  1. AG

    Pistol 101

    A.
    EMOM 8
    EVEN: 12 alternating Pistols
    ODD: 5-10 C2B pull ups

    B.
    10 rounds @80-90% sustainable effort
    5 HSPU
    10 dual KB deadlifts, AHAP/unbroken
    130m run

  2. The new website design looks great- both on a desktop and mobile.
    8 AM class with Jess.
    Worked up to 135# on the jerk complex- took a little getting used to, but moved fine overall.
    Annie in 7:07 with single unders.

  4. 8am Short Circuit with Chris

    Still feeling StrongFit + Short circuit from yesterday. All my movements were on the slow side. The burpees + hollow holds were the hardest part for me.

    9am Group Class with Jess and Chris

    Worked up to 150 on the Front Squat + Split Jerk. Great feedback from both Jess and Chris about my shoulder and hand positions when doing the jerk portion. Personally, I actually found this a bit easier since my usual limiter is my split jerk landing. This gave me a chance to work on it at higher weights and less complexity.

    DUs are still a work in progress, so I did singles and attempts.

  6. Oh AG, how I have missed you!

    Things went really well for me today. REALLY well. I got my first pistols on the left side, kipping pull-ups were pretty smooth, and I ditched the third abmat for HSPUs! Ro did put a 5# plate under the 2 abmats because I wasn’t *quite* getting all the way down, but still. Progress!

    when a day is going this well, it’s time to buy a Mega Millions ticket, amirite?

  9. Congrats, Amanda! You crushed it! Site looks great everyone, good job!

    1pm: worked up to 120 (an actual 120) for the the jerk complex.

    Annie: sore from tabata sit-ups yesterday. We tested these at AG strength yesterday. Also tripped up quite a bit on DUs. Slower than my PR. 7:29 today

    Feel pretty good about AG:
    Emom: 10 pistols, 5 strict c2b

    Wod: 16:55 5 HSPUs, 10 kb swings, 130m run 10 rounds

    Actually felt like I ran a 5k. Amazing! Started smooth and go faster. Really fun to go for a long time at a sustainable pace then realize you actually are super tired at the end! Starts easy, ends hard, kept it consistent. #nailedit

    Also, check my Instagram for a strict muscle up video tomorrow or Tuesday. I got this in the bag!!

  14. Love the website, Amanda!

    Worked up to 123 on the complex. Failed 128. Got the bar high enough but didn’t drop under it.

    Annie in 8:32 modified
    Double unders had been improving until my rope broke. Bought the same type of handles and cut a new wire the exact same length but now can’t do them with the new rope. Sigh. Did half double unders today with the exception of the first round where I did 31. First time doing Annie.

    AG

    WOD with push-ups, 20kg KB. Started off with hspu but my thumb and shoulder are bothering me again 🙁 maybe back to PT next week.
