CrossFit Games Open - 17.3

17.3 will separate the men from the young men.  RX or scaled this is an advanced workout that requires lots of strength and experience to get to the late rounds.  Our coaches recommend that most people should scale this and I agree.  You can do the RX and get an RX score but if you want to get a workout, you should scale it.

I knew going in my squat would be awful.  I struggle with going past parallel due to mobility and confidence.  My shoulders are not mobile at all.  I was not able to do 95 lbs with a full correct squat.  I tried 6 times with the time remaining.    With that said, I think my judge was being nice on the 45 and 75 too.  I just have a lot of work to do here.  As soon as I start going down, my shoulders come forward and I lose my positioning quick.

I also was discussing power lifting shoes with someone. I was making the point that they help you with lifting but most of the Metcon workout in CF would not be good with the PL shoes.  So why would we train with them.   Well, sure enough, 17.3 was an idea event to have power lifting shoes.  I don't know if they would have helped me or not but it was ironic.

Don't worry, 17.3, I will be back to show you I can do more.

Update : 3/13
17.3, I came back and I slightly concurred you.   I felt bad that I was not getting my squats deep enough and did not get enough no reps.  My judge was way too nice.  I told my judge on Sunday to no rep me every time I don't go low enough.
I ended up doing 92 reps.  I got 95 4 times the second try.  I did get 5 or 6 no reps trying to do 95lbs.  It is mostly a mental thing and just being comfortable going that low.

Even then, 17.3 I will be back again in a few months to show you I have improved.  I hope to be able to do 115 by then.
