Do you have athletes competing?!
There seems to be something going around I’ve been coughing for 3 weeks! Look after yourself!
I was supposed to have a girl competing… She had her flight and everything and something did not go through with her registration…so I am just here with the medical staff. Wish I was coaching too!
Damn that sucks! You’ll still have fun helping and watching!
So I was having nightmares about this workout… strict HSPUs in volume is so rough for me “2014 CrossFit Regionals Event #4”- I didn’t even want to know what the time cap was so I didn’t look it up. Couldn’t have done 1 HSPU strict in 2014 though…34:26. Not pretty but I finished it Complete rounds of 21( HSPUs 9:00- 4 failed reps, I think I came out to hot- finished round at 11:20), 15 (18:52-no failed reps but all singles and was conservative- 20:30 to end round), 9 (26:05- 2 failed reps, all singles- 27:00 to end round) ,… Read more »

B. Built to 245#
C. Done at 245

Session 2
A. Talk jerks 55/65/75/75 B. Pause jerks 145×2/165×2/185×2 C. Split jerk 185 Far from my best but the pause jerks were all stumbly at 185 so I didn’t go higher. Haven’t done jerks in a looong time. Conditioning 12:06 Ran to work and coached for an hour then came back for D. 1:59/2:07/2:09/2:15/2:31 All deadlifts were 5/4/3/3 Felt like I pushed to my abilities fairly well today. AB and DL are both weaknesses and front squats are slow as molasses cause my legs are weak so I went to my pace. I’ll try to still feel good about it when… Read more »
Great work today! Lots of positives to take away. Working those challenging movements and making great progress in them! Keep it up!
Session 1 Left my Airrosti appt (shoulder work) and went straight to the gym. Might have backfired a bit on the HSPU… Primary Conditioning 2014 Event 4 – 10:55 (my time in 2014 was 17:00 and pretty much knocked me out of contention for a top 3 spot…) Happy with that much improvement there. Played with my HSPU sets a little bit, just went until right before failure on each set, squats all UB and burpees were a crisp, steady pace. Strength D. bike/deadlifts – 2:21/2:35/2:33/2:40/2:28 (20:38 total time) – ahhhh deadlifts, it’s been a while and it showed! Sets… Read more »
Looks like you got just a little better since 2014! Great work!
I would recommend scheduling body work on your rest day. Think of it as a session. It takes quite a lot out of you.
I usually try to do that, they didn’t have an opening on Thursday, so I had to take it. Monday rest days will give me another scheduling day to work with!

Deadlift a big weakness for you Ben? Are you competing at Regionals.
Yea deadlifts are defo a weakness, no not at regionals this year. Max deadlift is only 165kg
We will get you stronger. Any reason why your following Regionals prep and not off season?
Sounds good to me!
My mistake! Looks like I loaded the wrong page. First time signing up for the athlete program and still learning the platform *facepalm*!
