Some SDHPs
Proper Sumo Deadlift High Pull means the elbows stay above the bar as it passes the chest. Keep your back tight and use your ass on the pull.
Strength
Sumo Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3
WOD
7 rounds:
7 Thrusters (75/45)
7 Sumo Deadlift high pulls
7 Burpees
145# for deadlift – we didn’t do sumo style (as far as I know!) in 5:30 am. I could have gone a bit more, I think, but ran out of time. I’m ok with it, my back hurts now anyway. And my shins – a sure sign my form is improving.
WOD: 15:22 rx. I found this workout intimidating! I look forward to the day when I can come to CFSV more than 2x per week, so my body won’t be so shocked at workouts like this! Most novel part of the workout was a visit from Somerville’s finest (or were they Cambridge’s finest?) stopping by to give one of their colleagues a hard time. Hope we see them again soon, this time in workout duds. Good job to Chris and Dan today – this was a tough one, many new moves to learn in a one hour time span.
yay for n00bies! i’m with hillary – maybe “sumo” got mysteriously wiped from the whiteboard? 🙂 but normal ones are plenty fun.
DL: 200# PR (!)
WOD: 10:19 Rx (45#). so much intensity – heart was unbelievably racing – but the thrusters felt really good at this weight. thx merilee & JT!
Christine… Those are some boss ass numbers.
Dude. Lady. Beast. Status. You are my idol.
crazy deadlift and awesome wod time!
henceforth, Christine = Strong.
I like my coffee very christine in the morning.
BOOMSAUCE. i bet you have so much more in you, too. that is awesome!
you know i couldn’t do it without you guys! also: i almost feel like we could have a good chance at this. tix to scotland, anyone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caber_toss 😉
Owing to my pulled groin (yes, please let the jokes fly), I did a JT-custom WOD:
7 rounds:
7x push press @ 95#
10 calorie row
25 14″ rebounding box jumps
~14:30, which was 4:30 past the target. And it was *brutal*. That’s the worst I’ve felt after a WOD in a while. Guess I’ve got work to do. 🙂
For strength training, I volume-trained pullups. Started out with 5 reps/min, ended at 3 reps/min.
DL 135# PR … for a dead lift ever, not just 3 rep max. 😀
WOD 12:05 Rx I love when I can just write Rx.
First PR + Rx in the same day.

DL 165# (PR)
12:09 for the wod. by the 5th round i was actually relieved when it was time for the burpees. thrusters are so evil! great workout, with great people as per the usual at cfsv. i can’t believe tomorrow’s my last day- i’m going to miss you guys!!
DL: 285#
WOD: 13:48 @ 65# This WOD destroyed me.
Best of luck Abi! Sorry I will miss your going away tomorrow.
DL: 345#
WOD: 13:32 (?) RX weight; but my form really sucked for the last two rounds. A lot harder then it looked on paper.
“Lets get a break in guys.
“You guys did the work so you get to call it.
“1, 2, 3…”
