PM Session:
Nursing a bad shoulder so I’ve been avoiding overhead movements for about a week now

Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets): Front Squat
*Sets 1-2 = 3 reps @ 215 (70%)
*Sets 3-4 = 3 reps @ 235, 245 (77%, 80%)
*Sets 5-6 = 3 reps @ 255, 265 (84%, 87%)

Class was doing a 5 minute WOD so I just did 10 rounds of Tabata GHD sit-ups and called it a day. Was able to hit 9 reps each interval for a total of 90 reps.

Hope your shoulder gets better soon and you have a rehab protocol dialed in to make sure you come back stronger than before!

Be smart with your workouts. Tabata GHD’s sounds like rhabdo waiting to happen.

Thanks. Right now based on the chiropracter’s advice I am avoiding overhead movements and doing some crossover symmetry. Fingers crossed that does the trick

Listen to your body!!!! No wonder everything felt off. Please adjust based on feel and take extra rest if you need it. I guarantee everything was off because you felt sore. You don’t want to instil bad movement patterns!

Still sick from Saturday so I did what I could.

Hit 10/10 Snatches at %’s!
Squated 20lbs under last PR.
I could only do 2rnds of conditioning. I was gassed from the snatches and Fr sqts by then and didn’t need to push my self to hard. Finished those 2 rounds in 10:33.
Hope to be 100% by Wednesday.

Looks like you need to be keeping that bar back a little more and not let it pull you forward. Still pretty damn consistent at 88-90%. Nice Work!

Emom was about 80-91%. I think I’m a bit toes-y coming back from some shoulder issues after my last event at the end of July. Last couple sessions have been feeling good though! It was bugging me to the point that one workout a few weeks ago with OHS I had to do FS instead at 115lbs. Definitely on the mend.

Ps: All the damn thrusters!! 100 on Saturday and another 60 today…
