Love the picture of Chantal! So focused!
QOD: Squat snatch.
Me too for sure – compound and over my head – bad combination
AGREED!
QOD : Shoulder Press !!!
QOD: same for me. Fighting the urge to dig and end up with a push press is the hardest lol
Same here

Strength front squat up to 105 x5 very frustrating being off sick and coming back and all strength is gone down the crapper.
Wod 47rx. happy i did it Rx. they’re a large goat for me.
have a great day everyone.
Good job! I was happy to have you next to me on this one
we had the same feelings going into this one!
At least you are well enough to come back and work out! That’s what matters. The strength will return.
And look at you with the “big boy” ball today going Rx.
Nice job.

Nice job McD…

WOD @ 10#
128 (PR of 16 reps from Sept. 17/11)
A little embarrassed that at my height I cannot complete this workout. Must work on technique, but that would mean doing more all balls (yuck!). Anyways,happy with my results and my shoulders are screaming right now!
Congrats on your OHS PR and “Karen” PR, Michelle
Thanks Lora! You’re always so sweet!
Awww, Michelle!! Nothing to be embarrassed about, you got 128 reps in!! That’s awesome!

Good job Mel!

WOD 10#
121, PR of 16 reps. Need to practice these more, 14# is still a little out of my reach..litterally.
QOD: Snatches for sure.
Congrats on your PR, Maria!
Try putting some 14# WBs into your warmup. I promise, they will get easier.
I’ll try that! Thanks Lora!

Shoulder Press 5′s

I am happy with my total but I think I took too many breaks note to myself for next time!!
Good job Everyone!! Nice to see Mel and Kevin M at 6am!!!
Congrats on your PR, Elba!
QOD: Squat Snatch
QOD: In terms of technique, the squat snatch is challenging for me. I can still power snatch more than my squat snatch… But as far as general progress, I now feel like shoulder press and deadlift are challenging as they seem to have reached a bit of plateau.

-140 (14lb) Last 30 or 40 were pretty rough, bad form so will stick to the 14 lbs next time this comes around.
QOD
most challenging but also favourite lift is the squat snatch, was making some great progress with it, but now after surgery and some recovery time it’s going to be an all new task! Think Gillyon uses BL? I’ll use OK (old knees! Lol) looking forward to get back to the box and start the recovery! Miss all you guys!
Hahahahaha LOVE IT!
QOD – I am sure everyone can guess mine…. OHS for sure, but I can’t wait to attack it next week. My shoulder is feeling good and have had a lot of helper hints from the coaches. Hoping for a pr.
QOD: squat snatch
Very technical lift and I think I am missing the chromosome that allows one to move their body in one direction while the weight goes in another
OH and YAY!!! Its Karen today! Surely SOMEONE else out there shares my excitement? Someone? Anyone? Hello???
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I do not share your excitement. Karen is a big ol’
Biatch!
Can you hear your voice echo, Lora?? Maybe some crickets??
This WOD can die in a fire.

I had a solid plan, but I lost too much focus after my no reps (= wasted time).

Nice big 4:15 group! Good work all!

So yeah, finally made progress on this WOD. This one was a concern of mine since the games… will try to shave more time off next time. Good job 5h30!! Was awesome hearing “The Trooper” playing mid-WOD. Nothing like a good Iron Maiden track.
Great job Mario!

Couldn’t do Karen with the wall balls because my doctor wants me to rest my knee (completely) for a few weeks… Sooooooo Pat came up with ‘Sit up Karen’!! Med ball (4#) over my head during the sit up then contact with the wall on the awesome target on the wall. Thanks Pat!
I was at 150 at 7:15 mins but decided to keep going and ended up doing 210 in 10 minutes.
