Minute 2: 45 Second Prone Plank Hold
Minute 3: 16 Tempo Mountain Climbers – hold each position for one second

Rest 2 minutes and repeat for a total of THREE sets.
Use a load for the thrusters and hang power cleans that you can perform with a maximum of one break for each movement on the first set. We are looking for each set to take between 4-5 minutes, so load accordingly. We want all athletes getting at least 2 minutes of rest so that they can produce high power output for the next set.
Be creative with objects. You can use a barbell, dumbbells, sandbags, a backpack, etc…for the thrusters and hang power cleans.

Woof last set SHSPU were slow
A Front squats from yesterday
145, 160, 160, 165, 170
B. That was probably the closest I’ve come to just throwing in the towel. First round was ok, SHSPU with a 1.5” mat, ring dips were a mix of strict and toe assist. First push up, I failed. Collapsed. It went down hill from there.
Had to do pike HSPU, and all jumping ring dips and bad push ups.
The scaps and shoulders tightened up and that was all she wrote.
Blah!
Well done for hanging on in there and getting it finished!!
I’ll say, I was pretty miserable doing this one too. I commend you for pushing through to the end, Janelle!

@Michele Vieux Vieux, I don’t have the mobility to do wall slides. How can I increase my range of motion. I can’t even get my wrists to the wall. 🙁
A. 215, 230, 245, 250, 260, 265, 275, 290
B. 15:22 mostly singles on the HSPUs
C. 50 cals on airdyne
50 alternating lunges (just trying to get a little blood flow into my legs)
You’ll hate this answer…more wall slides! Haha Seriously though, doing more is the prescription, the test and the cure. You can start by laying on the ground to do them for a little gravity assist. When you can’t get your wrists to the wall (in the bottom position) that tells us that your pecs are super tight! My favorite pec stretch is the Banded Scarecrow: https://www.crossfitinvictus.com/blog/upper-anterior-chain-opener-banded-scarecrow/ The “touchdown” position is for the pecs but the “handcuffs” will help as well. And…whenever you stretch one side (pecs=anterior) then you should strengthen the opposite side for support (snaps=posterior). What’s your favorite scap… Read more »
I need ideas for scap training! Any ideas why my pecs would be so tight? I don’t focus on chest exercises and almost never bench. It is because my scaps are weak? I remember doing crossover symmetry about 2 years ago and making progress but after 18 months off, I feel like my flexibility is worse now than it was when I started.
Lots of scap ideas coming your way! Check your email later today.
Sitting is the enemy of good posture. It causes tight pecs and weak scaps – the ultimate combo for poor posture and prone to injury.
