Another Crossfit Workout....Grace



What is Grace?
Grace is 30 clean and jerks with 135lbs (men).  This means you pick a 135lb barbell up from the ground and lift it overhead and back to the ground....30x.

I first learned of "Grace" last week, when I heard of some strongman doing it is 1:19 (I think).  The video was incredible.  Putting 135lbs overhead 30x is no joke.

Well today I started another cycle of Wendler's 5/3/1 with Over Head Press.  Since I sold my Rogue Bar and plates, I used my fat bar (2" diameter) for my work sets.

Results
After my strength portion, I decided to attempt Grace.  I did it in sets of 5....the total 30 reps took 4:04.  I certainly could have pushed harder, but I was using a 31mm junky barbell and steel plates in the grass under the 100 degree Texas sun.  I'll try this one again...
