Hell yea that was. I actually employed @libbylandry:disqus tip from the “Christine” workout and tried to not smoke myself off the rower to keep the WB’s going, even then it was a mental battle rowing 2nd time.

Yesterday’s A. Bench (not RX…but the video helped and the shoulder felt good…win win 115# x 5, 125×3, 130×1, 120×3, 110×5/3, 105×5/3 ***something I realized….the set up they showed in the video…with the shoulder blades pinching, the pecs/lats tight…this is basically what I do with DL (except standing) and it really helps me focus on pushing the floor away instead of pulling the bar up.

The “break the bar” on the way down tip (external rotation) moves my elbows in the correct position (more directly under the bar I suppose) and made a significant difference for me

Convince yourself that there’s enough “rest” built in for another rep as you wait for the ball to come down and don’t hold your arms out waiting …

Yesterday’s workout.

Bench press based off of 235. That all felt good.

B. I made this into a partner Wod. I had a friend workout with me today. One person did a round and then rested.

My rounds were all between 2:00 and 2:30. They would have stretched out more without the rest.
Ring dips mostly 8/4. Last round were all 3
Push press. First three UB. Last 2 8/4
Burpees just kept moving.

I did the squat cycle yesterday.
Last heavy day before testing.
5 sets 2 fs 4 bs at 215
That felt easy after 235 on Monday.

185 felt pretty good. Tightened the belt and really focused on bracing. Didn’t want to push it though. Surprisingly I only felt a little tightness the first few reps of wall balls, but that’s it. I will definitely feel it in the morning… along with my quads!

Some weeks the programming is deviously created to inflict maximum devastation… this was one of those weeks. It doesn’t help that a large portion of us are “masters” age. Things just don’t get back to normal as quick as they used to!
