QUESTION COACH…BMU WERE MOSTLY SINGLES W SOME DOUBLES…..THEY TOOK MOST TIME SHOULD I SCALE THE BMU NEXT TIME IF THIS WORKOUT SHOWS UP?
No – I wanted you to get some BMU density in for today so you made the right call by doing them!
DMAW done
Gymnastics: Wall climbs done + EMOM sHSPU (I don’t intend to participate in the Open this year. I feel like I lost three to four weeks when we moved and I want to be able to do my best). Completed total 20 reps (6/6/4/4). I bit tired from the conference this week.
Front squats: built from 50 to 62 kg (81% of my 1-RM)
Advanced Cindy: I scaled to 1 BMU (difficult to string together in the garage). Completed 8 + 5 reps. Felt so slow today and had to take quite long rest.
Hope you got some good sleep last night!

Thanks for bar MU feedback – I’ll spend some time watching the vid and working drills, hopefully before next bar MU wod.
You are welcome! Sorry about your hands – have you tried wearing grips?
30 s hold nose to wall
Front squat 70,85,90,90,95,95,95,95
8 rounds plus 5 pull ups green band on both chest to bar and pull up. I changed to a wider grip so my shoulder would not hurt as much also it will work my last more I think
Have a great day
What is going on with your shoulder?
I have tear in rotator cuff
Bummer! I hope you are working with a good PT to rehab it and are avoiding any movements that may aggravate it!
It is just a partial tear so I just do what I can. The wider grip with pull ups seems to not hurt as bad. Will that help build my lats?
It will help build lat strength!
