Are the burpee box jump overs regional standards or can we jump up and jump down off the box?

Session 2: A) done B) 1:52- way too composed, didn’t push enough/ 1:35 better row pace, 1:30 pushed a bit more reckless but wanted to test it. 1:26, this was reckless, but held it together. All HS walking UB and took 1-2 breaths to compose off the rower and went. Working on a faster HS walk. C) 3:49- red lined on SHSPUs =(, Can only seem to get about 7 per minute and then I burn out. Doesn’t matter if I do 7 UB or break them up. grrr. 3:42, broke up SHSPS more, 4:13 failed too many times, 4:02… Read more »

Had to take recovery day yesterday (tuesday) as I had to drive for 9 hours. Session 1 A1) 75/75/80 (really tough) ? How wide should our hands be on this? A2)115/145/175/205 A3) 155, 175, 175- stayed here and focused on bent back leg and weight distribution to be on both feet, tend to want to put more on the front B) done at 160- seemed light today. Going off 215, pre-surgery PR. C) 125/145/150/155/160/165 for 2. Couldn’t quite get that third. D) 5:26. I feel like that should have been under 5 for me. First time I have jumped to… Read more »

Press in split: All at 85#.

Jump to Split: 1×135, 2×155, 1×175.

Split jerk: 205-225-235 missed the 3rd on the 235. All of these felt supremely awful and messy after the HS work at lunch.

PC/J: All at 215. These felt hard but way better than just jerks. Way more stable.

PP: 185-195-200-205 (missed the 3rd rep on the 205)

Deadlifts get surprisingly solid and easy. Can’t explain that. I was dreading this one. Still went pretty sluggish. Wiped.

6:52rx.

Finished with 3×60 seconds of flutter kicks. Can’t do L sit ones really yet.

I’m back after a few days off! Got a second opinion about my back and it turns out back isn’t fractured, I have really bad lumbar posture(I stick my booty out) so I’ll be working lighter numbers until I can perform all movements with correct posture and see if pain starts to go away. First session felt good on my back so hopefully it just gets better from here! Session 1 A. Behind neck 55/60/65# Jump to split 55/60/65/70 Split jerk 75/85/95 B. 75 C. 55/65/75/85 D. 7:56, did kb deadlifts @53 Session 2 A. Done B. The regular classes… Read more »

Running felt yucky, but I needed that. C. 2:39/2:37 – only did 2 sets because it was getting close to dinner time. Had to sub KB snatch, but did a squat snatch, just… Read more »

Press to receiving done
Jerks no blocks 🙁 205/225/245
Clean and jerks should have been at 240 but felt good so did 255
Push press: 185/205 and then stopped because reracking hurt
Deadlift/burpee: 5:59 absolutely hate 315 deads but went 15/5/5. Don’t remember last time we did this workout but it hurt a lot more than last time
