That part was easy. I&#8217;m built like a <a href=\"http:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/?p=1237\">beast of burden<\/a>, so lifts that are all legs, back, and haunches&#8212;no big whoop.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m not gonna lie, after the first handful, I was all wormy on those push-ups.<\/p>\n<p>The box jumps&#8212;you know, I wanted to do the WOD as prescribed, and I&#8217;ve jumped a twenty-<em>five<\/em>-inch box before even. But box jumps are actually pretty dangerous. If you&#8217;re doing 15 every round, and you&#8217;re tired, and you catch a toe on the edge, it could mean a whole lot of orthodontic work. I&#8217;m 35 and single. I figured a full set of dentures probably wouldn&#8217;t increase my odds.<\/p>\n<p>So I jumped a 17&#8243; box.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up with six rounds, plus six dead-lifts. The bad-asses were getting eight and nine rounds (Rx, of course).<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s this one dude. He&#8217;s not a big dude. He&#8217;s a relatively small dude, in fact. Probably weighs 140 pounds. Dude did ELEVEN rounds and change.<\/p>\n<p>I was counting and recording his rounds for him, and I really had to concentrate because I found myself just wanting to watch him move. He was all efficiency and strength and power and quickness.<\/p>\n<p>I was totally inspired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, whether you were registered for the CrossFit Games or not, you did Open WOD #2, which was: 15-minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of: 9 dead-lifts (155 lbs. for men, 100 for women) 12 hand-release push-ups (hand release at the bottom, to make sure your chest hits the floor, I guess) 15 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/2011\/04\/03\/open-wod-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open WOD #2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liftin-heavy-objects-over-ma-head"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2283"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6493,"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2283\/revisions\/6493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avidbruxist.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
