Hey friends! It’s Brian’s bday! Drinks at the Indo at 8. You know you want to.
Happy Birthday, Brian! All the best!
Marcos! Show up and put all these spring chickens to shame tomorrow at the 6 pm!
COME ON!!
Lol, Erin, but with my sprained wrist, not too much to be done….
Happy Birthday Shoe Twin!!
LBBS = 135# Had not done this lift since September. I jumped from 135# (which was easy) to 160#… as if this was my first day lifting. KP did not approve. She actually made the Mckayla Maroney face at me. Did get 2 reps in at 160# but sloppy and questionable. My HBBS 3RM is 155# so I should have planned this better. ON A POSITIVE NOTE: This actually did NOT feel awkward today. I did a bit of reading on the 3 shoulder-racked squats last night – thanks JT 🙂
Gracie = 4:42 @ 65# ….my mom’s name.
it’s my sis’ name, too!
link to the article about different rack positions, please? 🙂 (i do have the journal subscription, if i need to log in)
I’ve been out with a stupid foot and an aggravated shoulder (guess who thought she’d just work on pullups while she couldn’t do lower body? yeah, i’m an idiot). But this leaves me lots of time to read up for future knowledge!
Happy birthday Brian!
Hatch Wk 8/Day 2
WOD: 6:38 Rx
Cal and I were neck and neck with this one. Extremely fun 5:30am class, even though everyone wasn’t technically awake.
so can i change my time to 6:38 then? 🙂
and i was awake…i’m just naturally slow
We weren’t fully awake cuz KP ran out of coffee and started talking to an empty cup.
Great 5:30am class hussies!
255# LBBS and I can definitely do some more next time.
7:11 WOD. I think I could make this one faster if I don’t hold the bar over my head quite as long to make the transition quicker and save my shoulder energy some.
squatting.
WOD: 6:39 Rx. first rx! i was convinced this one was going to take 10 minutes, but pleased to see it didn’t.
fun morning!
you’re like the white dwarf star of strength. compact & intense!
LBBS: 255# PR (5# more than last week)
WOD: 4:06 Rx
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIAN!! I bled for you today (thumbnail injury). Don’t worry, I wiped down the bar.
LBBS – 155# (less terrifying than usual, but i’m still not up to switch allegiance from HBBS)
GRACE – 4:03 at 65#. next time i will try 75#. the clean is not so bad… but the jerk is just that “p.s. bonus!” step.
Grace ( you whore) – 4:31, rx
Yep. Significantly faster. Hope you channeled hillz.
Coach nick + brian birthday + grace = Total Sweatpant Boner
200#. 4:35 rx
GROSS
Here’s the link to the article I posted which Renee is referencing:

…and if you want my other articles and thought about training (amongst MANY OTHER topics) you can friend me on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/jts1486), and ‘LIKE’ the CrossFit Somerville page.
If, on the other hand, you do NOT want my thoughts on many topics then friending me on Facebook is a terrible idea.
