Hs walk 50’

9 min time cap

Score of 99 reps, made it through 9 of the heavy DL’s


Mountain biking 2.5 hours 



So...last year I did this one twice, first time made it through 12 heavy DL’s, second through 17.  Of course I wanted to do better and get a chance at walking.  I was pumped to kill myself to get there.  I was on the heavy DL bar at 7:10 which was even a tad faster than last years pace.  I did 3 reps and then fell to really tough singles.  I was grunting and trying to go as fast as possible but the weight was physically out-doing me.  The truth is, I just haven’t been dead lifting heavy habitually compared to last year and nothing I could do was gonna magically change that.  So, it’s all in all a win ;).  Explanation: I went a liiittle faster on the first 21-15-9 and I lifted a relatively heavier weight compared to my current max as many times as I possibly could in the allotted time.  I have zero doubt that I gave my all.  Stoked to be injury free.  We went mountain biking after which hopefully helped loosen things up.  Back is tight but okay.  I won’t be repeating this one, I know better than to believe I can make weight lighter in a couple days time.  Fun challenge though and motivating!  Thanks!

Workout:

Gymnastics class

Stressful day at work and took some effort in traffic to get to class but once again, so glad I'm doing this.  We workout on holding a static HS hold, taking a step, holding, taking a step...was so hard and great practice.  She also had us learning pirouettes which I've been so mystified by for a long time and with her instruction it was starting to make sense.  All good, thanks!

So pleased with setting a PR on the OHS.  The ski/jerk combo was tough but I love both those movements.  By the last series I could feel I had spent a lot of my intensity already so started light but then I felt great and was pleased with some solid form holding up on the last round with heavier weights.  I was starving and properly tired after this one.  Not too sore the next day.  Thanks!

Stoked at some strength returning in my dips.  The strict ring dips were harder this week because I did them on longer straps.  By the HS walking my shoulders were getting a little tired.  CTB deteriorated to quick singles by the third set.  Dreaming of having my muscle ups back!  I think I can do it!  Thanks!

Daily score: 9

Workout:

20.2

20 min amrap:

4 db thrusters 35's
6 ttb
24 du's

13 rounds +4 +6 +18

470 reps

(56 thrusters, 84 ttb, 330 du's)


My 'reach' goal was 15 rounds and my 'must get' was 11.  So I'll take almost 14.  More importantly I'm proud of my sustained effort and my attempt to speed up at the end (though not very effective).  I started splitting the ttb 3/3 from the beginning and that held up well the whole way.  I did probably the first 4-5 rounds unbroken on the du's and then 12/12.  Some of that was to not blow up breathing wise and some to prevent peeing!  I think the hardest part was just staying motivated to keep a strong pace for the whole 20 mins...it just felt like the thrusters kept coming.  Glad it's over.  Would not enjoy doing that one again for 'fun'.  Thanks!  And congrats on your own accomplishment, love reading your IG summary.

Stoked to have some strength creeping back in the front squat and ohs.  Figured out how to cycle wb’s fastest over the 3 rounds.  I still remember how you broke me of my wall ball fear when I came out to train.  Thank you again.  Feeling good!  Thanks!
