B. 2:38 (155), 1:43 (135), 1:22 (115)
C. 241 – was dead, took a 6 minute break from B, probably should have taken at least 10 minutes. I also only did WB in sets of ten, won’t do that again if I see this work out again. I wasn’t doing Crossfit when 12.4 or when it was repeated in 13, but couldn’t do MU at the time.
D. Firts time I have been able to do supinated C2B!!!! used 30lb DB on others.

A – 230-275-315-335-355-380. Very pleased as heavy deadlifts scare me. That 380 felt solid. B – Dear Barbell, why do you hate me so much? 1:48 @175 (last few powercleans were fugly), 1:20 @155 1:04 @135. This wore me out. Took 60-90 between sets. C – I started CF in 2014 so I never did 12.4 nor had I ever done Karen. I had no clue how to break this up so I ask one of our coaches that I train with for advice. He says “start with one big set of wallballs”. That is the last time I ask… Read more »

Mobility – done
A. 150/180/205/220/235/245
B. Missed workouts earlier in the week due to travel; didn’t get a chance to snatch. Decided to drop the weights and work on snatching. 10 @ 75, 10 @ 95, and 5 @ 115
C. Finished Karen in 7:59; did two sets of 45 DU’s and then had time to do 6 MU’s – all singles. Nice to be able to do these workouts with Ed Rapoza from Pohaku CF.
D. 10 reps using 25DB’s, 5/7/5 strict C2B’s (felt good today on these!), 6 reps using 25DB’s

Mob done
A. 205-240-275-295-315-335# (every set unbroken…last set was easiest)
B. Skipped, with 150 wallballs decided to give my knee a break and skip this part.
C. 257 reps. Finished wallballs at 6:12 and DUs at 7:39. (WBs went 40-65-80-95-105-116-125-135-142-150, DUs had 1 miss at 18 and then quick rest at 60; MUs went 4/4/3/2/2/1/1….need to still get stronger pressing out on those or be able to catch higher…one or the other to get more reps in).
D. Done. 35# DBS on bench and 30# DBS on Z press.

Hi Nichole! I woke up with knee feeling pretty good today…other than a couple mile run, I did rest both Wednesday and Thursday. Plus, about 7-10 days ago I started taking twice a day the Hammer Tissue Rejuvenator supplement, IÊ»ve taken it before but had run out and hadnÊ»t had it in quite a while…perhaps it is really helping. Knee started to bother me a little bit on the 155# power cleans today but got through it ok and now, just a few hours after training, still feeling fine! I just need to keep it in check, otherwise when it… Read more »

M&A done A. 225,265,315,335,350,370 B. 2:57,1:48,1:06-all power clean and push jerk, this felt painfully slow C. So I thought the proper modification to this one was 150 thrusters @65#-either that’s a little off or I’m really out of shape, I barely finished the thrusters in time to walk to the other room and squeak out 22 dubs…..so my clock reset and I decided to rest 3:00 and do 150 dubs for time-3:28. By far not my best performance. I plan not to miss any optional conditioning session from here on out. Hopefully just typing that in here will instill enough… Read more »

A. 255, 295, 345, 360, 385, 405 the second rep just didn’t want to come off the floor so I left it there:/
B. Done. 1:03, :47, :36 I forgot about the cycling part but actually managed to push jerk the 175 and155. I usually get impatient and end up getting gassed after just push pressing.
C. 260 reps. 6:00 for Karen, 2:49 for dubs (lol!) 3:11 for MU. Really happy with that minus forgetting how to jump rope.
D. No incline. Did kb floor press w/2×1.5 p and 45s for Z press
