    I don't know how many of the followers on here also take a peek at the CFNE WOD posts, but if you don't there was a very impressive blog post written by Coach Cheryl on yesterday's WOD posting. Today was one of those days for me. Thanks for words Cheryl.

    http://crossfitnewengland.com/2014/01/28/wednesday-1-29-14/

    1.A. 185 lbs. OHS squat felt great. Push press not so much.
    1.B. 125 lbs. I really need a good Oly coach.
    1.C. 140 lbs. See above.
    2. No safety bar at our gym so I did 6x4 box squats. 155,205,225,245,265,285.
    3. 127 Rx. Front squats unbroken through the round of 15. Then, 6,6,6 on round of 18. Box jumps rebounded through round of 12. Then jump up/step down after.
    4. Got 35 in before I had to get to work. For some reason, I took forever today.

  14. Snowmageddon in Atlanta and work was closed again today, so I had all the time in the world (2 hours)

    Regionals:
    1A) 265 pp+OHS
    1B) 255 snatch balance
    1C) 185 h sq snatch (shoulders fried from lots of Crossover symmetry stuff yesterday)

    2) 315x4 across (someone got rid of our safety bar so this was just high bar. I also have an impinged facet in my lower back. Gotta take it easy til that gets better.)

    3) 136 reps (finished round 18+10 more squats)

    4) check

    ReplyDelete
  15. Regionals.

    1A) 185 for pp.
    1B) 185.
    1C). 165. This felt really good.

    Had to workout in my garage today and don't have a squat rack yet so had to clean everything and jerk it to my back. Still felt pretty good overall. Need to get some 2.5 and 5 pound plates so I don't have to jump from 165 to 185 to 205 for these wods.

    2) skipped

    3) 140reps as rx'd.

    4) done in 7.04 with rings instead of a bar.

    109 - very impressed with myself on this. FS went unbroken through 12, then 10/5 & 8/5/5. BJ's were slow but steady. There still my goat but I've been working hard on being light and rebounding quickly. Dividends are starting to show... much work left.

    Base gym started closing so Oly work will have to be done later.

  34. Took a while for my shoulder to warm up, so spent over hour doing snatch tech.
    1a. 225#
    1b. 195#, a few more weeks doing this and I think I can tack on some good weight.
    1c. 205#, so this is interesting. I struggle to snatch 190# (never hit over 195# SqSn) yet I can cleanly hit HH at 205# and feel like I have room to go higher. I'm guessing this means I need to stop full snatching and work on snatching from hang for a while?
    2. 275# HHBS, kept light and pretty at 70%
    3. 145 reps, all unbroken except one mis-jump in rnd of 9. I think there is some room to speed up BJs from the top. Felt steady on FSs.
    4. Done. First 25 strict, next 25 with blue band. Long-ass levers, lol.

    Todays Metcon
    144 Reps RX Legs were J-E-L-L-O (in my Bill Cosby voice)! Took bar from the ground instead of a rack. The pistols from Wednesday made this worse than it should have been on me. Feeling a lot better on box jumps compared to were I use to be with them mentally.

    Make up the rest on Saturday morning!!

  60. Open:

    1. Round of 15 + 12 squats - 102. lungs felt good, box jumps were mostly rebounding and unbroken, except for a couple misteps. Had hockey the night before so the front squats were a little tougher than usual.

    2. Worked on some technique. Snatch high pulls. Got some feed back and i've been pulling with my arms way too early.
