First time retesting this classic in probably 8 years. One of my favorites.
After watching the video back, I realize I’ve gotta work on my catch position / front rack!
The last score I can remember was a PR at 2:58 Rx…in a gym setting with people watching/shouting/judging.
Today I was solo, and targeted under 3:30. Happy with where I ended up at 3:18, especially considering I didn't have a clock to watch or anyone yelling at me.
I always approach “Grace” as all singles - no sets. Goal is to keep the muscle fatigue at bay, heart rate in check, and simply get back on the bar as quickly as possible after each drop.
Initially, I started out picking the barbell up immediately as it stopped bouncing. Toward the middle of the workout I noticed I was taking a step longer. I definitely slowed down, but not too much.
I was catching the barbell with my elbows lower, so I wasn't getting the best power transfer into the jerk, which forced me to press it out on several reps. Not the most efficient.
Otherwise this effort felt ok. I wonder if I could’ve beat my PR with people yelling at me to “go, go, go!” 🧐
Crazy how right after the workout I sat in front of the camera thinking I could talk...then it took me another minute to truly catch my breath!

Got home late from a meeting today and wasn’t planning on working out today, but this showed up and inspired me to give this classic a go just to get some movement today. Thanks for the motivation and as always you crushed it.

Glad this helped spark some motivation in you. That's awesome to hear!

@@gel141 appreciate the support but there are definitely people out there who can do Grace unbroken and get around 1:30. Those people are insane!

Jeremy great stuff. But what's happening with your front rack? 😮

@wodwell Год назад

Yeah, happy to explain more. I mention my rack position briefly in the post-WOD commentary. I catch with elbows low, which not only looks weird but also results in less power transfer to the overhead position. It's a habit I developed when I injured my left collar bone years ago. I still have pain when the barbell contacts my collarbone. So, in order to protect the collar bone, I catch the barbell more forward (especially when I cycle straight from clean to overhead). On a good day, I pay more attention and I catch the barbell more on my shoulders. But when I do that it's easier to accidentally hit my collarbone. So, it's been a hard habit for me to break!

@@wodwell Jeremy thanks for the full disclosure. You did indeed explain the background in the WOD that I realised much to my shame having penned my question to you in mid vlog. You could told me to stick it where the sun don't shine - the placed I'd like to reserve for wall ball WODs - so appreciate your candour. Hadn't appreciated the vast back catalogue that is WOD WELL, I think I stumbled on one or two of your vlogs randomly a while back but only recently realised that I was viewing the archipelago to what behind the horizon was a vast continent of sweat, red lining and the more than occasion no rep that we must alway forgive in mortal performances. And that's the secret of your compelling success, at least in my view. It's good to see yourself in these performances rather than the natives of Valhalla whose breathless aplomb can leave one rather emptied. You put the great wash of Crossfiters on display and I'm both proud to see the lauded and to be among their serried ranks. 😁

@@patrickedwards5804 all good! I'm glad you asked. Most people who see this video probably won't stick around for the post-WOD commentary. By the way, are you a writer? A poet? Your writing has swag!

@patrickedwards5804 Год назад

@@wodwell Jeremy apologies for the tardy reply. Yes I write, it's the day job when I'm not obsessing over getting my double unders off pat or scheming to RX a workout. Actually I'm researching a book on crossfit that I think will be something of a travelog, getting a glimpse of life in US towns through the post WOD gaze of the local crossfit box and community around it. Are there places that you think can tell interesting stories about the pursuit of happiness and the American way..?

@wodwell Год назад

@@patrickedwards5804 well, that sounds like a blast of a book to write. We love dropping into local boxes in out travels, too. Visiting boxes around this country (and the world) is a cool way to get a glimpse of local culture. The US is a pretty vast country. It would take a very long time to see all of it. So, if I was planning a trip through the US, I'd start by learning about the sub-regions and picking the ones that appealed most to me. Each region -- and sub-region -- has its own history, geography, culture, and personality. Here's an interesting video breaking down US sub-regions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mGge_d1BOZU.html
