Camp Debrief: Cheryl Xiang, Ethan Bruck, Sam Hagen & Brennan Schardt

Yeah, we're going to start going over camp workouts.

So session number one, we have two PRs in the room.

So it was a every two minutes and 30 seconds for eight sets with a minute 30 break.

So it's one minute you're working, a minute 30 you're breaking.

It was 0.2 miles for the guys, for the ladies, 0.16 miles on the echo bike.

And then it was one clean and jerk.

starting at 70% and going to a max.

It seemed like that one was pretty fun.

I'm kind of jealous I missed out on that.

It was a

good time.

It's always interesting because I feel like crossfitters actually, probably not for the better, but do better when there's some sort of thing that gets you warm and get your heart rate up.

So because of the bike, and it kind of shuts your brain off a little bit too, but because of the bike, I got off the bike, went into the clean and jerk, and that actually helped me a lot.

So a lot of fun.

One thing I noticed from watching people compete before, it seems like if there's not something that gets you semi-fatigued or it's not a certain time where there's an interval where you can hit a lift and you can't, it's like everyone just tries to lift as soon as they can, and you just blow yourself out so quick.

I feel like you go to any competition, Especially scaled, if you're not elite or not in the higher end of the competition, it's like people just will hit a lift every 30 seconds.

I

would go every three

minutes.

Yeah, like us, it's like, dude, you need recovery, but people just don't understand

that.

What do you guys feel like are the criteria that led to you being able to hit a PR at camp? Both of you hit PRs.

What are the factors?

Part of it was not been trying to do like heavy lifting for a while or like heavy singles in my like ollie lifts.

So that was a big part of it.
