Made it to 7 am class!
Light weight for the snatch complex. Focused on…… not getting frustrated lol.
3×3 OHS at 78#
Hope to see some of my gym buds drop in at Next Level Weightlifting Club! Friday morns are super early but it's a great time to check it out and it's definitely been my favorite workout time so far. It's usually pretty quiet then. Two hours makes for plenty of time to hone your technique and also get a lot stronger. Frankie gives very specific, individualized cues to each person, and for me this has translated into the ability to move more weight with more confidence. I'd recommend the club to anyone, even novices, because it's such a great learning experience. Check it out!
6am with Jess and David
Fitness Snatch: 33, 53, 63, 73
My arms were tired today and wasn't feeling on. Spent some time with the PVC on the side, just going through the positions.
OHS: 73, 83, 93, 98x3x3. I was originally going to go for 103, but the overhead position felt less stable this week than last week.
Cash out: roughly 5 burpees per round, maybe 6 or 7 on the first
The last link on the blog is gold. I'm guilty of using "just" in many emails, which I will now try to be more aware of and eliminate going forward.
I think the fix to the "just" problem, is to instead use capital J JUSTICE instead. For instance:
"I, Justice, wanted to make sure the reports for this quarter have been filed."
I don't think any rational person could dismiss someone who calls themselves Justice like its their superhero name.
Noon w/ Coach Ro & DO
Snatch: Performance –> Fitness:

Interesting note from Robb Wolf regarding the CrossFit/CocaCola/Diabetes issue:
"One can get into the weeds of whether or not sugar specifically is a driver of type2DM, but it's clear that sugar enhances the palatability of food and drives the over-consumption of calories. Some folks have made the point that CFHQ has taken an "interest" in this topic as an outgrowth of the pending licensure being pushed by the NSCA/ACSM. That's largely irrelevant when the larger picture is considered. This is all a story of Crony Capitalism at it's best:Peddlers of sugar (which is a heavily gov subsidized industry) are working to alter the legality of coaching basic human movement. That's for starters. My understanding of all this is that this dovetails nicely into the Affordable Care Act and will put the onus of diabetes and obesity management onto "exercise specialists" not on the food folks consume. Have all the sugar you want, just exercise more. I don't think it's too controversial to say that will not work out well for anyone but the sellers of sugar. Like it or hate it, but CF is in a position to push the needle away from autocracy and towards sound nutritional approaches. I have had a storied history with CF but I will absolutely stand shoulder to shoulder with them on this."
Frank Murray — if you're out there — please offer more times! We want to take your class!!!
First day back in the gym since last Thursday (except for a brief OG attempt on Sunday)
I was ready for an epic comeback.
Huge 9th Street iced coffee ..after 4 days off caffeine completely. Pumped and jittery
Snatches went well.
Bbell warm up
35kg x 1 x 3
39kg x 1 x 3 (80%)
42kg x 1 x 5 (90%)
45kg x 1 (96%)
Pulls
47kg x 3 x 3
OHS were where things derailed.
Gunning for 120 or 125#, last week 115# felt completely doable
105# x3
110# failed push press, racked, push jerked and ohs x 2 – shaking like a leaf
105# x 3 – quivering the whole time.
Didn't feel heavy, just feeling the caffeine, that's all. Just the caffeine.
Tabata Burpees – 61
Fitness snatch modified. I did a full snatch instead of a mid hang snatch. I was so upset when I found out bc mid hang snatch is my new favorite lift. Oh well. I did one rep at: 53, 58, 63, 68 (f), 68, 73, 78, 83, 88×3(f). I, Justice, didn't drop at 88#. Sounds much better like that, Noah.
OHS 3×3 @93#. Should have done 98# but my shoulders were fatigued. I finished with 3 reps @98# just to see how it felt and I probably could have done the 3×3 at this weight. Oh well.
Tabata burpees: first, middle and last round @6 reps. The rest were 5. I probably could have tried harder.
Was planning on coming in tomorrow so I don't have to rush around on the 4th, but after proofreading my post and counting the number of times I wrote "oh well" and "probably" I should take a rest day.
DO, just seeing that quote now, but I dig it.
