    2. Thanks guys, it was nice to just be able to pour it all out without getting hung up on a technique. It was a very calculated all out effort. I paid for it, tried to row and it was a no-go.

    b) turning left - 7.84 sec
    turning right - 8.31

    I feel like I need my feet/ankles taped for these like I did when I played football, the hard chops and cuts hurt the hell out of my left ankle/foot.

    3) 6+3 wb (my dubs suck, been working them forever and they just never get better, some days i'm ok, others I completely blow, very inconsistent, have tried a million different ropes, these just never seem to get better)

    1. decided it was best to avoid...

    2. 155 across. Switched back to High Bar on these, might be lighter weight, but it as WAY more awkward forcing flexing of muscles in ways that make it more challenging than Low Bar. Seems a better approach to the intended demand.

    3. 9 rnds + 14 WB. two stumbles in the DU's and one drop in the WB was enough that I couldn't catch Jeremy today. Still felt great.

    PM 1. 185, up from 175 last time, still room to go up more I think... not much though

    PM 2. Got through three of these in the 490's.....then called it.... Should NOT have attempted to do all of this in one session, legs were totally cooked.

    Would have liked to have gotten through the row, but today was still a great training day. Thanks Coach!

    1. Ha ha, feel you on the one session bit. This was a double for a reason. Nice work.

    2. ...went back and got the row in:

      472
      472
      478

      wish I had gotten that extra meter on round 4, then all would be above 470....did what I could, and it was a lot better as a different session.

  15. Reg:

    So...... I'm fairly confident I tore my rotator cuff yesterday bringing down the first jerk from overhead. Still waiting on the results from the x ray. I'll keep everyone informed when I get the results. That being said, I still worked out this morning and I plan on staying with it, just demobilizing my left arm.

    Good mornings: did high bar so it wouldn't wrench my shoulder. Did 155 across.

    For my metcon I did AMRAP 10 of 100 m run and 7 30" box jumps. Got 9 rounds and the run plus 4 BJ.

    Opted out of the row so I messed around with single arm KB lifts (snatch, clean, Russian swings).

    It's going to be rough not working my strengths (low bar squats, Oly lifts, anything overhead) but it will be good to really hammer on my weaknesses.

    1. Sorry to hear--I've been dealing with some major tendonitis in my left shoulder and didn't go over head, do pullups etc. for the last month. I worked on weaknesses and my engine. Still did metcons--just subbed other movements for things overhead. Hope the xray news is positive for you.

      Delete
  16. 1. Started with squat therapy and squatting, band face-pull+press
    2. Metcon: Rx'd, 14 rounds + 12 wallballs. I love this combo--right in my wheelhouse. Wallballs unbroken, tripped up on only one round of DUs. My goal going in was 15 full rounds, so a little disappointed, but something to push me next time this comes up.

    Finished with a few C2B pullups--trying to get them back after letting shoulder issue recover for the last month. Just started going overhead, doing pullups again last week.

    BP 38/5'11"/195 (give or take a few slices of pumpkin bread)

    1. That's an insane score.... I need to take notes.... I know my DU's could be faster...but man that is awesome, obviously your rest month for overhead didn't slow you down.

    2. Thanks Shane--I've worked hard at wallballs. My first intro to CrossFit 5 or so years ago was at a globo--I saw a trainer doing wallballs, and asked if I could try them--I could do only 10 and was out of breath, with my hands on my knees. I was hooked. Did CrossFit on my own for 3 years at the globo; started at a box two years ago. Have spent every day since fixing crappy movement patterns--i.e. squats to depth (particularly on wallballs :) ), pullups with my frozen, meathook arms fully extended at the bottom. For this metcon, I drove that ball up with enough force that it's not just kissing above the target line--it's got some good velocity coming back down at me so I can cycle the next rep. DUs were fast--and unbroken except one round; before transitioning back to WBs, I took a second or so to make sure the rope was laid out for the next round so it wasn't all tangled when I came back to it. I also double knotted my shoes--because when we did the 5 min WB/DU AMRAMP on 9/12, my shoes came untied and caused me to miss my goal of 8 rounds. Didn't want that to happen again.

      Appreciate seeing everyone's hard work here--yours, Jermey, Stas, Bussom, and other regional & Games competitors when they post--not that I'm comparing, but constant reminders not to put limits on what is "humanly possible".

    3. Dude you must have been flying!! awesome work man, really impressive!

      Delete
    4. Compared my time/rep on the 6 min AMRAMP on 9/12 (20WB/40DU)--both my shoes came untied on that one, and ended up with 367 total reps for .98 sec/rep avg.; today was a bit faster, 642 total reps for .93 sec/rep avg. Shoes stayed tied. Today finished round 8 at the 5 min mark, thought at the time 15 rounds was still reachable, but obviously slowed a bit...

      Delete
    5. Umm.. I don't know how you make the ball come down faster unless you are defying physics.. Or you're bouncing the ball off a ceiling..

    2. Did you run that in cleats or was that on the gym floor? We did it outside and I think if I had cleats (although I haven't worn a pair in about 8 years) it would have been a lot faster.

    3. Holy smokes Dex, that is incredible on the WOD....20lb got plenty heavy and I just barely got a few more reps than you with it. Your rows are legit too, you gotta be what like 6'4"?

  30. 1.
    A. stayed between 35-36.5 ft
    B. used the gym timer, so unofficially 8 sec - stayed there for each attempt, though it's not exact

    2. 6x3 Good Mornings - 125, 135, 140, 140, 145, 150

    3. Metcon 8 rnds + 1

    (one session)
    1. 20 Rep Front Squat last time I did this at 135 no prob, so I tried 140 but was fatigued and only hit 13. So rested a bit and hit 135.

    4. Row - these totally killed me. My fastest was 423, then I completely fell off. my slowest was 387

    I've been frustrated the past couple of weeks - sometimes I feel like my numbers are decent, but other days I'm just so off the mark.

    1. Dont worry about it. The worst thing that can happen is to get caught in a mental trap and be down on yourself, it can spill over to the next training day. Just Stay positive! Try not to focus on what you did wrong during your cool down but what you did right. Keep working hard! Best of luck!!

    2. Thanks - you're definitely right, the head up approach is always the best. I think it's time for a re-reading of the "think like a bumblebee" article ;)
