A. 8 strict HSPUs. Skipped Bar MUs.
B. Subbed Snatch Balance to 1/4 squat depth (mobility limitations). Worked up through 225# with good shoulder position, which is 94% of my 1-RM jerk.
C. 4+19. Used a 30# slam ball, which I quickly learned doesn’t rebound like a wall ball. First two rounds cycled the power snatch, then did quick singles from there. Not overly fast, but consistent.
D. Dips done, but skipped the rows.
Ohhhh that slam ball is way different then a wall ball – good on you for using it!
A)5 strict hspu/ 3bar mu

B. Ended up hopping in with class since it looked fun.
30 power snatch for time at 135#. Every time you drop the bar, run 400m. I did 20/10. Ran once. 4:23
C. 5 rounds + 12 wall ball. Been a while for the 30#….
Oh I like that, fun session Keith!
20/10? Wow good push!!! And nice score on part C too after that!
A) 6 strict HSPU per. 3 bar MU each round, still using the tiny band.
B) up to 105#
C) 4+17 cycling snatches always make me nauseated ?, then adding in 20# WB, bam! Good one!

Nice work on your snatch balances. What is your 1 rm snatch?
Thanks! 1rm is 240#
Nice work!! Would love to see you snatch balance 245 lbs!
I’m sick… again! Maybe that was part of the reason (besides the altitude) why the 18.1 redo attempt felt so horrible yesterday. Have a slightly elevated temp (99.8) and am just laying low. I just want to make it through an Open season without getting sick – just once! Aaaarrrggghhh!!
Oh no!! That is no good! Lots of tea, liquids and sleep!
Feel better! Get well soon!

Thanks so much. I can’t explain how much I’ve enjoyed Invictus programming, some days more than other haha
Mobility done
A. Done. Did single bar MU’s – first time doing them in a few months. Maybe next week I will see if I can string them with no pain, but happy to be able to do them again! Like riding a bike…

Awesome Doug! Somehow I must have contracted what you had!!
Sorry to hear that it’s just the wrong time to have it
A) done. Did BMU with Band. Not ready to do a huge kip yet
PT workout for today. Taking it easy on my back and making it a recovery day
A. 4 each minute and completed BMU as singles. Felt really heavy on both.
B. Up to 140. But that one was pretty wobbly. 135 felt good.
C. 4 + 22 Felt a bit sluggish today. 18.1 redo probably had something to do with it. My cal/hr were faster in all 20min yesterday than any of the rounds today.
D. Done 8/8
Mobility completed.
A1)x5sHSPU
A2)Completed UB. Need to start caring for my hands as they are becoming tender.

C)4+3 Heavy WB and cycling snatches are not my favorite.
D)Completed.
Nice job Dean and yes, care for those hands, especially if they are feeling tender!
Thank you! Yes, they need a little TLC after 18.1, Monday and today. You never know what bar/ring work might be in store in 18.2.
A1: 6 reps every minute (that’s quite the achievement for me with a 6’1 wingspan and over 180lbs of body weight)
A2: did 4 sets of 5-6
B- Hate hate hate these with a passion. With that said tried to keep it light to focus on the movement: 60-65-70-75-80kg
C- Really liked this one, gave me 18.1 flashbacks. Kept it paced out. 6 rounds plus 12 WB and 8 Snatches
D- did ring dips instead
Solid work on Part C! Nice job on your handstand push-ups!
