takebacksuggestion says
oh you know, i read that as the workout for tuesday
i understand now
thanks!
David Osorio says
we got you! This was a popular request so we switched to posting the night before a few months ago however the time stamp ends up staying as the day before the post which can be a little confusing.

7 AM with RoHarpz
Alllllllmost made it to 0:30 with 125/hand. At 0:26 my grip gave out. That’s 90% of bodyweight so…goals!
WOD 3+16 Rx. I think it’s been a couple of weeks since I did cardio in any real sense and I felt that. Morgan kindly let me be Partner A so that I wouldn’t stress out seeing her number before I started.
Washing my hair was SUCH a problem afterward. T-rex arms.
Stella says

Tuesday got me good:
AM sesh:
A) Snatch
70% 2 reps x 1; rest as needed
72.5% 1 reps x 2; rest as needed
75% 1 reps x 4; rest as needed
108/113/118
This went so well it’s exciting. Practicing my pauses at the bottom so I make sure I’m not shifting in my positions away from my left leg
B)Power Jerk
70% 2 reps x 1; rest as needed
72.5% 1 reps x 2; rest as needed
75% 1 reps x 4; rest as needed
150/155/160# respectively. Great. No problems! Got better at getting under it towards the end
C) Assault Bike
2 min @ 50-54 rpm
HS walk obstacle – your choice
50′ sled push – 100% bsq on sled (~240)
x 4 rounds
This was so fun!!! Did 5 rds on accident. Did the pyramid with the plates this time. Only one sloppy round otherwise i did pretty well! need to practice a better finish and pretend like i have to walk over a line. I’m going to try and see if i can pull off a pyramid and paralettes next time
****THEN SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES I got overheated and underfed myself. gave it my all for PM but i was definitely pukey and not as powerful as I wanted to be despite my wattage output in part A. very interesting. 2:30 pieces are hard for me for sure its going to take a minute to adjust. need to utilize ice bath on two a days***
PM SESH:
A)Assault Bike
10s – max watts
rest walk 1:50
x 5 rounds
-rest walk 10 min then move to B
1043/1043/1076/1043/1043 watts
B) @hard effort:
complete 2 rounds in 2.5 min of:
3 TnG PC – 105#
5 lateral burpees over the bar
15 cal AB
rest walk 9-10 min
x 2 rounds
High hang HIP BOP technique @ 105# to avoid fast pulling from floor.
Capped @ 10 cals in 2nd rd for 1st block
Capped @ 10.5 cals in 2nd rd for 2nd block
66-68 RPM for first block. Thought maybe I could go harder and finish it second go around. I couldn’t. Was pretty accurate on my pace from first rd cause I only got .5 more cals lol! Tried to hang on to 68-70RPM for second block and I died by the second round and could only hold 66. So good attempt. Almost puked. Think I drank too much water and didn’t eat enough. Tried to play it right with liquid/fruit squeezes something that digests quickly as a replacement for lunch (ate breakfast at 10:30) but it was 3:40pm when I did this and it was way too long without solid food. Ugh eating is so hard in two a days for me
