“Isabel”
30 snatches for time 135/95
(squat or power snatches ok)

There are two shockingly fast “Isabel” videos up on CrossFit.com right now. Here is the male one and the female
one.

DROM:

Sampson lunge to
lizzard lunge to
pigeon position.
Repeat x 5 ea. side.

The very fast 10 seconds of rest in a Tabatta interval. Not much to think about except for the next interval coming up, Word Series, breakfast, etc.

Wow! That guy did it in 1:02!? Unbroken for like 25 reps…it’s all about the transition from overhead to the ground..I’m hoping for sub 3:00 min but we’ll see…

Just for giggles, I tried it just now with a PVC pipe…45-50 seconds.

maybe sub 4 min then…

That guy was just plain strong! I’m betting sub 3 for EW.

I’m glad it’s a rest day.

That guy’s from a couple towns over from where I went to High School. He’s a beast and one of the profiles in the Crossfit Program I constantly stare at. He squats 500 I think, and his WODs are fast, short or long.

X that last comment, I went to high school with the guy, graduated a year before me. Knew he looked familiar.

Hey Eric-

I saw your Isabel time on the board on Saturday, very impressive. Do you think you could do Grace faster than 2:09?

Thanks man, it was faster than I thought I could do…I feel like I maybe could have gone even faster as I had to do singles for the last 5.

I think so…C&J is an easier movement with the same weight, at least for me, I think I could do almost the whole thing unbroken….not sure though, need to give it a go!
