A. 4:34 – RX. probably could have shaved a few more seconds off if I hadn’t done DU yesterday, Sunday and a max UB set on Sat. A little fatigued and tripped a lot more then normal. (Also peed, but you didn’t need to hear that. ?).
9/6 every round.
Last time was 5:19

B. SLDL – 55, 65, 65 – I had big plans to go a lot heavier, but my lower back sent u a shriek, so I kept it light.
Glute bridge. – 135, 155, 155
Planks ✅

Oh, based on the laugh I got from reading this, I think you did need to share that. The question is – did you stop the clock? If not you may have also gotten a new best time for going tinkle. That was fast.

Oh it’s worse then you think! I tinkled in my pants whilst doing DU. I usually don’t have an issue but everyone in awhile I pay the price for having 3 babies.

A: scaled to 205 and 100 SUs
11:20. I don’t remember doing this before. That was good for me considering the last time I did max reps at 205 I got 12.
9/6, 6/5/4, 5/5/5. I also did 100 SU unbroken for the first time.

B: Done with 95lb barbell. Grip was what got me at that tempo.

Of course none of that matters now that we have one of these.comment image

I think it’s something to do with how the site is setup. I don’t remember the pictures and links always being on the page. I have no problems when I use my ipad in landscape but when I turn it portrait, like my iPhone, it lags out and refreshes constantly.

A) 5:43 rx weight but had to do 100 su. Doubles aren’t game ready yet. Dead lifts were 5/5/5 until the last set 8/5/2. Didn’t have enough in the tank for 7
B) the empty barbell was a unique challenge. I had never done weighted flute bridges before did those at 135.

Libby said in her post that it shouldn’t be a workout that can be done unbroken. Should I have upped the weight?

A. RX – 4:13 (May – 5:06) 15 DL @ 155# DOG (9/6, 9/6, 6/5/4) 50 DU (UB, UB, 47/3) ***It was really tempting to just keep going after the first 9 DL in round 1, but I think by sticking to the plan of 9/6 I was able to drop the bar and pick it right back up to do the next 6 which helped maintain my breathing and focus. The 3rd round of DU the rope just stopped swinging after rep 47…but thankfully only had 3 reps to go. Transitions were fast…just a couple deep breaths to get… Read more »

A. 4:24 Rx, about 37s faster than last time, but my DLs still fell apart in final rd. Not sure what’s gone wrong but my DLs suck this year, and it used to be a strength.

B. Done w/ 135# BB. I need a pad or something to go heavier on glute bridges. It felt like I was pinching a nerve or vein?

C. X-over Symmetry

I ALWAYS use a pad between the bar and my hips! Sometimes I double it up if it’s heavier. I also use a pad behind my back, because I don’t like rubbing skin off my back.

Good morning, everybody…

A. 4:48 RX; goal was sub 4, but blew up early. went UB on both in rnd 1 and could tell my posterior chain was gone. held on from there. should have broken into 8/7 or even 5’s.
B. 50/8; 225/8; :45 each side; the SDLs were not easy after A. the glute bridges didn’t make things any better either, but glad these were mixed in. this is the heaviest I have ever done (previous mark was 135#).

I think I had the same issue with rd 1.. did it in 57s and then my deadlifts were dead ?. Great 1st attempt, i think this one is more about the approach than anything else. You’ll get sub 4 next time no doubt!
