Overhead Squat x 5 reps @ 3211 (Bring grip in each set)
rest as needed

Two sets of:
Front squat x 5 reps @ 2010

C. Dottir- 8:27rx
Happy with the bar muscle ups here 8/4, 4/3/3, then 2/2/2. I thought I’d be a little faster on the bar.

D. Done with 5/7/7

Did Wednesday’s strict gymnastics emom with
4/2- 4/1- 3/2- 2/2-3/1- 4/1
I had to to move my hands in each set to do shoulders taps then back out. Is that okay? I’m pretty positive my hands are inside the standard box.

Need to harden up on that bar Kisha 🙂

Your hands should be in the same position as your handstand walk for shoulder taps. Its a skill transfer so we want to be focusing on the same positions.

AM. Assault Bike Conditioning Option 25-20-15 (obviously made a huge mistake the first round)-16-13-17-18-16-19-19-18-17 12 sets and also 13 extra calories. HAHA I did 4 rounds of 5BBJO+4MU… Then scaled back to 3+1 so I could bring the intensity back on the AB as that is more my weakness than BBJO and MU. Aside from the set of 13 cal, I am happy with being able to maintain this many calories on the minute. SAO. A. Done B. 53lb KB and two 53lb KBs for FS PM. Warmup done A. Up to 245 from the blocks, then 245-255 (failed the… Read more »

Did you lost track of your calories? You should have just went off a running total!

Another good days work. Those top end numbers are more important to PRs I’d rather see consistency at those 🙂

I always reset the bike! I was going to ask about that but… oh well 😛
I feel great floating around my PRs. I feel confident at 90-95% which feels great, so thanks Tino!

A. Built to 215 then 4/4 B. 3×8 at 225 just to get some light volume in. C. Scaled to #185, put a 7min time cap on it to push myself, got capped at 10 cleans. BMU: 6/6, 6/3 DL: 10/11 Cleans: 2/ then singles, bunch of misses Knew 185 would be tough for me on the cleans but it was light enough that I could pretty easily do the DLs and STO unbroken if I wanted to, so I didn’t want to go lower. D. Tweaked my lat on the last couple MU, no pain on the cleans so… Read more »

Worked a high hang clean and jerk up to 215lbs. Went 4/4 then immediately from the floor. Will go up if we do something similar next week.

Back Squat %s off 335lbs. Up to 320lbs.

Dottir: 6:49
Was a sweaty one here in minneapolis! Got challenging in the middle but finished strong. Missed one S2OH as it slipped off my chest despite wearing a shirt. Was hoping to be under 6:00. Not to shabby after not doing much training the last 2 weeks.

Accessory work mostly done.

Going from the blocks to the floor got you! Try to really focus on holding a good position on your first pull. Post some video to see if we can help.

I don’t have a video for you to see but I can tell you I did the clean without problem but never made it to do the jerk .. I guess and hope it was because my arms were sore from the wod I did on Wednesday
