Thank you so much for your support! I hope to kick some ass!
DL: 150#. PR. Haven’t done this in a while, and I think if I wasn’t so sore from pistols and bears, I’d have gone further. But it’s all good.
WOD: 9:51. 95#. Red banded ring dips. Damn ring dips -_- They do leave your arms so lethargic.
Yay 5:30! & Yay Dan for competing this weekend! I wish you luck, you crazy beast!
Wow. 15 95# OHS’s today. I want to be you when I grow up.
You’re a goon. <3
Yes, I second Renee. Super amazing OHSs! I’m impressed!
I’ll also be at the Crash Bs on Sunday coxing for a buddy. So come out and cheer for Dave ‘POWDERKEG’ Craig in the men’s senior heavyweight! This is his first race, but he’s going to be a phenom, so this is your chance to get in on the ground floor.
Hopefully I’ll see you on the floor!
DL: 335# PR
WOD: 8:37 w/ 115# OHS from ground, 30″ box jumps
First time going in the morning in months. Nice to feel awake when I get to work. I didn’t want to aggravate my shoulder issues, so went with a lighter squat.
Nice to see new faces every once in a while. Awesome work 7:30.
I’ll be out of town but good luck Dan!! Kick butt and have fun with it! Oh and congrats on doing something that I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever in a million years be caught dead doing. SO MUCH RESPECT.
I second this.
My first thought upon seeing that picture was “damn, a lot of people have signed up for voluntary torture… yikes.” Good luck with the competition Dan – that’s intense!
Strength: 225#. I think I love you, Deadlifts.
Wod: 9:31 w/ 75# OVHS & red banded ring dips. I think I hate OVHSs as much as I love DLs, if that’s even possible…
I guess I should have said 225#, PR BITCHES!
(except it was only my 3rd time doing DLs outside of a wod, so everything’s still a PR…)
Deadlift: 355# PR
WOD: 7:19 (115# OHS, and strict ring dips)
1) I was happy to see that my OHS went unbroken
2) I need to learn kipping ring dips
Thanks for the amazing support, everyone! I really appreciate it! CFSV <3
Details for when I’m racing:
Time: 4:15pm
Heat#: 30
Erg#: 37
In there!
KP is the worst/BEST and bullied me into DL: 175#, a PR… by 45#. Thanks, KP!
WOD: 9:40 with 45# OHS, bench dips, and two agro box jumps. Should probably have tried to go heavier/harder with the OHS and dips, but it felt great to be back and take it a little easy after the mega DL.
Nice to have Damien show us how it’s done at 7:30 – there were a lot of PRs and great pushes at 7:30.
YOUR DEADLIFT # JUST MADE MY DAY!
And yes, KP is so good at that. ^_^
THANK YOU! And looky you, with the PR AND 95# OHS! So dang impressive!
THANK YOU! And looky you, with 95# OHS (omg) and a PR DL! So dang impressive!
Reading these posts, all I can think is God, you people are all so badass!
DL = 175# PR, BASTARDS!!!!
WOD = 7:24 w/ 65#, ring-a-ding-dings done w/ heels on box rather than a band. That was a great scale, thanks Marileen! Wish I’d done a tad more with the OHS.
Love this PR marathon today!
DL: 185#, PR … wooot!
WOD: 8:26 (45#, green band, 20″) Next time dropping to blue band.
Definitely enjoyed seeing KP stealthily increasing height for Emily to finally getting her to conquer her box jump fear … soo freaking awesome!
Yeah, she’s sneaky like that! You’ve got to watch out for KP… 🙂
Deadlift: 355# 3 Rep PR
WOD: 5:57 Rx.
Deadliftage: 295# 3 rep PR. In retrospect, I should have put five more pounds on, 300 sounds so much better.
WOD ; 7:32 Rx
Go Dan, GO!! Yosh is right, you’re an ANIMAL!
Strength: Deadlift 175# PR – I might have had more in me. This weight felt impossible in Dec / Jan. I’m thanking my current diet!
WOD: 7:18 @ 45# with heels on boxes for ring dips. I think half a red band may have been harder. My armpits are not hurting today so I felt that maybe I should have done actual ring dips. After the WOD I banged out ten unassisted ring dips for extra credit because I felt I hadn’t challenged myself enough. I am excited for the day that OHS is no longer awkward and something “Clicks” … 45# is super light weight in any lift for me but in this one it’s close to the top of what I can manage. My form was shitty bc my knees went well past my toes to ensure I didn’t fall over backwards. This issue is not a problem in back squats or front squats. If I could get my shoulders behind my ears more in the bottom of the squat I believe my knees would be in the correct spot at the bottom. In closing: fuck you OHS you can suck my dick.
