3 reps, but after that I was able to pick up the pace pretty quickly. On the last minute, 3 reps were completed. Pretty stoked about that.

Preston - what does this result mean and where would it put on the scale of CrossFit athleticism? (i.e. below average, average, above average, skilled, elite, etc.)
