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...
