Hey, when did Daylight Savings start so early in the year? That was a nice surprise to hear that on the news. I won’t lose any sleep over it, though. My workout today demanded I get a good night’s sleep so I can hit again hard tomorrow.

After some warm-up lifts specific to the Crossfit “Diane” WOD I set the bars up to blast through it. I did sub out overhead presses for the handstand push-ups, though. The deadlift bar was set at 225# and the pressing bar at 90#.

3 rounds of 21-15-9 in 6:19 was done in much less time than my previous “Diane” in September of last year. That one clocked in at 7:54. Big improvement.

After a rest I added some kettlebell work with a 20 kg:

Goblet Squats, 10/10/10/.

Two Hand Anyhow, also using a 25# dumbbell overhead: 10/10/10.

Snatch: 10/10, 10/10, 10/10.

 

Nice volume, too at 16,815 lbs for the session.
