these felt pretty good. lower weights helped me work on technique a little better.
Press: 5-5-5-5-5
45x5x2, 65×5, 85x5x5
havent pressed in like a month so i went “light” but to be honest these felt heavy dammit. felt good overall, i need to get back in a regular routine before i get weaker.
I intended to do this sub 5 but the burpees really added up for me.
Laurelsays
Always love getting to come to the 12:00 oclock class.
Practiced full squat cleans and jerks for about an hour: 53xlots,83×2,103xlots,113x3x2
Kept the weight light so I could focus on technique, still have a lot to learn. Split jerk is hard for me, my back foot wants to point out away from my body instead of in, so is unstable.
Felt terrible in the middle of the cleans, nausea and stomach ache. Stopped for a few minutes and eventually felt a little better. Not sure what the problem was.
WOD: 7:22 as Rx’d. Thanks David McG for counting me through it.
Malcolmsays
Did some foam and lacrosse ball rolling for about 30 minutes pre-class.
Then 165x3x5. Did this with Charmel which was really fun.
The other WOD was pretty brutal. Did it as Rx’d in 6:57 and then was coughing for about half an hour after.
Also did 5, 10 and 15 on the GHD Hip extensions.

Lots of cleans for me recently, but I like it…finally getting a bit un-funked up with my technique. 155x3x3 then 165x3x2, a bit all over the place but I got through it.
5:56 RX on the WOD, fun stuff.
Fox, I think i got my return on the row squared away before class, but my pull is still funky. Back to the drawing board.

Bj/burpee ladder wod – 7:30-I really enjoyed this. Had a hard time counting and had to refer to the whiteboard at least 5 times. I still think I did the 6 bj/5 burpee round twice. Would love to do this again with someone else keeping count.

Some individual rowing instruction from Coach Nick which was great! Worked on a few things but mostly the paradox of more output from a more relaxed stroke.

Fun noon class–nice crowd! This is still an alien movement to me, thanks to Margie, Shane, Laurel and Fox for trying to coach me through it (yes I am that much of a disaster that 4 coaches could not solve my problems). Ultimately I think my brain just rebels at the idea of dragging a big heavy bar across my thighs. Why would you want to keep that shit so close?
Moved slowly b/c Laurel and I were sharing a bar, so ended up doing just 3 work sets @ 105. Lots to learn here.
Box jump/burpees: 7:36 as Rx’d. Feeling like I’m getting some cardio fitness back at last.

135 x 3 x 5!I just hit Novice!
Felt pretty good on these today –am looking forward to next week.
I kind of just did 1 long set. I would pull after about 5-20 seconds of rest. Got all 15 reps with 1 fail at rep 13 or sow.
Finished the Burpee Box Jump WOD 24″ @ 6:42. Not bad. Burpees at the end sucked.
was going to do 3min rest but after first round thought that was too high. went with 90sec and became tough towards the end. glad i did this – has been awhile since i did short pieces like this.
did a few sets of 3 power cleans – worked up to 113×3.
