Start light (around 50% for first work set) and work on resetting hook grip on the descent. You can pause at the hang but not at the floor. Must be touch and go.

8AM with Coach Foxes. Power clean 80# 3r 5s. Still working on getting tight at the bar. Still alot of work to do for this lift. WOD, scaled with 7 T2B, in 16:30. Windy, but a good morning for run.

All,
Just a reminder for all of you at CFSBK who are in the technology industry and/or technology/coding enthusiasts. There are a number of schools in our area who are doing an "Hour of Code" this week and still looking for volunteers to come in and help for a couple hours. Helping requires minimal technical knowledge and mostly just working with kids to think through how to problem solve. It's fun and we had a bunch of CFSBK folks out last year. E-mail me at runderwood5(at)gmail if you'd like to me connected directly with a local school. See too http://www.tealsk12.org/hourofcode/

10am class with Ro and Fox
Worked up to 135 across for 5 sets then a touch and go set of 5 to finish up.
Still trying to keep my ass down on the initial lift.
The WOD was tough, I need to run more and get my cardio up… I'll start that in May!
Finished rX in 16:29. The toes to bar really started breaking down on the 4th set. I got through 3 rounds unbroken then broke up the last two sets.
Ps, the best BBQ spot by Clinton hill is Beast of Bourbon. On Myrtle and just past Bedford ave. happy hour 7 days a week 12-8 2 for 1 drinks and about 45 beers on tap… Just sayin!

The handstand clinic yesterday was awesome! Thanks to lululemon and CFSBK for a great time! Learning the pirouette to come out of a handstand made handstands without a wall way less scary. The partner dumbell WOD was fun too. Was happy to get a little workout since I had to miss back squats for grad school.
Today was a beautiful day for running outside. Did the workout (with situps :/ ) in 14:10 and had some opportunity to work on toes to bar when I finished. I was told chin-ups and floor levers will build up strength to get those things!

Worked up to 60kg on the power snatch. This was higher than I was expecting to go today but it felt good – I think I could go up 10-15 lbs and still have a manageable set of 5 touch and go
WOD in 14:34. That was a lot of toes to bar.

Saturday – 1PM mondo class – Whit – Jeremy – DO
Squat
135×10
185×5
225×3
245×1
265×1
285×1
Pretty happy with this…right @ 90% of my 1RM…definitely need to keep my eyes forward on the heavier squats, aiming to not strain my neck.
Metcon – 4:41 – 2pood
was always pretty happy with this and I didn't hate this as much as I thought…in this sprint workout there was absolutely no time to think. Just keep moving and breathing!
I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've talked to Coach Jeremy, and I always seem to walk away with a great one-liner. Today's was great…"no human being in the history of the world has died while still breathing…just keep breathing"
Cashout: 2k row, kept it under 1:55 split
Sunday – 1pm – Irish Duo of Ro and Melo
Snatch – more of metcon working out with Mike C
95×5
105×5
115×5
125×5
135×5
145×4
actually really enjoyed getting a lot of volume during this session…good strategy by my partner. I have to say, I don't believe I've ever done touch and go snatches before…so a lot of my focus was on the reset…of course very different than the bail and go. What suffered today, which Melo pointed out, was my extension…was short changing it, and will have to watch next weekend.
Metcon – horrid – 19:40
I scaled the T2B to 12 per round…I wanted to really keep it moving, and still didn't succeed so happy that I scaled back the volume a little. I went sets of 6-6 the first 3 rounds and then the last 2 was sets of 3…said this before, but happy to see T2b in our programming and warmups, I need to work at it.
Congrats to Mike C on PR'ing his overall snatch in a touch n' go set of 3 @ 145 POWER snatches. Ha. That's gotta be some sort of record…he easily could've gotten 155 today.

Ryan did this at 20cal in like 2/3 my time, gotta step up my conditioning game. I did go pretty slow on the bike, but I hate that thing.
