    B) Heavy Single – 255, 275, 295, 305. then:
    3×2 @ 255 and 3×2@ 275 (should have been 275 from the start but, I apparently can’t do basic math and confused by the number of 15 and 10# bumpers I had on the bar…)
    C) 14:00
    D) 83 (Buddy Lee would have slapped me and kicked me out of the gym. Pretty awful…)

  4. A. Up to 155 then emom @180 (84%) – I felt really fast and strong on these today.

    B. Up to 245 then 235, 235, 240, 245.

    C. 8:31 No 30# so used 25#. Usually I struggle with getting my legs wrapped around the rope correctly and use a lot of upper body, but today it went really smoothly and I broke up the wall balls into two sets for the first few rounds so I wouldn’t get too fatigued early on.

    D. 164 – was only getting sets of max 20 unbroken, but recovered quickly between trips and kept grinding.

    Can’t wait to get back with the squad on Wednesday.

  5. A. Worked up to 113 did emom @128 (this felt light)
    B. Got up to #188 felt great did 4×2 @168
    C. 8:55 wall balls were almost all unbroken, felt good today. Rope was a little short by maybe a foot or two (it was the only rope accessible) they felt good.
    D. Going to do tomorrow, wussed out with sharp stomach pains.

  6. A. 135-205, then 230×4/235/240×2/245/250×2
    B. 285/290/300×2
    C. 7:47
    D. 195

    Tweaked my back with the pause clean. Feels like a lower T spine spasm, gonna see how that feels going into tomorrow. Should be fine. Rope climbs felt OK, but first exposure to that kind of volume in a short window. I definitely got sloppy with pulls as we got into the round of 4/3. Definitely a lesson learned in terms of the importance of accuracy jumping off the floor. Was SMOKED for the DU. Opened with 50, then broke into sets of 25.

  7. A. 135/155/175
    Then 210×5, 215×3, 220×2 (thanks to Sean for the push here)

    B. Up to 265
    Then 245 x4x2

    C. 6:57 RX
    Felt good here. Did the wall balls:
    19-6/13-7/9-6/10/5
    Rope climbs all of them pretty much touch and go.

    D. 135
    Everything hurt here and I still gotta lengthen my rope or figure out how to not suck because lately my dubs have been really bad.

  8. A. 135/165/185… 225 for the emom
    B. Up to 275 then 255 for the 4×2
    C 6:42. Rope climbs felt good but probably rested too much. All wall balls unbroken, excited about that.
    D. 242. I did the first 100 unbroken. This worked my shoulders

    1. I rested a while and hit that C&J burpee over bar workout from last Friday. Coop’s video inspired me to get crushed by it. Finished 9:57rx. Burpees killed me per usual

  9. Debating coming in today cause I’ve been feeling under the weather the past few days. Glad I decided to power through it!
    A. 83, 103, 113
    Then
    Singles done at 133
    B. Up to 193
    4×2 @ 183, 173 x 3
    These felt really heavy today. Had to scale it back to 82% for the last 3 sets.
    C. 11:06
    James and I shared a rope, so I got a bit more rest than I probably needed, but this was still challenging. Rope climbs felt pretty good, arms were shot during the wall balls.
    D. 123. Ew.

    Like Matt said, these pause cleans light up the low/mid back. Overall felt really good today. Just need to work on my rope climbs.

    The girls crushed it today! Nice job guys.

  11. A. 83/93/103 & 123 for EMOM
    B. 175 for 2 sets, 165 for 2 sets
    C. 25 min? This was pretty much the worst experience ever. Rope climbs dwindled to 1/2 climbs for fear of falling after 10. Wall balls in comparison felt great.
    D. 115, calves cramping.
