Hi,

Warm-up completed
For invictus.baseline
I subbed. Knees 2 elbows instead of T2B.
And kb taters @ 12kg instead if wall balls.
Could.only manage 4 rounds total.
Dont know cause after my 4th night shift but totally gassed.
Baseline:
2:56, 2:25, 3:00, 3:00, 3:14, 3:37
Baseline test
Last time: 2:37, 3:37, 3:47, 3:30, 3:40, 3:36
Today: 2:20, 2:39, 3:27, 3:30, 3:46, 4:13
Overall 52 seconds faster. It felt better, but this is always a killer for me.
No way that I can do 50 pull ups. So I go to lat machine…I can do 4-5 pull ups, and other 5 on lat machine.
Anika & Luke
Did Saturday’s partner WOD:
In teams of two, complete the following partitioning the reps as you see fit:
1600 meter med ball relay run
50 strict pull-ups
100 kettlebell swings 24kg/16kg
100 burpee box jump-overs 24”/20”
100 kettlebell swings
50 strict pull-ups
1600 med ball relay run
40:08
Wanted to appreciate the games more so I did the “first cut” at the women’s weight.
4rds
400m run
3 legless rope climbs
7 squat snatch 130#
-20 min cap
Capped at 2 rds. I failed so many snatches. I can power about 120- 125 so it’s more technique. And I needed to slow down between reps
I genuinely hate this WOD. It hits all my weaknesses and makes me feel like crap. (Plus why is it baseline when there are no legs, just shoulders and lats!?!) BUT I did it anyway. I am still at home with sick kids and have an 8’ ceiling and 10# ball so subbed wall ball with DB thrusters with 10# DB’s 2:52 2:59 3:08 3:07 3:13 – kipped a few pull ups in this set 3:25 – kipped half the pull ups Wheels came off after round 4. TTB were crap. Push ups were sad and wanted to stop. Made… Read more »
Don’t beat yourself up! I’m sure you gave it a great effort. You work hard week in and week out, and go far beyond what most people are capable of. I took a rest day today, but I’ll be in for it tomorrow!
Woof. My fat ass…what I would give to run it back to Fall 2014 / Early 2015 or find an old score on this from then…
Thin green band for strict pull ups. Rest Rx.
1) 2:22
2) 2:43

Love to see this! Mini me has a head start on us all!
A. Squats (4 sets) rest 2 min at #135
-2 front squats
-4 back squats
B: Gym only has a #14lb ball
Round 1: 2:40
Round 2: 2:30
Round 3: 2:36
Round 4: 2:33
Round 5: 2:50
Didn’t do round 6 (hip)
Yikes. My forearms were completely gone by the start of round 2. If this was a mental test, I failed spectacularly!
Ended mid-way through round 2. Perhaps it was a weekend of poor eating? Not sure, but I felt pretty down after failing this.
Attempted to salvage the day and perform a 20 minute AMRAP of 5 pull-ups, 10 toes to bar, 15 push-ups, and 20 air squats, but quit after 2 rounds there as well.
Just wasn’t feeling it today. Anyone else suffer these days as well?
Metabolic conditioning is tough after a weekend of poor eating. Almost like your cells are a stick in the mud and can’t shake it off. It happens totally normal with not so decent nutrition
Totally agree.
Feel so disappointed. I failed in 5 rounds out of the 6. Pull-ups and TTB were a killer for me. I feel I am not advancing one single bit since very long time. Quite confused as to what I can do?! 🙁
Hi! Shoot me an email so we can discuss. Michele@crossfitinvictus.com
Sent you an email yesterday. Thanks.
I feel ya! My pull ups died after 4 rounds and had to mix in some kipping. Also TTB just completely left. Yick!
Just keep trying and working hard.
A. Invictus interval test
10 Strict pull ups
15 T2B
20 push ups
25 wall ball #20 (only have 9ft space on wall)
1:54/1:52/2:02/1:53/1:51/2:07
Started first couple rounds only breaking on T2B. Then broke pull ups into 5s so save my hands for T2B which definitely helped.
B. Stamina squats #250 12m EMOM
2 front
4 back
Doing the stamina squats at that weight after the baseline test = serious fitness!
Thanks, but to be fair the interval test has always been kind of a wheelhouse WOD for me.
So fast. I shake my head and go back to my corner to think about my life choices. ?
Thanks. I’m still trying to enjoy my last week kid free. I’m not ready for training with a newborn.
Did 4 rounds
3:46,
4:10,
4:06,
4:12 (situps instead of T2B on this round only)
Started out with very small sets and thought I’d be able to consistently get faster. Boy was I wrong! This was a lot harder than it looked! That extra foot on the wallballs is a game-changer as well!
Great effort, Livy!
This was really though. Felt the same last time. I honestly had to rest one round. Did the team workout yesterday that I still felt in the body 🙂
That extra rest day between the team workout and this was intended :). Don’t worry! You’ll get to attack this again in a few months! Yay!
