C. Will do a conditioning WOD tonight…maybe!?
I’m almost always a day behind due to coaching youth basketball, so I’m doing this workout today.
If you don’t have MU’s for 14.4, would you sub: a) ring dips only, b) ring dips & pullups or CTB, or c) CTB only?
I’m a lurker, but I do enjoy reading everyone’s comments each day and they definitely give me motivation. Please keep them coming! Great programming Nicole. Thank you!
A – Footwork, drop to split 95#. Jerks all at 185#. Staying light because I’m still not aggressively punching up and getting head thru. Need technique work. B – 230-265-280-300-315-335(15# PR!)-295(4). Groin a little sore but held up. Woo hoo! 335 felt solid. First PR attempt in 8 months. Finally. C – Shoulders still sore from hanging. So I modified. 60 cal row, 70 V-ups (not sure why 70), 40 Wall balls. Just under 8:00. Then rest 5 minutes and did class wod: 10 min EMOM – Complex of 3 Power Cleans, 3 Front Squats, 3 Push Jerks @135#. Thought… Read more »
Congratulations Mike!!!! That is an incredible PR – 15 lbs is awesome!
A.2 /7580/85/90 kg
B 115/130/140/150/160/165 kg (fail)
C. Up 7 cleans.
DMA Done plus some YTWLs and shoulder stretches A. Footwork and drills done, then from 175 to 210 best jerks at 205# B. 255/270/285/300/310 (less than 95%) 5x 285 (did not go for a 1 RM 310 or maybe 5 or 10 beyond was 1 RM for the day) C. 11:25 through the cleans. Could not get to rings due to regular class. Did some strict pullups: 10 regular and 10 supinated. Way faster pace than 14.4 where I only mustered one MU. Today: row 2:50 (22 strokes/min), just under 6 mins though T2Bs, 8: through Wall balls, mini break,… Read more »
Mobility warmup
A1 footwork and drops done
A2 145, 155, 160, 165, 170×2, 175F, 175, 180, 185 (100%)
B just did 2 reps each @ 185, 225, 245, 275
C 172 reps. First time doing this. Row went well. T2B was too slow, did sets of 4, 3 and 2 towards the end. This is definitely where I lost time! WB in sets of 10. Cleans in singles. Good baseline for me to revisit.
Just want to make sure you guys realize you are doing the Open workouts on your 3rd day of training, after lifting! If you are remotely close to your score from last year then that is a big win. If you beat your score from last year that is HUGE! Be pumped that you can hit an Open workout on your 3rd day of training and crush your results from last year. 🙂
Or 5th day of training! 😉
Well aren’t we the overachiever? ;-p
Thanks Nicole. Very good point!
Thanks for mentioning that Nicole…that realization hit me after doing 15.3 last week…it’s a confidence booster for sure! AND not being afraid to hit the all the training on the day of an Open repeat is also a reminder of how valuable a good warm-up is.
Had a Pt session so squeezed in what I could:
Did jerk @135 (felt good)
B) 155/175/190/200/210/220/200 x 3
C) will possibly do tomorrow
Made up Open Wod today (thurs):
181 Rx. ( 1 rep PR)
Row 3:55/ ttb 7:37/ wb 10:08/cleans 13:48.
Did sets of 10 wb so that needs to be bigger sets for sure, all singles on cleans.. Need to cycle through those quicker!
Mob Done
A. 125-145
B. 225/255/275/285 Then 5 reps at 235. Body pretty tired today could not hit heavy %.
C. Got to 22 cleans. Felt off today, maybe rundown. Will look forward to a rest day and a great Friday!
A. Did split jerks and foot work then jerks: 145/145/150/155/155/160 (5) B. 155/175/190/200/210/220 (happy to get this!) then 200×1 (dead legs!) C. 185 Rx ; 2 more than last year and Oct 2015 Really happy with today; I woke up with vertigo and very nauseous, went to doctor and found I have an ear infection, took antibiotics and vertigo meds and decided to just go slow and by feel for the workout this evening and I think it really paid off as I rowed 30 seconds slower than past times I did 14.3 but did much better as I wasn’t… Read more »

A. Drop to split-95-155, jerks-185,195,205,210,215,220,225,225,205,205. No jerk blocks so I had to muscle everything back down, kept the weights lower but still felt good with achy shoulders
B. 245×6,280×4,300×2,320,335,345, completely missed the ME@90%
C. Made it to the MU with :40 to go but it was a no go on the MU anyway. T2b were extremely slow tonight. Not sure if I have ever done this before as I was recovering from a shoulder injury that year.

Thanks Al. But honestly, the only thing I’m good at here are the MU’s. It took me 12 min just to get to the rings. Fun workout though. You are still my hero!
