Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we call a separator workout. The first two open events were great for getting everyone involved in the competition. This one is to determine who’s really contending for a spot at Regionals. Yes, it’s heavy, and there’s no gray area, either you lift the weight, or you don’t. The good news, this is technically a couplet, so a power clean and front squat keeps you in the game. Get all the info on the WOD here. Show up, go heavy, and see how you compare.

More Ron & Yosh love on the mainsite: http://games.crossfit.com/features/videos/their-own-words-week-2
this is easily becoming one of my favorite parts of the week! you guys kick ass!
My favorite part of this one is when Yosh is working SO hard and KP is in the background snorgling baby Isabella. It is pure CFF awesome.
Open 2011.3
11 rds. Rx
Good luck to everyone taking on this workout tomorrow!
great job today bud
MAD props for tackling this Rx. Great job!
Way to go Shane! Watching you out the corner of my eye! Awesome!
Well done, Mr. Baron!
I did Bear Fight since I missed it Tuesday (and knew I’m nowhere near being able to Rx 11.3). GRRRR indeed.
8:27 @ 30kg. Great programming.
8 rounds – my first RX in 2+ months! The squat in the squat clean just kind of worked for me today, which was a first.
Good luck to all of our fierce competitors tomorrow!
Congrats!!!
Congratulations Jen! So impressive!
Excellent, Jen!
Stacey’s warm-up of death was fun stuff.
Couldn’t move the weight and can’t go over-head so I did 22 rds of squat cleans. 25kg!!
Kick ass tomorrow Fenway!!
4rds + clean Rx – that was heavy! Definitely need to work on my overhead strength.
Great job Shane!
so after my 75 kg debacle on Wednesday, I decided to go a bit lighter today.
10 rounds @ 50 kg
12 rounds @ 40 kg. Not entirely feeling it this morning.
15 rounds @ 50 kg. This was a good one. I knew I couldn’t do Rx, but almost wish I went a tiny bit heavier.
19 + 1 squat clean @ 30 kgs.. Good luck to all who are competing tomorrow you guys are LEGENDS!!
9 + 1 Rx
Almost lost a boob on a bad clean pull in the middle!
Getting low is key in this workout. Power clean + squat = bad; Squat clean = good; Shallow jerk + press = bad; agressive deep jerk = good I need to work on a more aggressive jerk. Too many press finishes!
5 rounds even, Rx.
that felt a lot heavier than I’d anticipated! also failed two jerks in a row, which did not help
13 RX (couldn’t lock the jerk twice on last two attempts to make 14)
