If anyone needs to get jacked about this workout, I suggest you watch the video of Rich Froning destroy this thing and still knock out 8 reps at 210# to finish it. Crazy good.
This looks so cool!!!!
Dave R.,
You got what you wanted: snatch. Heavy.

@Joe- That video was awesome and the scary part is that Froning looked like he had more in him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was sandbagging it for the demo…
@Dave R. BRING IT
@CP – I concur, I think he could have hit 15 or so at 210# with quicker transitions on the weights. Animal.
I was chatting via Facebook with Sofia J. this morning from Russia, and she forwarded me the Russia version of the Games site with an interview by the burpee 1st place finisher, Danila Shokhin. Of course, it was in Cyrillic, so I had to use google translate. This is his advice to new Crossfitters (which, according to Sofia, in Russian, is a very strong statement):
What would you advise those who want to start doing CrossFit, or just recently started.
If you are clumsy plump bun, do not despair, do not hurry to achieve results, be persistent and tenacious, and it is quite possible that you will be completely mobile and coordinated bear. After one day, this way I have done.
Words to live by!
Also, Sofia says “Hi”, and she hopes you remember her. She is still crossfitting in Russia.
I’m a little excited.
@CP – are you saying you want a piece?

Didn’t know how to do snatch balance, so I did some good ‘ol fashioned weight training.
Read: biceps curls.
