Done Thursday.
A – 8 kipping EMOM. Played around with different leg positions (frog versus legs together) to see if there is any advantage.
B – Deadlift 295#.
C1 – 3 rds +2 reps @115#. Just nothing fast or efficient about this one.
C2 – 1:35, 1:36, 1:35, 1:33. All variances were basically in the row time.
Ran out of time. Might do some optional stuff tomorrow.

A. 6×8 Kipping feels strange since I’ve done mostly strict since May
B. 200#
C. 2 rounds at 95#
1:47, 1:45, 1:50, 1:47

I planned to do 105# but as I warmed up my snatch I failed at my first few attempts at 105#. I was able to do 6 reps after some adjustments but decided to scale the workout to 95#. The c2b really slowed me down today–my pulling strength felt weak. The rowing and wall balls felt great, though.

Instead of sand bag did 3 min on Schwinn for 53 Cals

Thanks Nichole, the best part for me was no box on the wall balls. Knee feels good.

Thanks Nichole. No UB the last round. Hello 30# rock for a while. I clearly need more work in these 1-2 min intervals.

Mobility – done
A. Went with a 2″riser rather than 4″ (8 reps each round)
B. Deadlift – @ 225#
C1. 2 rounds + 10 (46 reps) Missed first snatch, but after that no misses. Went directly from 3rd snatch into OHS to save time.
C2. 1:50 – 1:52 – 1:52 – 1:54 Worked on getting off rower quickly.
No time for Optional Session today, but feel good about today’s workout.

Were the snatches to be squat snatches? I just assumed they should be.

If they don’t say squat snatches then it is your choice!

Deads at 300 clean grip Left shoulder is really unstable, triceps are wicked sore, had trouble with stability on this wod so I dialed it back, was able to TNG snatch no problem, ohs felt heavy, c2b were a total yard sale.
