Clean: 165x3x3
Got to hang with Margie… Good times and good workout.
Love the rep scheme for the LGBT WOD.
Ah, OK, now I understand that rep scheme…but it's kinda mean to make people put the bar down between the squat cleans and the shoulder to overheads!
Thank you David for hosting the LGBT WOD. Thank you for your support to the community. It means a lot.
For the last three days, I've been leaving comments here, not noticing they were going up under Noor's name. Sorry about that. (I think Crystal caught me on the squat numbers on Wednesday).
Last night's open gym was my own private murph day. I used the green band for pullups & finished in 58:17. I can't believe how hard the 2nd mile run was. Ridiculous. Have fun next week.
Regionals has so far been a huge serving of awesomeness, along with a side of anxiousness. These are all some impressive humans but even at this level the disparity from best to worst is obvious. I keep thinking of Kelly calling them meat robots.
Holy shit Murph next week…
12 class with McDowell and Josh
Front Squats 45×5 95×4 135×3 185×3 205x3x3
Odd mile in 9:38 w/ 77# sandbag. Man that was tough. Interesting to have to think about so many things at once (move your legs and feet properly/safely, keep your spine upright to support the load, adjust your arms/hands so as not to get sore, keep moving) while basically just running. Cool exercise in focus.
Squats partnered with Everett (many thanks for watching!):
262.5 x3 x5
This is a PR for reps across. for me and represents the third quantifiable strength gain this cycle: I squatted 255 for 10 and 260 for 9 as repout improvements and then this as an improvement over my previous sets across mark.
Lifting has been rough for me for the past few weeks. My injured left shoulder leaves me feeling not 100% in many movements; my diet has not been optimal; I fell off the booze wagon; sleep is still a problem; and so on. So getting some gains in squatting has been a huge relief.
Also, doing 'just' sets across feels way less stressful than the third set repouts I've been doing for a while.
Recovery Squats 205x3x3. Played around with pointing my toes out more than normal.
Odd mile with 77# sandbag @ 10:30.
Also, got my first muscle-up today!
Congratulations Doug!
120# 3×5 – finally getting strength back post-boot.
Wasn't ready for the odd mile run yet, so Melissa gave me an alternative that was awesome!
