a fat grace quickie
The workout: 3 minute AMRAP (as many reps as possible in a limited time) of very heavy Clean & Jerks. Warmup with 5 x 135 lbs and 2 x 185 lbs, then the first was a 3 minute AMRAP of 225 lbs clean & jerks. I only completed 6 (surprise to me, I thought I'd get more than 10 and possibly 12-14).
Then (already pretty thrashed) I did the 2nd set, AMRAP in 3 minutes of 185 lbs clean & jerks. Toward the end I got angry and aggressive. This is something which frequently happens to freckletash but not me.
Normally, of course, you're used to having control over your behavior. So experiences like this where you suddenly become aggressive and shouting without any apparent control over it are odd. (Cool observer remained somewhere inside watching the uptick in frustration and impulse.)
This was at the Luke AFB super-secret fighter pilots' gym. I'm still trying to zero in on how the General who runs Luke got intro'd to CrossFit. It's extremely cool that he's so solid in his support of it, unlike the vast majority of the govt's smurf nation.
