Stoked I redid 16.4 today. Got 7 more reps to 184. Feeling much better after last nights bad showing. Came off rower earlier and with better breathing. Only thing that held me back is HSPUs went away towards the end.

Wanted to redo 16.4 but my shoulders and hamstrings told me otherwise. Plus I was not confident I could improve especially being out of town.

Hotel wod today instead: 2 mile run, 4 rounds for quality of: 7 DB rows/arm (35#), 7 seated DB press (30#), 5 strict C2B.

Did 16.4 – 197 reps. I re-did this one since I didn’t feel too taxed the first time and felt like I was just rowing on a river as slow as possible. 197 reps.

A. Supinated Pull-ups with 10# x 5 reps
B. Split Jerks @ 115#
C. Skipped.

16.4 redo. 197, +9 from Friday, 9:27 tiebreak, 5 seconds faster than Friday. Had a better plan for the HSPU, breaking them into smaller sets with short rest intervals.

Mobility – done A. Peek-a-boos – 5 sets of 5, SC2B PU’s – 4 sets of 5, Walk-ins – no partner to spot – 3 sets of 5 B. Split Jerk – 4 @ 75%, 4 @ 80% I would say 6/8 were 9 or better. C. DB Rows – 10 reps using 25lb. db Flyes – 20 reps using 10 lb. db. Decided to not re-do 16.4. Still had some soreness in quads until yesterday. Need to do 16.5 this coming Friday, so not sure it would be wise to re-do and expect another quality effort in just a… Read more »

Redid 16.4. 192 (+6 from first try on Friday). Tie break time was 9:30 (-30s). Went too conservative on HSPU sets (5,5,4,3,3,3,2,2) with no fails but too slow. Neck will still not be happy for a few days. I also wish HQ would get the memo and only program strict HSPUs for our health. That’s what we’re doing this for right? ?

Couldn’t do incline mobility, we don’t have an incline bench, just did bent overs.
The peek-a-boo swings were good for me. Since I haven’t gotten muscle-ups yet it gave me practice on the rings.
Split jerks just felt heavy today. 95# all the way through to concentrate on form.
Did our box’s wod:
10min AMRAP – 10 thrusters 65#/10 pull-ups. 6+15
Haven’t done rows in a long time, so happy to see these. Used 25#/30#

Third time was not a charm this week. Just wasn’t into it, but had to try. Every place counts considering I’ll only have one go at it next week due to a “recreational” trip to Prague. 212 is what I’ll settle with.

Did the jerks after. 105kg each set. I’d say about half were an 8 or so. No press outs. Just a little unbalanced. in the split today. Used metcons for the first two but the soles are to sticky for my liking for jerks. Switched to WLs and felt fine. Last couple sets felt the best.

In Anahiem for work and the family at the theme parks. (3 days of Disney is a workout all its own). Did 16.4 this morning. Got off the row at 7:49 and spent 5 minutes getting no repped on HSPU. Goodness. Went through CJ’s 3 judging adjustment suggestions and was looking for a fourth. 🙂 Admittedly I am usually set up off the wall for Kipping HSPU. This had me with my hands right up against the wall. So be it. I simply need to practice them that way. Final score 169. Feel good about everything before the HSPU.

Exactly. I dropped in to get judged and they were great to accommodate me. I tested the mark after measuring and was mindful to not point my toes. 1st 5 reps got no-repped and After coming down I was told to get closer to clear the mark. Felt like i was on the same page with the judge going in. Lesson learned.
