Have not been feeling well last couple of weeks…tired, no energy, insomnia and nausea…making for some discouraging sessions!

A. Practiced muscle ups, started off ok but went down hill quickly.
B. Worked up to 97kg on the back squat, but used the cheater belt. Last time tested without belt, was at 90kg, all time PR 100kg.
C. 2 rounds + 4 reps @135lbs – 2 reps more than last time and last time I only did 1 RC in round 1 (accidentally). Slogged through it.

Hey Sara, sorry for the late response! You want to lay on your back and hold a kb overhead (think TGU position), pull the shoulder blade back and down then hold!

Dude, we are all just older guys and girls who are quite good at PE. Unfortunately, we aren’t going to the Olympics, but we can get a little taste of high level sport in this CrossFit game. We are more serious than your average gym goer, but we are very unlikely to be full time professional athletes. The chances are that we all have full time jobs and families too. Shoot me down guys, but that’s how it is for most of us. I am still gooimg to try to be the best I can be, but I/we have other… Read more »

Couldn’t agree more Rob. This competitive exercising stuff scratches an itch for me….but it’s not priority number 1 because family and work take the cake. Fortunately I have a wife that loves exercising as much as I do and a job that allows be to get some training in so I am able to keep doing this and I love it. I’ll keep pushing and training hard as long as I can and will dable in the comps. I’m so happy to have found this programming and this community. A few years back I herniated a disk in my neck… Read more »

Keep the arm close to your tunk, flex the elbow at 90 degrees/parallel to the floor and external rotate away from the body while keeping it in contact with your trunk. Keep your shoulders healthy, Rotator cuffs
