Redo 16.3 today got 106 after a 101 on Friday. I did the snatches 5/5 the whole way which made it way easier because I never red lined.

Redo on 16.3. Improved my MU and got 14 more reps to 64. Not a great score but huge for me. Paced it and was able to hit all my single MUs this time.

Skipped A and B.

D. 5:52 Row and GHDs cause my shoulder is messed up.

Thanks!! Instead of jumping into the bar arched I would jump up in hollow then go to arch. Made for a better whip of legs out front. Also, thinking about straight arms and fast turnover and feet down at the top. Even with my messed up shoulder it all came together. Couldn’t believe I hit them all…

Thanks Nichole! They got heavy! DidnÊ»t know the exact calculation on AirDyne cals vs Assault Bike Cals….just went with it! Do you know if thereÊ»s a difference….we have one of the newer models of AirDynes.

Oh I am so glad you got one! I am not sure, I believe the AirDyne racks up calories faster then the Assault Bike but I don’t know for sure, I haven’t used one of the new AirDynes.

16.3 redo… 107 reps. Snatches were much better today and …. Thanks Jenny K. for judging me and pacing me.
Nichole, I didn’t think I could do much better but I got 6 more reps 8+3! Super happy with that. Thanks for believing in me Nichole. 🙂
After that… we squatted!
135/145/164/175 Oh boy my legs were feeling it.
It was really awesome to meet and workout with another Invictus athlete!

Friday attempt at 16.3 got me 36 reps which was pretty much a mess! Didn’t really warm up bar mu’s and just totally crapped out. Looking back I should have used it as a skill day.
Yesterday got 63 reps. Bar mu’s felt better and I had more confidence.
Tried one more time today and feel behind pace.. needed a little more recovery. On the bright side snatches felt solid:)
C) 150/160/180/190
D) skip. I did a 5 rd cal row/thrusters every 3 mins.

** Great job everyone!! Scores look solid and a lot of big improvements!!

Redid 16.3 and got one more rep – 89. I followed my pacing well and improved my tie break by :18 (6:05 through 6 rounds) and I had time for all 3 BMUs in round 7 but my grip was gone and only got one, failed another. Happy to get that one extra rep though.

Also did back squats: 155/165/175/190# and then called it a day.

The 2nd time I went 5Ê»s on the snatches and one set even at 4/3/3. Kept my heart rate down and gave my grip a short break each time!!! Definitely thought it was the way to go for me…improved 9 reps! No failed attemps on bar mu and all of them unbroken!

March 15, 2016 12:12 pm

Nice! I did seem like even those who scored really high reps like yourself, worked with broken set on the snatches to save the grip a little break. Especially since a lot more grip was being taxed on the linked BMU’s. Congrats!!!

A. Mobility done. Did part E from Saturday’s workout as well.
B. Speed swings and Peek-A-Boos done
C. Back Squat – The way the first set and warm-up went I wasn’t sure I would be getting through these today. But sets got a little better each time. 130/140/160/170
D. Rowing and Wall Balls – done! Didn’t worry about doing it against the clock.

16.3 (50-54) 76 My first attempt. I’ve been struggling the past week with very sore triceps tendons so waited until this morning to give it a go. My training has been off all week trying not to do anything that aggravates my arms, which was just about everything. Fortunately I seem to have recovered today as the BMU did not cause any pain and the workout went pretty smooth; I would have liked a few more reps but don’t we all.

I could not get past round 5 on BMU. I spent 2 minutes looking at the bar and rushing attempts

I have been mobilizing today and I plan to go again before deadline.

I paced the snatches better and had no misses on bmu. Happy with this as I can only get better following this program.
