A.
1-3:140
3-6:150
B. Skipped, going to keep squats to two days a week for right now.
C. Failed 10 reps in, 185 is around 92%, should have scaled but was feeling optimistic after hitting 175 for 20 in the middle of the workout last week. Receiving position is pretty much completely upright, so focusing on getting under the bar to any degree is a priority right now. Throwing a bar 6+ ft into the air only works for so long.
D. Done, this was fun.

AB conditioning and part E. tonight

I have video but would have to email them since I’m not on FB, and pretty sure that is an Athlete+ perk. I do work with our Oly coach here, the main issue is that 14 years of rugby combined with the aggressive strength programs that come with that left me with garbage knees and shoulders, since I switched to crossfit in august, I’ve done alot of mobility work and have improved a ton but as of right now lack of overhead range in my shoulders makes OHS torture, but 3 months ago couldn’t do them at all. It will… Read more »

SOunds like you’ve got you’ve gt things pretty dialed in and are making progress. We also have some great article on the blog. Use the search engine and type in key words like. “overhead mobility” etc… Here are some of my favorite thoracic exercises:

Primary:
Power snatch + Hang Snatch
185/195/200/205/205/205

Heavy Isabel:
6:50
Quads were a burning toward the end. But I kept pace pretty conservative. Think I could cut some time down on that for sure.

Back Squat:
235/275/325/365/385

Had time for the ab work.

Fun week! Thanks!

A. 1-3@ 160lbs, 4-6@ 175lbs B. 245×5, 285×5, 330×3, 375×2, 395×1+f just don’t have the high % lifts in me right now. C. 7:27, no misses. In the last 10-12 reps figured a better start position. Straight feet, spread the floor. Keeps way more tension in my glutes and legs and core in the whole lift. My biggest weakness in moderate weight lifting in metcons is feeling a bit like a noodle and this helped a ton. But made the legs burn more, in a good way for sure. D. 3-3.5” deficit for 8 reps each set. 45sec, 40-5sec, 30-15sec… Read more »

Good learning in todays barbell conditioning. You’re top end weights might not be consistent but your conditioning and gymnastics have been on point!

Thanks Tino, that’s definitely what’s more important for me. I’ll always hang around the top in events with heavy weights, but can slip WAY down on events with high volume gymnastics and aerobic stuff.

Started with some plyo work since I wanted to back squat first to keep all of the snatching together B) 215/255/285/325/345, felt much better today than these weights did last cycle A) 155/165 C) 8:58 – 10 seconds slower than last week at 192, but considering these were all squats I’m pretty happy. Came out a little hot in the first minute, so I’d like to try going every 15 seconds next time. D) Done, 8/45/8 each round E) Done SAO A) Missed the stiff leg part so just did regular sumos at 255, no weight for bridges B) Done,… Read more »
