A. Complete – Liked the banded work B. 95, 115, 135, 135, 135, 135#x C. 5 x 5 x 155# D. 7:50. Came out toofast on the row (3:33, had planned on 3:45), then broke up the thrusters as I was kind gassed for a bit. Went something like 10/8/4/2/2/2/2 on the pull-ups. Waay under my PR of 6:35 (when I was probably at my best ever). But the comeback trail has to start somewhere, right 🙂 Chippers with light weight/high rep movements are a weakness right now, as are thrusters/wallballs (especially combined with rowing) and high rep pull-ups. Stayed… Read more »

Sorry guys, I am a little late to the game! I just flew in from Brazil this morning and am catching up on all the blog comments!

Looks like connecting chunks of pull ups when tired is something we can work on! We will keep that in mind when doing some of your skills gymnastics warm ups for sure!

Great work everyone!

Obviously I am not computer savy…am I missing the link to the masters work somewhere on the site? I am only able to find this page via the link posted at the end of the comp workout. As for today (assuming it’s a rest day) I am not seeing any work for 10/2. Help. ; )

Quick question about Jackie….
I’ve always done it w a 45# bar. Is 33 # RX for women?
Thanks!

Depends on the competition but it is prescribed for women to use a 33 lbs bar

Jackie: 8:58 didn’t stick to my plan for one sec. Broke on the thrusters at 20. Argh! PUs were a mini disaster.

Good lesson though…try to stick to the plan! 🙂 Remember, it doesn’t hurt much more to keep going than it does to rest for 5 seconds; there is no relief until you are done, so you might as well finish faster.

Staying light on squat movements because of recent quad injury. Did not feel any pain or tightness today but still being cautious. Not sure I could have gone much heavier anyway. Nice workout.

Keep us posted on your quad injury. Would like to make sure you are resting it adequately so that it can heal!
