i wish nadia comaneci had told me to stick with gymnastics when i was kid.
push press: 95#, failed at 4×100#.
wod: 5+5 Rx. My doubles disappeared throughout most of this, which is extra frustrating when there’s only 16. Taped my socks too low, too, and didn’t escape rope burn entirely, but a fun one none the less!
thanks for the squat/knee therapy advice! I really think it worked…at least until I decided to go so heavy I started failing, which is probably not what you had in mind…
Trying to figure out why I was so excited for rope climbs today. Changed my resi from Fenway to SV when I saw the WOD. My inner thigh and ankle are not impressed with my life decisions right now.
PP – First whack at my goal to press 100# overhead this month. 88# for 5 looked good, no jerks. Tried at 93# and got to 4 but failed on 5. Thanks for the tips DK. I’m less insecure about the timing of the “bounce”
WOD – WHY. Rope climbs hurt. 4 + 1 climb. Next time I will wear cushier sneakers and long pants. Socks don’t cut the mustard. They just don’t. Single Unders but otherwise Rx.
PP: Got up to 125# (4×135#), but I was not happy with my form at those weights. Went back down to 95# and worked on form. (Thanks to Nick for his help.)
WOD: 7+7 Rx. This was a lot of fun. Got slowed down by my intermittent DUs, as well as starting all my rope climbs intentionally flat-footed. For once, the wall balls were not the hardest part of the workout!
PP: 75#, my goal is to get 100# over my head sometime this month… If it’s going to be with a push press I have some work to do – split jerk is another story.
WOD – 8 rounds maybe? I wimped out and did rope pulls instead of climbs because being sick for the past 3 days has sucked the energy out of me. 14# wall balls and singles – not my finest showing but I was happy to do at least some activity.
WOD: 4+14 Rx. DUs were what slowed me down the most. Still only able to do DU-single-DU-single. Hopefully with a little more practice and repetition, I will be at proper DUs for the next WOD.
Strength
PP: 150#. Should have gone for 155#.
WOD: 9+5 Rx. This WOD has all of my favorites so it was pretty fun. Great job 5:30!
