Im ready to get after this again! did okay first round but I know I can make up time on deadlifts and box jumps. thanks

I think it's a good prep before the WOD itself.

ReplyDeleteDid 13.2 again to try and get 200 but had to crap after fifth round so DNF. Disappointed in that but just gotta take it as it is and get better

ReplyDelete2. 13.2 warmup
3. Run through rxd
4. Practiced different BJ techniques and finished with 2 full rounds
5. My goal tomorrow is 12 total
hit 13.2 again today after doing the general warmup listed - got an extra 14 reps. 7 rounds even, score of 210.
ReplyDeleteI'm 17 so it's hard to meet some of the awesome scores y'all are getting, but I ended up improving from 200 reps to 236 reps. Thanks for the tips Ben, those step ups really helped after I burnt out and the new bar set up was nice as well! Good luck tomorrow everybody!
ReplyDeleteNice work. Man I wish I was 17 again... Just know you are competing with a 36 year old.
DeleteThat makes me wonder - am I the town geezer here? Anyone older than me?

ReplyDeleteDue to travel tomorrow, did 13.2 today. Felt great, changed to step UPS after rd 3, 266. Content w an improvement from Thursday, but again, not what I wanted.

ReplyDelete2. Big Helen- 21:23 calves smoked from 13.2 yesterday!
Just repeated 13.2 so I can relax and party tonight and quit agonizing over it. And it is sheer agony! Ha!
ReplyDeleteHappy with an improved score of 227, 25 more reps than Thursday. Started doing step-up/jump downs halfway through the second round. Conditioning needs lots more work. The 5k trail race this morning didn't help my back and legs, but I was committed.
Thanks for all the tips and support from this site and coach Ben. Rock it tomorrow everyone!
Games programming a day behind. Doing met-cons first.
