Invictus Strength session this morning, then yesterday’s B tonight:

30s max effort / 30s rest
Cal row: 14-12-11-11-12
DU: 53-51-51-51-50 (no misses)
Cal AB: 12-9-9-9-10

That was lovely and brutal. Started getting a cramp in the final round and was glad to see the end of the tunnel.
Another strength session tomorrow am. I’ve already met my goal of 3 metcons this week, I’ll see what I have left in the tank tomorrow afternoon… maybe 18.0???
Have a great weekend everyone!

Very well thank you! Still a bit early to tell what effects it will have on me but I can say I’m enjoying the process for sure. I like the structure and I’m confident it will bring results. Each session usually takes me approx. between 1:30-1:45, 5 of those a week and 2 full days of complete rest. I’m also learning from it and the video feedback from my coach helps a ton. My worry going in was being able to fit in metcons as well, because of the high volume it is preferred to do that in a separate… Read more »

Evening session:

A) S3L1 of the gymnastics program. Lots of handstand work, also ring dip progressions and push work.

I decided against doing extra strength work after all the volume I did this morning.

Happy weekend team

A. Deadlifts up to 345 which is a 10 lb pr! I failed the first attempt at that weight, but made the lift pretty smoothly on the 2nd attempt.
Great job to everyone who was over 400# or lifting crazy bw %! That’s inspiring to me. Plus once I get to 395#, I can buy more weights.

B. 5 rounds 8 reps. I lost out on a few box jumps while I was zipping up winter coats so the kids could go play in the snow.

Everyday is a new day…you showed up…you put in the work and by you saying “could only” is only giving yourself a negative affect. Own it..be positive about all of your work…you’ll see a difference!!

Will save this one for Sunday, looking forward to deadlifts but my hips and Hammies are tight after soccer last night.

Today was shoulders bi’s and tri’s, a la Tony Horton. I have to be careful not to get addicted to the pump again 😉 (yes Teddy, all reps done in front of a mirror)
