Visit to CF Infinite Strength

Tuesday 4/15

The whole crew, Allison, Jess, Brady and I, headed over to CrossFit Infinite Strength  which is a huge gym with pretty much every piece of equipment you can think of. They have a super nice facility and more space than an MICF'er would know what to do with!

Allison and Jess did the "competition" WOD, which is a workout set up for their elite athletes. Brady and I decided to do the CrossFit.com (main site) workout of the day.

WOD

Nukes

8 minutes to complete:
1-mile run
315-lb. deadlifts, max reps
Then, 10 minutes to complete:
1-mile run
225-lb. power cleans, max reps
Then, 12 minutes to complete:
1-mile run
135-lb. overhead squats, max reps

Do not rest between rounds. Post run times and reps completed for each exercise to comments.

This was just what we needed, a long, heavy WOD to battle through... and it was very well balanced for both Brady (the heavy stuff) and me (the running). After a short warm up we set the clock and the door for our two 800m loops.
The first mile was quick, 5:50, and the deadlifts were easier than expected, but going back out on the run was awful.
the pace was much slower on run 2, and I scaled the power cleans to 205#. Those were very difficult and I only pulled off 8 reps. Brady made the 225# look easy.
The final run I tried to put as much distance between myself and Brady as possible. I came in well ahead of him and went to work on the OHS @ 135#. I got two sets of 8 and my shoulders were burning. I saw Brady break after a short set and I knew I could get a good lead if I pushed it.
After it was all said and done, I have 30 reps, Brady had 20.
That was a great WOD, part heavy, part fast. The perfect choice for us to go head to head on.

Watch: Corey & Brady take on Hero WOD Nukes

Brady definitely got the RX but I still had more reps on the DL and OHS... so, well call this one a tie!
