A. Complete. Wall slides were very challenging. B.85#x5-105×5-120×5-145×3-150×3-150×3-125×10 (barely got the 10th rep) C. 2:52-3:02-3:18-3:33-3:24 CFInvictus brand horrible (but effective) interval WOD. I was lying in a pool of sweat afterwards. Did the 45-54 yo 15 Wall Ball Shots/10 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups scaling. I will be in that bracket for the next Open and the 30# wall ball and 15 C2Bs would have been to much for me right now. Rows got pretty slow the 4th and 5th round. Chest to bar done with 4-5 reps + sets of 2s and 1s to finish each round. All wall balls unbroken, because… Read more »

A. Completed
B. 55/65/75/90/95/95/75, based on 105ish
C. 3:40, 3:39, 4:12, 3:53, 3:54. Used a 16# ball. Not sure what happened round 3, I was playing around with smaller reps and it took too long. Went back to just feel and did much better 4 and 5. My goal today was rowing and straight into wall balls UB, since that combo is tough for me. Mission accomplished! Thanks for the great week:)

A. done. Quadruped extension-rotation was very helpful.
B. 55/65/75/80/90/95/80#
C. I have 2 unreasonable issues that hold me back constantly…both fear based-1. fear of breathing heavy. 2. Not believing I can accomplish the task.
Finished all rounds with 1:30-1:20 remaining BUT I scaled the C2B to 10 reps…why? I can do this. Ugh.
A huge lesson I learned doing the comp training was that no matter what I can still do 15 UB wall balls. I stuck with that today @20#. Final row was a sluggish 2:20.

Honestly, I would just go by feel. Recovery is the name of the game so if you are able to recover and have time for those conditioning sessions then sure. However, if you are running around trying to squeeze that session in, not able to recover well and are feeling tired coming in the next day then skip them. Listen to your body, it will tell you if it is too much.

A. Done
B. Last 3 sets of 3 reps @50kg and then 10 @75%
C. Passed all rounds:
1st: 4.20
2nd: 9.33
3rd: 14.45
4th: 19.18
5th: 24.48

I used my Fenix2 during C. part and average bpm was 165 (86%) and maximum during 25 minutes was 180 (94%). For me this was good threshold workout based on numbers and felt good all the time to the finish.

If we see heavy squats tomorrow this is super good program for me based on first week.
