Day One:

Invictus Online Competition
Day 1 of 3 – 300 Points Available

Against a 25-Minute Running Clock: 

In 10 minutes or less, establish a 1-RM Ground to Overhead

At the 10:00 minute mark, perform the following. . .

For Time:
25 Thrusters (95/65lb.)
(9/6) Muscle-Ups
20 Thrusters
(6/4) Muscle-Ups
15 Thrusters
(3/2) Muscle-Ups

In remaining time establish a 1-RM Snatch

Rules and Standards:
Athletes may use only one barbell, and that barbell cannot be loaded when the clock starts. Athlete may warm-up prior to starting the 25-minute clock, but must break the barbell back down before commencing the event. Athletes will obviously want to establish their 1-RM ground to overhead with enough time remaining in the 10-minute period to breakdown their barbell to 95/65 lbs. As soon as the clock strikes 10:00, athlete begins the thrusters and muscle-ups. Males will use 95 lbs for their thrusters and perform 9, 6 and 3 muscle-ups. Females will use 65 lbs for their thrusters and perform 6, 4 and 2 muscle-ups. Upon completion of the thrusters and muscle-ups, athlete will use the remaining time to build to a 1-RM snatch. A very small, almost imperceptible press out will be accepted, but we expect this to be a snatch and not some awkward looking snatch-grip press from forehead to overhead. Watching videos of those only induces nausea. 

A)275
B)9:18(slightly embarrassed)
C)215

95 lb. thrusters shouldn’t difficult. They were. One word for that. P***Y. 

But really, It was a good first day. Missed both a 290 and a 280 Clean and Jerk and was happy I was able to rebound and come back to hit that 275. Also, super stoked that I was able to put up a 215 for my Snatch at the end. Big numbers, for the day at least.
