It was ok. I’m not satisfied with my score though.
All Hang muscle snatch.
All DU UB… except last set (after round of 18)
I did 21 snatches in the round of 18 (brain fart. Even broke it up into 3 sets of 7 ?) and then after my 18 OHS my rope broke again so I had to improvise. I have been having trouble with my rogue speed rope lately.I’ll try again and will get to round of 24.

PM Session:

Six rounds for time of:
500/400 meter Row
15 Burpee Over the Erg
Every 6 minutes including 0 run 400 meters.

Time = 29:12
Rows were between 1:50 and 1:55
Probably could have been more aggressive with the burpees. Was too leisurely with them
Runs about 2:00 with transition time and all that

with my schedule these next couple months I’m going to have to train on Thursdays and rest Wednesdays and I might have to train on Sundays instead of Saturdays. I know its not ideal but it’s just when I can get into gym. Wednesdays training: A. strict press % off of 130# B. stayed lighter on the deadlifts for my back but overall felt good C. 5:57 bar mu each round went 4/3/3 D. 7:49 no deficit shspu and did them as 4/3/3 each round E. 3:49 ouch F. done gymnastics: Rmu: 4/3/4/4/5 strict pullups: 8/5/5/5/5 Today’s training: A. 225#… Read more »

Looks like training yesterday didn’t have an effect on today’s fun! Congrats on the dead stop PR!

Biggest piece of advice I can give you whether you have to adjust your schedule or not is to adjust based on feel day to day. Particularly as you’ve had a few injuries in recent times. Let’s keeo you healthy and hitting it hard!

C)7@155, 9@125, 11@95, 14@76, 17@65 This got really grippy towards the last 2 rounds! Went unbroken on du & T2b for sets 1-3, then I break on each for the last 2 sets.

A. Built to 235#
B. 155/185/205/215/225# (failed the jerk)
C. 2/5/10/10/12 reps Rx weights My grip got absolutely blown out on the heavy rope DUs by the second round and I only ended up getting 50/50/33/20/20 reps in on the rounds.
D. 25# KBs
Skipped C because I had to teach a class.

Rolled in with our booty class for some glute work.

Best piece of advice on the heavy rope is to choke up in the handle as much as possible. This will help reduce the weight and tension from holding the handle.
