A. Passed, did several BMU and foot tap drills helping someone the other day.
B. Done.
C. 3:30 up to 4:30 last round. KB swings at 28kg and cut reps to 20/15/10/0/0/20; these were stressing my back that is still a little tender and recovering.
Back is a little sore this morning so will go light the next couple days.

Did you do it this morning? If so, get on your back and elevate your knees! Get the back to calm down.

Mobility done.
A – BMU drills done. Then BMUs in sets of 4. Working on wrapping thumb around bar and getting better at rotating hands to press out. I normally use a suicide grip (bad habit).
B – 210/250/290/315/335.
C – Yowza. Thankfully I read the Russian comment. 3:20/3:30/3:42/3:39/3:40/3:46…however I took an extra minute before set 4 and set 6 because I thought I might barf. I survived.
My legs are going to welcome the day off tomorrow. I think I will treat them to some assault bike! Um, ok, let’s play that one by ear….

Mobility – done
A. Foot Taps, Jump to bar from squat, C2B Pull-ups, Butterfly Pull-ups (faster cycling) – done
B. Deadlift – 150/180/200/220/240
C. Rowing instead of running, 16kg instead of 24kg, American swings – wondered whether Russian would be acceptable. Read comments and know for future when to use them.
4:06 – 4:03 – 4:02 – 4:05 – (this is where I realized I had two sets left and not 1) – 4:11 – 4:28 Didn’t have any takers to do this workout with me! Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

Just thought I’d check in and let everyone know that I haven’t disappeared. I’m still working out with you, usually a day behind, and then being lazy about posting results. My apologies to all. I also have occasionally scaled reps/weight/sets to keep the shoulder from regressing. Once warmed up and on the floor, it feels very good.

Yesterday’s WOD:

Dead Stop FS 145-150-155#
Cleans 75 to 145#.

And then had to stop and leave. I’ll be doing today’s WOD tomorrow because of a meeting at my kid’s school. My best to everyone.

Been out for a week…tweaked something in my neck last Tuesday doing the dead stop front squats. I think it was caused by tension/stress from work – had a deadline and I carry my tension in my neck/shoulders. Anyway, massage by my wife every night (she’s great) and acupuncture a few times and its loosened up enough to get back at it. Mobility done A. Bar MU’s done – felt pretty solid. Was able to string 4 B. DL: 225/265/310/335/355 – felt good C. Felt great through 4 rounds…then it was a struggle! Finished the 5th and 6th rounds a… Read more »

So awesome that you are aware enough to know when you feel that stress and where you carry it. That is huge Joe. Be kind to yourself when you know you have extra external stress than normal and train accordingly.
