It is unfortunately by choice. I make a majority of my income in this 8-10 week span! I sell my soul to my boss for doubles and triples all day! It allows me to train how I want to for the other portion of the year !

A. Stopped at 165#
B. Used a barbell with 175 on it and then attached KB (26#) on each side with bands.
C. 3+ Rounds

Rested with one hour of coach and painting for two hours inbetween and then did primary conditioning.

Chose to do the first wod and I lowered the reps a bit but overall I felt great and I’m feeling strong. Did kipping HSPU since I’ll be doing kipping at GG.

GG Workout – 6:08
4 rounds:
4 MU (ring)
8 SB cleans, 75#

So freakin stoked i used a 65# sandbag cause that’s all there was and it was long but that wasn’t the issue. Normally it’s my MU but didn’t feel too bad today!

12 minute AMRAP
5 rounds + 60 foot lunge
Used 185. It’s just easier to load those plates.

S2
Conditioning
29:38
Used 4″ deficit. Just a hard hard day for me with the hspu. I guess this was a hard combo for me but extremely frustrating.
GHDs 20-10 for all 3 rounds
Overhead Squats unbroken.

Accessory done.

I haven’t been following it recently. But when I did my strict max went from 11 to 16 reps.

Deficit in a conditioning piece with other shoulder intense stuff. I break down and start failing or gettin stick half way up and fall off.

I’ve still been working on them and putting extra time with them but I’m still struggling. Not sure why

Conditioning

All because of those HSPU. The last round of them took me 6:46 I don’t understand why I’m so bad at those!

Only did 5/10 sets of AB conditioning

Marathon sessions are not ideal ?

FS/Jerk: 285lbs successfully. Missed jerk on 295lbs, although it was more than high enough. Mental.

Yoke 385-385-405-405lbs

Currently working up motivation for the remainder.

Anyone else get a littl sick feeling after the yoke carries? I do every single time. Major shock to the system.

Lunge/PP: 3+30 feet.

This was not fun. Tried to keep it going on a steady, but not fast, pace… fell off after round 1.

Lunges all in 30ft increments.
PP was 6-6 in round 1, 4-4-4 for all the rest.

Was pleasantly surprised on being able to cycle that weight though even when wiped. I used to not be able to do that.
