My legs are smoked even though I didn’t even work out yesterday trying to rest them. I had a Monster drink, which I’m pretty sure count as doping. I don’t regret it one bit.

A. New PR 125lb. I think I’ll probably break it next time. Really starting to get under the bar and working on my balance which I I’m pretty sure is my main limiting factor.

B. 11:36. 95lb snatch. Did all reps as squat snatches to work on form. Totally blew through the handstand push-ups like nothing. That’s got to be the Monster Energy Drink kicking in.

A. So worked from 55# – 100# – matched my previous PR. Tried 105, but it wasn’t there today.

B. I subbed Wall climbs 4-3-2.
75# Power Snatch.
It was either 5:15 or 6:15.

I was completely distracted by the games that someone turned on on their phone. So I promptly forgot my time.

Then I screwed around and worked on Butterfly Pull ups, did 10 strict pull ups and then I just randomly decided to try a bar muscle up and was shocked when I got it. Then I got 2 more. SUPER excited about that!

I’m scared of snatches! Shoulder feeling good (after several old dislocations) but afraid to push it with these solo in garage. So, did a quick benchmark and added DB snatches which I am comfortable with.

21, 15, 9
Strict pull ups
GHD sit-ups
DB snatches @35#
Air squats
T2B

Same here. No dislocations but I am an old man and some parts have more mileage.

I feel you Ryan. Started Crossfit in my garage this year on my 40th b-day in May. A few painful days but my shoulder is starting to feel stronger than it has in 25 years. Everyone warned me against CF given my history. One good thing about getting old, I’m way wiser and know when to say when. Most of the time. Ok, sometimes!

155 lb is good in my book. Full snatch at 116? Sounds rough to me. Kudos for not capping- no quit mentality!

I really wish I could do snatches today but I felt like I had to avoid any overhead movements to give some rest to my left shoulder.

A. Multiple sets of 3x snatch pull
10sec rest
5x tall box jump
2min rest

B. Multiple sets of 6x back squat (up to 290)
Rest = walk to bench and add weights
6x bench press (up to 235)
Rest = walk back to squat bar and add weights
(I did this for about 20min)

C. Abs exercises

Have a nice weekend everyone!

This was really frustrating. I should have checked my ego and not touched a bar but it’s been 5 days..
A. Snatches to 95- 100# had me letting out a yelp so I stopped plus I could hook grip

B. 12,9,6 snatches at 65#
4,3,2 wall walks
6 min
My hand is angry at me

A. After a 4×5 overhead squats (Up to 125) + high hang/hand warmup (10min EMOM, 2 reps), went up to 125 for 3 but failed 135 twice. Pull was not confident.

B. Switched HSPU for Pull ups (lack of time).
Snatches 95#. Didn’t get the exact time but under 8 min.

A. Warmed up with some AB, burgener, snatch balance and tall snatches then went up to 105# (tied PR) and 110 (ugly). Main issue is not punching under the bar fast enough. When the weight feels heavier I tend to bring it all up and not squat right away. I feel more stable than I used to, just need more practice I think. More volume of heavier OHS, tall snatches and snatch balances definitely will help when I get to them B. Decided to go with full snatches to get more volume of full snatches (85#) and scaled hspu to… Read more »

Previous 1RM is 125lbs
3 set light OHS

B. HSPU on a box

Keep pushing guys and gals!

A. Snatch every 90 seconds 55#, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85(ffffffffffffffffffff) 85# is my current 1RM but it wasn’t in the cards today B. Rounds 12, 9, 6 – 4:14 (all UB) Power Snatch at 65# SHSPU **Super mind over matter to go UB….but I just wanted to get it over with! I actually did a much better job on my pulls on B than I did on A. I’m tired out this week and I’m on vacation next week. Headed to the lake!! I will still be doing my “lake workouts” but I hope you all have a… Read more »
