We were given the option of an interval workout or a lifting WOD. Since I missed First Friday, I went with the lifting. That in itself was not stupid, but lifting 80% of my bodyweight WAS stupid.
Here's what the WOD looked like:
For time:
Clean & Jerk Latter 10, 9, 8... 1
Chest to bar Pullup Latter 10, 9, 8... 1
Total: 43:49

I did rounds 10-4 with 104lbs. My max clean is about 122lb and my max jerk is around 115lb. It may have been smarter to have done the complete workout at 75% BW or maybe 70%. With the Hopper Challenge in my sights I wanted to push myself. By round 3 I was so smoked that I failed 3 attempts and dropped 20lbs to finish the workout. Rounds 3-1 were done at 84lbs. This workout was seriously humbling and left me with the nastiest bar hickey (it didn't help that I was wearing my necklace for the first half of the WOD.

Deadlift
3, 3, 3, 3, 3
Did 205 for 3 PR
1 rep, two times 215 (single rep max PR)
I was stuck at 190lbs for years with this list. Something has FINALLY clicked. I am pulling big lifts (for me) here. I couldn't be more happy, and I actually enjoy doing deadlift days now.
I think I really just liked lifting a bar with 4 big wheels on it!!! Bam!

15 weighted situps
15 pushups

Weighted Pullups
pulled body weight plus 30lbs.. I don't know what's happened on this moove for me. I have done a BW + 35lb pull. I havent' had it in me since then. I'd like to get a 40lb pull.

A, that CrossFit Hickie is legit, lady!
I call it my Crossfit barbell kiss. It flipping hurts, and it's looking nastier every day.
Hickie, Kiss, Tomato, Tomatoe...
"Hey... Nice Clavicle!"
yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sick of this ugly looking thing! It's terrible.
I now have a bar hickie from yesterday's clean madness. My wife is skeptical.
@Mark: well it couldn't have been Chad, he's outta town...!
The bar hickie madness is spreading. If I were a spouse I'd be VERY suspicious of all of these "barbell" accidents happening lately.
