Would have liked to stand up with one of those last ones.

100 OHS for time..
Used the “mens weight” 95#
25:08 or :12? can’t remember.
Took me wayy too long. Mostly sets of 10 but I didn’t manage my rests properly. I could have gone faster. I bet I take 7 minutes off the next time. I’m going after it again on Saturday. We’ll see what happens.
Started out with a slightly wider grip which was killing my wrists. It was the main reason I had to keep dumping the weight. I liked the slightly more narrow grip.. Good call Darling.
Once I was finished I noticed my pinky was tingling
Great job everyone. You all make me so proud!

95,105,115,115,125,135,145(PR) (155(f))
10 on btb tabatas.
good work everyone – see you on monday!
Margiesays
Steph – you didn’t fail on anything last night! Did you? I thought I saw you get 155 up easy!
i got it up, but lost all form so i’m considering that a failure. if i kept form i wouldn’t have gotten it up!
AllisonNYCsays
Stephanie that’s not a failure. That’s pretty much what happens when you reach your max. You probably would have failed if you went higher.
It’s important to push your limits.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a really pretty perfect looking lift on someones 1RM.

In that case then:95,105,115,125,135,145(PR),145(f)
The 1st attempt at 145 was an ugly, knee buckling affair. But, I got it up.

Allison thanks. In that case: 155 (PR)

Did Elizabeth tonight at the Box
7:3165lbs, power cleansjumping negatives (slow)
I think the full cleans I was practicing after the WOD were much better than during. Allison gave me a great cue that cleaned (ha) my form right up. Wish you’d been there before I started! Alas.It was fun, nonetheless.

Was going to take an off day until I realized I haven’t benched heavy all year, and have been fairly neglectful of that lift for a long time. Results were not encouraging.

Not where I want to be, at least I know how to fix it.
Who spotted you on the Bench? And did they let you push the bar or were they trying to make it a partner workout?
Jeremysays
It was a decent spot, the bar stalled out about 8 or 9″ my and he gave me a bit of help to get me through that sticking spot. Even so a successful 300 would still be about 25#s from my pre-crossfit best.I think the capacity can be rebuilt fairly quickly I just need to mix it in to my workouts more often than I have been.
That’s great. I find that benching capacity comes back really quick. There are tons of great articles on the slow lifts in that Westside link i posted earlier.
Sneak Peak.. We’re going to be Split Jerking on Saturday. Buy some Goddamn O lifting shoes, everyone!

65,65,45 on the C&Jjumping negatives, modified push ups (had to wait for the pull up bar a few rounds so was slowed down a bit)
wasn’t feeling great and it is so much harder to stay focused when going at it alone.
sad i’m missing the split jerks on saturday!! damn!
