a. 18:14….was feeling pretty tired at this point. Assault bike may have been a little pathetic today. But I’ve been struggling with rhythm and consistency on chest to bar pull ups and I finally figured out what I’ve been doing wrong today! Went unbroken on all C2B sets and on thrusters.
Nice work on those CTB! If you have any further issues be sure to post some video and we can have Travis review it

Great push today Karla. Love the mental fortitude to push through the conditioning piece. That same mindset may come in handy in a few weeks 🙂

Hows your body feeling after the weekend?
Hey, progress!
Not too bad! Took yesterday totally off and got an antibiotic for this sinus infection, so today was much better 🙂
Sinus infection ?
Look after yourself. I think you may have a pretty big comp coming up.

Then went for my 3’s and I had nothing at those percentages. I dropped like a dead fly haha first two waves went well tho! And these are all based off of 320#.

Repeated the first set of percentages one more time.
Conditioning

My back is dead from Sunday.
Maybe I should invest in a belt for heavy deadlifts…
(I know… ?)
Casey! Thats an amateur mistake on the deadlifts! Lets be smart and make sure you have all the equipment you need.
The only time I’ve ever used a belt was for the deadlifts at regionals last year. I’ll get on it…

Nothing spectacular (good or bad) today. It was a productive training day, happy with it.
Nice work Connor, now you need to push the pace on the transitions and get this closer to 14 min 🙂
Haha you’re right, too much standing around. Wasn’t going to fail on any thrusters, should have picked it up sooner.
A. Every 90 seconds, for 9 minutes (6 sets): 1 Snatch Balance + 2 Overhead Squats 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 170,175 (then did 180, 185 for snatch balance) This wasn’t quite max loading but I needed this drill to work on dropping under heavier weight. I haven’t been able to snatch over 155 in a long time and having to drop under that weight needed to happen. B. Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets): Snatch from 2″ Below Knee + Snatch (pause 1 second at 2″ below the knee, then snatch, drop, reset and snatch from the… Read more »
I may have to do the conditioning at home today, due to some unforeseen schedule changes. What run distance can I sub for the assault bike?
I’m picking up an assault bike this weekend! Can’t believe I’m saving up and spending money on something that causes me so much pain 🙂
200 meter run!
You are going to have so much fun with the assault bike. There’s no escaping now.
I just know that we will become the very BEST of friends 😉
