Day behind.
Yesterday: MU’s, squat cleans up to 150# and 30 cal row/75# thrusters.
Today: 6 sets mid-thigh snatches up 85#, 10-min 2 rounds of 20 box jumps/15 power cleans at 115#/10 push press at 95#. Extra: 6 sets 7 UB reps of T2B. Kipping is improving, but need more grip work.

Mobility done
A. Skipped
B. 145-155-165-175-185-195-205-215-225(m)-215-220# (On the miss I sort of put a hole in Andy’s wall…oops! We had to strip the bar to put it back up on the blocks and reload it, and somehow we didn’t get the 5# plates back on…so I initially thought I jerked 230# but realized it was only 220# after looking at the video…double bummer)!
C. Scaled some of the reps …didn’t want to make the knee or shoulder mad. Went 20 wbs and 3 mu. Last set went 20 wbs and 5 mu.
4:37, 4:35, 4:46

A. skipped- but warmed up for 40 min
B. jerks up to 275? some uncertainty here because Cheryl threw the barbell through Andy’s wall and then we stripped it to get it back on the blocks and there may have been some confusion on the reload. Regardless my jerks are getting better
C. I reduced the wall balls to 20 and only did the MUs on last round 3:29/3:29/ 4:16 unbroken Wall balls throughout which for me is HUGE!!!!

Yeah catching high will be a major tricep saver. The feet on box transition can be pretty difficult. Next time, film yourself doing some of the drills and upload them to our FB group so myself and Travis can take a look at your technique.

Thanks. I’ll do that. I’m terrible about filming, but I’ll just have to get over it, won’t I? 🙂

This program is doing a good job of humbling me. A. Couldn’t do the thigh taps so I just held the hand stand for 30 secs. Everything else completed.
B. Worked up to 185lb before mechanics deteriorated.
C. Subbed 600m run for row. Don’t have a rower. Subbed 5 x (2 x pull up, 2 x ring dips) for muscle up.
7:07, 6:38, 6:22. Somehow got more efficient each round.

Great progression for the wall thigh taps and great progression for the muscle-ups! You will be getting a lot of practice with skill transfer exercises for your muscle-up and handstands so you should see progression with those movements quickly!

Thanks, but not really haha. 1RM= 135kg (297lbs). However, my left shoulder has been dodgy for a while now, so yesterday was the first time I’ve been over 120kg for months. I think that I hit 130kg (285lbs) in the last Annual Online Invictus comp.

Thx!
Felt superstrong! After the first round, everything unbroken, I felt confident that I would manage it for two more rounds.
Loved this wod!
I’m super-pleased with holding more or less the same tempo through all three rounds.
Good work with the programming! ????????
