      I didn’t want to be the bearer of bad news – but yet wanted to be able to compare to my last resuls accordingly. Sorry guys, but I meant it when I said I loved yous! *sad puppy eyes*

    I think I said this before but I need to try just ab mat for HSPU next time. Would like to attempt this WOD RX when it comes up again.

      I agree. You have the kip figured out. Try a 25# plate + abmat next time for HSPUs. You will be doing them Rx in no time! 🙂

    First time doing muscle ups other than a couple practice ones, very happy with that and happy with rx height hspu’s. Yay. Tried to keep up with trent but just didn’t have the muscle ups quite perfect yet. Had 1:00 left and just couldn’t get the next mu, shoulders were done. Great job coaching g this morning Mario and great job to all the 6am er’s.

    WOD (Should be named “Scale-the-crap-out-of-it-WOD”)
    AMRAP in 20 min
    5 Hang Power Cleans 110# (as 75#)
    1 Muscle-up (as 3 Pullups, 3 Dips – both with blue bands)
    5 HSPU (as 10 HR pushups)
    1 Muscle-up (as 3 Pullups, 3 Dips – both with blue bands)

    Strength has been SUPER hard lately and all my posted PR’s look like they belong to someone else – until yesterday!! 5 lb PR yesterday and hit my old PR for front squat today. Got a little teary-eyed I was so happy 🙂

    As for the wod – notes for next time…
    1. Try pike pushups between now and then and put them in the wod.
    2. Use skinny purple band for dips – couldn’t find one to use today – some ninja must have stolen them overnight ’cause there were tons yesterday…
    3. Use 2 “old” skinny purple bands for pullups – blue band was too helpful.
    4. This workout sucks for 20 minutes but it probably won’t kill you – using bands kills the transition time but also gives you a little bit of a needed break.

    Love you 7 a.m. crew (still worried that the 6 a.m. crew are lunatics… 🙂 )

    2. Lora

      Heather, I was really impressed with your perseverance this morning. That was a tough WOD (even with the transition “breaks”)…mental fortitude is certainly NOT one of your goats! 😉

      And congrats on your front squat (re)PR. Your form was solid!

    Hang Power Cleans

    8 Rounds + Muscle-Up #1

    Felt good, everything could have been a bit faster but I am happy with the result.
    HPC’s were heavy but manageable (thanks to Kevin’s mid-WOD tips!).

    Tough WOD, lots o’sweat, lots o’ fun with my fellow Nooners!

      1. Blake

        Thanks!
        So much technique to improve! It’s been a nice couple days to work on my “hang” lifts…not something I get a chance to do often!

    WOD:

    AMRAP 20 Mins
    5 Hang Power Cleans (155/105#) (@70% = 35#)
    1 Muscle-up (did 3 ring rows, 3 paralette dips)
    5 HSPU (did 10 HR push ups)
    1 Muscle-up (3 ring rows, 3 paralette dips)

    SCORE: 6 Rounds + 10 HR Push Ups

    A personal goal has been to move away from Ring Rows and get over my issue (whatever it is…) with pull ups. Tonight, I did pull ups in my Warm Up, using the black band. Mind you, I did 6, then finished with ring rows, then 4 and finished with ring rows, but the pull ups were in there. It’s a little thing but it was a breakthrough for me! Ha ha! 😀

    And thanks to Coach Ron for the great tips and encouragement! 🙂

    3. Kimmy

      I did CrossFit for one year before I got the guts to move away from ring rows and into the bands (with a small push from Jeff 🙂 ) that was 2 weeks ago. I have no idea what I was scared of. It is only going to get better from here so stick with it!!

      1. Robyn

        We did them in the prep course and that was the last time I tried them. I’m not sure what kept me from doing them. No, that’s not true – I had this paranoia that I’d fall or do something stupid while in the band and make a huge scene. 😀 Even today, I had to try them when everyone else was out of the warm up room. 😛

        I’m SUCH a dork… 😛

      2. Kimmy

        My sentiments exactly. My foot still shakes uncontrollably in the band sometimes when I over think it. I also was scared to move to a higher box for box jumps in case I fell. And I did. Several times. No big deal right. We’ll only get better the more we try!

      3. Robyn

        Yeah, I did a face plant the first time I did a 12″ box jump, so I quickly started telling myself that it would happen every time, so I HAD to stick with something smaller. Just recently, I started using the 12″ box jump. It was a huge step for me (pardon the pun). 😛

        It’s really all just a series of little victories, I think…

      4. jeff

        small push from jeff? I believe I had to tell you I’d bitch slap you if I ever saw you near those rings again? lol.. great job Kimmy, and you can do the same Robyn.

    No Strength…arrived a bit late, so rolled out some kinks with a lacrosse ball.

    WOD:
    20 min. AMRAP
    5 Hang Power Clean @ 75#
    3 pull up + 3 ring dips (no bands)
    5 HSPU with ab mat & 10# plate
    3 pull ups # 3 ring dips

    6 rounds + 5 HPC + 3 pull ups
    Not a big score, but happy to have done it without bands. Surprisingly, the pull ups felt good for a change. Ring dips, however, killed me on this one.

    Not feeling 100% today but exceeded my expectations for this WOD. Probably could have gone Rx on the HPC weight but it wasn’t feeling right tonight. I am going to keep working on moving down the bands on pull-ups and getting stronger with my dips.

    In Jan 2012, had 8 rounds + 3 pullups (in first round). Back then scaled to HRPUs(x2) and Pullups (3) + Ring Dips (x3). Today was a completely different workout because I scaled differently, so its hard to compare.

    Great job 5:45 crew! Fun class Coach Ron 🙂

      Oh, you are hooked!!! Happy to help with the tape. Too bad we didn’t do that BEFORE you ripped. 🙁
      Kevin has a video on hand care (which I am going to try to post here, if my brain can figure out how). Great advice for when your hands heal up.
