Just got the new Nano 8’s! Good show, very comfy.

A: up to 110KG. Haven’t put more than 100KG above my head in a long time so I was stoked with this.

B: Grace Rx’d – 2:49
Best I’ve ever done was 2:07 about 4 years ago… haven’t gone sub 3 or probably even sub 4 since then. Feeling great and hitting PRs all over the place!

Thanks for the programming. This little kiwi appreciates it

A: 135, 155, 165, 175, 185, 185, 205, 215

Felt good. Need to focus on being explosive more. Definitely felt myself muscling the last two reps up.

B: 7:05. Tried chunking them out and got burnt out. First 10 were easy, then 2 sets of 5, then some gassed singles for the last 10. Y’all repping out 3 minute sets are straight monsters!

C: 40 tire flip jump throughs (220#) for time: 6:57

D: Tabata Row 8 minutes, rest 4 minutes, Tabata assault bike 8 minutes.

A. I didn’t go all out since I’m just getting used to C+J. I got up to 165 and called that a day. B. Rx 6:42. That’s a 14 sec pr. The only time I have done that workout was 5 months ago and I had a great plan to do it as a 4 rep EMOM. I executed that well, and did as well as I could have. This time the first 7 reps came to easily, and I pushed it to hard. I should have stopped at 5 and waited to push at the end. You live and… Read more »

Went up to 155 on A. The hardest part for me is bringing the bar down from overhead. I was worried about the disc so I called it at that weight.

Also had my 11 yo daughter so we didn’t do Grace.

Great job by you and your daughter! I’m guessing something is keeping you from dropping the weight from OH?

Well it was a crazy weekend and I didn’t getto work out either day and so I only got 4 days in last week, which always throws me into a mental battle. I’ve been getting 5-6 days a week for the last 16 years, even with 3 pregnancies (I obviously didn’t exercise right after birth, but definitely got back to it as soon as I was recovered enough.) All that to say, I wasn’t on my A game. I also really struggle with jerk. It feels so awkward to me. Video attached. A. 85, 95, 105, 115, 115, 115, I… Read more »

As for the Jerks, if I can spot it correctly you’re coming forward in your dip which causes some problems. Maybe try some drills with pause dip & jerks? Also thinking about punching up on the bar hard could probably help out a bit with your catch overhead. But I’m no expert, hope it helps!

A. Up to 195. Not used to doing the power jerk with heavy weight. Definitely something that I need to get better at.

B. Grace Rx’d 3:30. 7 sec PR! I was surprised. I did mostly singles except for the first 5 which I strung together.

B. Rx. 3:09
First time doing Grace. Done as all singles but man was I chasing the bar all over the place. Need to learn how to drop lol
C. Videoed my T2B for coach Michele
Fingers crossed that she can fix my T2Bs

A. 135-145-155-160-165-165-170-175 (5# PR for PJ) – 180-185 (failed these 2 PJ but 10# PR for PC) PJ form still not great due to poor thoracic mobility (push press PR still heavier at 185) B. Grace Rx: 7:45 (11s PR). Note to self: this weight is still too heavy for me to use for Grace and I’m missing the intent of the wod so next time it comes around, I need to check my ego at the door and do it with a lighter load C. EMOM x 5 min 3 push jerks with 95#, focus on dropping under and… Read more »

I was a little nervous about the bar coming any where near it…so I was catching the bar real awkwardly. B. Grace – RX 3:24 (6s PR) – hence the above statement…I think this could have been faster and way more efficient. C. 2nd grade homework time….who knew at 46 I’d be learning… Read more »

First time I ever Power Jerked that weight. Felt solid too!
B. Grace as RX 2:51
Hadn’t tested Grace in more than a year, this is a 1:17 PR. Held up a quick pace with singles all the way through, so next step is going for quick clustersets of 3-5.

Accessory
EMOM for 10min alternating between:
10 GHD-Situps
5 Strict HSPU’s with 3sec tempo on the negative

On towards gainz! Thanks for the solid programming Invictus Crew!

very proud of my second son (12years old and 82.5 bodyweight) with his 195 deadlift PR this weekend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsZc4ZL5JD4&feature=youtu.be

Sorry, as a proud father I had to share. He has a better deadlift than I do 🙂

Coming off a weekend of camping/adventuring and I knew I didn’t have a tough metcon in me today. Did part A and then just split Grace up into 6 sets of 5 reps to get some work in.

A.) Up to 130

B.) 6 x 5 ground to overhead at 110. 90 seconds rest between sets.
