  • 2012 CrossFit Games Opens 12.2 Workout

    Proceed through the sequence below completing as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
    30 Snatch (M 75 / F 45 lbs)
    30 Snatch (M 135 / F 75 lbs)
    30 Snatch (M 165 / F 100 lbs)
    Max Rep Snatch (M 210 / F 120 lbs)
    This workout begins from the standing position. The athlete will complete all reps at the first weight before advancing to the next weight. Score is total reps completed in 10min.

    Doing the 30 snatches with no bumpers was awkward. Stopped at 10 and 15 for quick rests to not burn out. I did the 75# with a rest at 10 and then every 5 due to my breathing and fatigue was setting in. Finished those rounds at 6:03. For the 100# I was going for a PR in my snatch (previously 95#) and failed on the first and fourth rep.

    SO FREAKING HAPPY!! During the second round, I thought to myself that this was definitely my kind of workout. Never thought I'd love snatching so much!
