Late lost again
Did only part of the workout today, short on time. Stayed super light for the snatch as I had physio after.
Is there a video for the partner assisted hamstring curl please?

Nice to do them. One of the reasons I left my old program is that I didn’t get to do them or muscle ups or handstand push ups. Sorry shouldn’t look back hey just forward.

DMA done. A. Did 17.4 yesterday and are experiencing some flu symptoms, so was using today as a recovery/skill day. Did some Snatch Balances, but changed to Drop Snatches. With the Snatch Balances I’m still pushing the bar up (too high) and then only do I ride it down into a full depth squat. I can’t seem to just catch it in a full depth squat?! With the Drop Snatch I decided to focus on having VERY little or NO upwards movement on the bar before I push myself down. Was using less weight, but felt faster, which is what… Read more »

Had surgery on 2 years ago and it is never going to be the same again.( labrum tear and mircro-fracture surgery on glenoid joint and humeral head). I have learned when to just cut back on it. It had taken a beating from all the hanging and pulls and sand bag work for OCR training It hurts at the bottom of a pull up. I was able to string together a few c2b today pain free which is good. I have got a pretty good idea of how it works and when to not push it. I am using the… Read more »

I will note energy levels for sure. I switched for two reasons…I run a landscaping company and by the end of the day, I am wiped out, and it is hard to get a workout in with any enthusiasm. 2nd…the evening classes at our box are so busy, it is hard to get a un-interrupted workout of my own in without delays and distractions of Kids CrossFit, and other classes of 25+ going on in the same area. Hopefully this will be a cool solution if I can get my diet and rest in line with the new time slot
