2024 CF Games QuarterFinals Workout #4 - ALL Barbell - my weakness! Can I handle 245?!?

- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2024
- Workout 4 was my final test of the 2024 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals season...I took a rest day Saturday and did this Sunday afternoon. So my 2024 QF's are complete!!
Heavy weights & barbell cycling are NOT a strength of mine...that is probably my biggest weakness in CrossFit. Luckily I am capable and have confidence in these weights, but I still cannot move them nearly as quickly as the "big guys."
2024 Quarterfinal Workout #4 is, on a 10 minute running clock:
Complete 10 clean & jerks at 135lbs
REST 1 minute
Complete 10 clean & jerks at 18lbs
REST 1 minute
Complete 10 clean & jerks at 225lbs
REST 1 minute
In the time remaining, complete as many clean & jerks as possible at 245lbs until the 10:00 mark.
135 complete at 0:46
185 complete at 2:44
225 complete at 7:32
2 reps completed at 245 before 10:00
Final score = 32 reps, tiebreak time: 7:32
Thank you all so much for all the support this year, enjoy!

Tremendous effort, man. I have been following you since 24.1 trying to follow your strategy, since I am in your age category and the truth is that I admire the effort you make and the control you have of the times (pacing) you use in everything. Congratulations Bro!!!
Thank you so much Pedro, that really means a lot to me! I feel I have a pretty good grasp on making a strategy and pacing...those are my strengths (a heavy barbell is NOT, haha). Thanks again man, much appreciated!
@@jgleich21 Thanks to you, for doing what you do (suffering live) and enjoying doing it, only those of us over 45 know how bad it is and how good we feel doing it!! keep going like this!!!!
@@pedrocarracelasmaillo1325 Thank you sir! I'm gonna keep going as long as possible!
STRONG WORK!!
Thank you John, much appreciated!
Good job bro 🤜🏽🤛🏼
Thank you Pareanoa!
Very inspiring performance. Great job!!!
Thank you Blagomir, much appreciated!
@@jgleich21 My pleasure, John! Keep posting, please. You are such a fine example.
@@blagomirminov5220thank you, thank you, Blagomir!
Once again, very inspiring to see the mental toughness you displayed when nearing the breaking point. You found the strength to grit your way through those last several 225 reps that would have done most of us in, and got a couple 245s too. Congrats John, you earned it, and thanks for sharing your workouts with us!
Thank you again Sebastian, your support fuels me to keep pushing!
very proud of you sir.
Thank you very much!
Awesome work, John. A little scary there after your first rep @245#. You quickly went and sat on the box. Good thing you didn't pass out. You recovered well and hit another rep. Nicely done! 💪👏👏
Right!? That bar was heavy...really appreciate your continued support Ilich!!
Great job hitting 245!!! Question, on the 135s, wouldn’t it have been faster to do more touch and go vs dropping it after each rep? I felt it cost you 2 secs per rep. I totally get doing singles for heavier ones. Btw from the last comment, I wanted to let you know, I won my novice division from yesterday competition 🎉😊
Dude, that’s awesome Andrew, congratulations!! And to answer your question, yes, it would have definitely been faster. I considered it, but chose singles to try to stay as fresh
/calm as possible for the 225 round. That was gonna be my make or break for this one. It would be interesting to try it touch n go and see if it helps e at all…but I’d have needed another 30s+ to get another at 245. Congrats again!
@@jgleich21 That makes a ton of sense. Things I'm learning as a noob CF athlete is strategy and how to keep fresh.
@@chanman83 also, just saw one of the "big guys" re-did this one and did 10 touch n go with the 135...still took him about 31 seconds. So, IMO, it wouldn't be worth the effort for me...rather stay fresh! The saying I've heard several time from Boz lately is "the juice isn't worth the squeeze." Love that!
