I was kinda sore and tight upper body (mostly lats)  going into this but felt good to do it, just planned to go lighter.  The only place  I fell apart were the chest to bar...I could hardly do one and eventually just did pull ups.  I have to say that reverse bear crawl was something else!  So deceivingly difficult!  I got some funny looks but I couldn't care less, I could tell it was an activity worth doing...so hard.  Thanks!

I didn't feel well yesterday so I rested and did this today...I think I can still fit all the workouts in this week so I didn't skip it.  It was a fun one...unexpectedly challenging things.  DLs were hard, I did split stance and elevated the back leg, wow do they burn in the hips/glutes.  Same for the single leg back extensions, but hami's.  The back extensions also make me nauseated!  I had to use the minute of rest just to try and not feel green.  The seated sumo good mornings were crazy!  Totally targeted my lateral glutes and hips...I swear I am already sore.  AD went fine.  Thanks!

Gave my all and fell off the rower after with my legs feeling huge and wobbly.  T2B probably took most of the time, I had to do singles after about 14 or so.  The row hurt but I had a lot of people cheering me on which kept me from dogging it ;).  Glad it's done and I made it through Rx!

I don't think it helped that my triceps were sore going in to this but I think the result would have been the same.  It was hard and heavy.  I did all the bar work unbroken other than the push jerks.  And the last set of push jerks was ugly and sloppy, I failed about 3 throughout the whole thing.  Everything else was just a grind.  So glad this one is done.  Thanks!

This was a satisfying/challenging workout.  'A' was nice start, good stretches.  B was tough on both the abs and shoulders.  I tried to keep the pull ups hollow body on the first emom, dips were easy.  CTB need some work, it was good to practice, I did a couple sets of 3 but mostly doubles and singles.  By the assault bike I was tired...I maybe could have made it through 250 but I had to run to work...Thanks!

This was a tough workout! 'A' went well.  B was quite challenging, I just barely made it to 20 seconds each time.   I started a little lighter on the power snatches because my right shoulder was feeling sore, but it held up just fine.  I improved some on the twists so added some weight.  They were cleaning the gym so I couldn't use the turf to push the prowler, had to take it outside on the uneven pavement.  What a difference!  That set of 10 pushes was like going to battle with the damn thing.  I actually was angry at it the whole time lol.  I saw a movie after this and it literally hurt to sit on my butt.  So thanks!

Squats went well.  Wod was fun...always a good time to get to go for a 1rm.  I nearly had 120 on the snatch...so close...I get under it just fine but can't seem to get it stable enough to stand it up.  I can also get under 155 on the clean but get stuck in the bottom...the 150 jerk was not hard.  Thanks!

Traps and neck muscles super sore today...
A series felt great.  I love the German hang stretch.  B is hard and I feel my abs shoulders working and lats sometimes nearly cramp at the insertion on the ribs.  It's satisfying though to feel how much stronger I have gotten on them though.  Push jerks had my arms burning at the end but yet still seemed light even though the last few reps felt wobbly...I focused mostly on form, TnG, and sticking the landing.   Rowing was surprisingly more painful of an exercise than it looks on paper.  At least I was consistent!  Thanks!

My body felt great going in to this workout but these were all very challenging for me.    I definitely felt the DL's right where the hami inserts below my butt and fought to keep good positions.  The hip extension holds we soooo hard and caused cramping in a variety of places...I made it to 20 seconds once on each side the other were closer to 15 and the best I could do.  DB snatch was fun.  The rotational twists were tough!  I did not look like the video, had to slow it down and kept sagging at the hips unintentionally.  The rest went fine...I'm sure I will feel my hami's tomorrow.  Thanks!

Squats felt good...130 x 5 FS was heavy but I was able to keep good form.  Today was skill day and I wanted to work on my kip/swing while some of the coaches were available to give tips.  The feedback I received was that I lose my hollow body, break at the hip, and on CTB I arch my upper back to push my chest to the bar.  I tried some swings and push backs with a pull to the hip but either I am not strong enough in the lats or just not coordinated enough to do that and keep a hollow body.  I just wanna throw my hips up.  I did some weighted strict muscle ups with the harness and worked up to a set of 3 with 15#'s.  Thanks!

Snatch pulls felt good today...I feel like I could get under that weight.  I attached some videos of the B series and E to be sure I'm doing what you intend.  The hip thrusts made my right hami feel like it wanted to cramp but it never did (thankfully).  The good  morning OH rotations were super hard for me!  It was hard not to round my back and after the first set I did feel my low back muscles lit up.  C and D went well.  E just felt weird and even though I was trying to throw it hard it never seem to hit the wall with much force!  Thanks!

Super happy to make some progress on my back squat.  Legs had no problem with it but my back did curve on the way up.  FS felt heavy after all the back squats.  I was happy to do a few sets of 20 du's in the wod and I am breathing better during them, which takes a lot of focus for me.  The front squats in the wod had my legs burning.  Writing this the next day and my legs are pretty sore.  Thanks!
