OPT online competition February 15th and February 16th

Day 1 (comprised of 3 tests):

Test 1: Snatch TnG Skill Test

In 10 min find your 10-Rep TnG (“Touch-and-Go”) Squat Snatch from the floor (video submission required)

137#.   

Tried 142 and missed on rep 7.  

10RM for squat snatch was awkward. Tough to choose initial weight as I warmed up with doubles, triplse and maybe a set of 4. First set was with 137, which I hit. Was definitely a tough weight. Thought maybe 142 was possible so gave that a shot at about 6 minutes in but missed when I got a bit unstable coming out of bottom on rep 7. Legs felt a bit fatigued after this, nothing terrible but definitely there. 

- After completion of the Snatch TnG Skill test, you must take a 10 Minute Rest before moving onto Test 2

Test 2:  Burpee Repeatability Test

AMRAP Burpees in 40 sec/ rest 20 sec x 4      Jump to touch object 8" over max reach. 

19,17,16,15.  Pretty much all out from start. Started to notice lack of pop in round 3. Just tried to move and definitely not break at all. Was able to breath but by last set my arms/chest lacked pop.  Was dropping fast, just wasn't coming up as fast. 

- After completion of the Burpee Repeatability Test, you must take a 15 Minute Rest before moving onto Test 3

Test 3:  Deadlift/Wall Ball Test

7 rounds for time of:

10 Deadlifts @ 175lbs for men, 125lbs for women

15 Wall Balls @ 20lbs to 10ft for men, 14lbs to 10ft for women

7:01. Previous tests definitely had an effect on this. How much I don't know. Felt pretty much recovered from burpees when this started but this felt more like a grind than I expected. Fresh this is mid 6.  Not sure any longer on the rest would've helped if it was even an option. First 3 rounds done in ~2:35 so was on pace for a good low 6 but dropped off a bit after that.  Breathing was definitely the limiter, but shoulders were lit up a bit too. Broke DL on last Rd at 6 then 4 fast singles, broke WB on last set at 12/14/.   

After completion of Deadlift/Wall Ball Test, you have completed Day 1.

Day 2 (comprised of 1 test):

Test 4:  90 Minute AMRAP

AMRAP in 90 Minutes:

1300m Row

200m Farmer Carry @ 2pd/hand for men, 1.5pd/hand for women

15 Wall Walks

42 Double Unders

7 rounds plus 600m rowed.  Pretty much 12:30 per round consistent. Rowed about 2:00/500m. Wall walks were hardest part. Typically spent 4 minutes or so, maybe a bit more per round on these.  Would love to see a 90 min AMRAP in the Open!  It seems all open workouts test 5-15 minutes and all test the same thing. A nice endurance piece would be interesting to see. It will never happen because it would a logistical nightmare for gyms to pull-off. I actually kind of liked this in a weird way.
