One of the things I really dig about this program is how we’re set-up to learn on our own…sometimes the hard way. Like today for instance, during the metcon when I shrugged-off the first row as no big deal because of the short distance and went all out. Moved to my first box jump hardly breathing heavy and almost broke my face because, unbeknownst to me, after jumping my feet never left the floor! That first round was my slowest round but had my fastest row. Rounds 2-5 I throttled way back on the row and everything else got much… Read more »

Thanks Brandon. Being lower to the ground helps in the squat department.

I didn’t have much time at the gym today, so I did one round of “D” for warmup and hoped to get a few more rounds at the end.
A. Done
B. 135, 145, 165, 145, 165, 175
C. 65, 75, 85, 85, 85, 95, 95, 95, 100, 100
D. Only had time for 1 round, but I’d like to do this wod at some point. I need the prowler work.

What would a good sub for prowler push? Tire flips or maybe tire drags?

Moderately heavy walking overhead lunges maybe?

I have a decent weight tire that I can hook a rope to. I like the idea of having to get your center of gravity down to move something. It helps that I’m already closer to the ground.

If you have a helper band sprints would be good.

What is our percentage(s) on B & C?

For B. I ended up at 95% on my last one, which is a bit heavier than what we did last week. Maybe 75%(5), 80%(3), 85%(1), 80%(5), 85%(3), 90%+ (1) ?

For C. I just kept adding weight if it felt like my technique was good. If not, I kept the weight that was on there. I ended up at 91% on my last 2.
Does it sound like I know what I’m talking about?

I am sure CJ and Nichole are at SoCal regionals, but we did it on May 9th and May 16th. The C part was just Snatch on the 9th and C&J on 16th.

Front Squat
*Set 1 – 5 reps @ 70-75%
*Set 2 – 3 reps @ 75-80%
*Set 3 – 1 rep @ 80-85%
*Set 4 – 5 reps @ 75-80%
*Set 5 – 3 reps @ 80-85%
*Set 6 – 1 rep @ 85-90%

Snatch x 1 rep
Loading by Minute – 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 80%, 85%, 85%, 90%, 90%
