AM Workout (0700)
USMC PFT
25 Pull-ups (100 points)
3:45 Plank (100 points)
20:33 3 Mile (85 points)
-285 … 1 more point than last year, although my RPE was overall lower on this run and I haven’t been running much at all this year… all the crossfit has definitely helped me maintain my running despite cutting back my training volume on it a lot … anyway, pull-ups/planks were a breeze and overall happy with how this went.

5/19/26
Really fun/hard class workout today… felt very strong on the cleans and the HSW conditioning kicked my ass.
A.
Every :90 for 8 sets
Power Clean
Sets 1-3: 3 reps @ 185#
Sets 4-6: 2 reps @ 235#
Sets 7-8: 1 rep @ 255#
straight into…
EMOM 3:
8-10 Power Cleans at 40-50%
-Complete … there were some percentages for the working sets, but just went off feel and felt very solid throughout … did 3x8 with 155# on the EMOM.
B.
4 RFT:
15 DB Bench Press (2x60/40#)
50’ DB Front Rack Walking Lunge (2x60/40#)
100’ HSW
-22:10 … this was REALLY hard for me and very humbling … dumbell movements were manageable for me, but the volume of HSW was very hard for me… the last set of 100’ took me close to 5 minutes, which sucked.
