    No strength -> Double under practice

    WOD:
    4 Rounds
    20-15-10-5 V-ups
    150-150-150-150 Single unders

    Time: 9:38

    Was feeling very uncoordinated today, I had trouble stringing together 10+ singles for quite a while -.-

    1. Lora

      Some days are DU-friendly….others, not so much. Nice time on the WOD. You are making great progress Adam.

  3. Gabriel

    WUx1
    2 min of Skipping

    Strength – Cleans X5
    115-135-155-165-175
    then x1 185-195-205-215(f)-215(f)
    205 was my previous PR done as a squat clean but today did it as a Power Clean and felt easy.
    215 unable to mentally get under the bar for a squat clean thus the fail.

    WOD as Rx’d

    20-15-10-5

    Great work this morning guys and gals!

    1. Lora

      Sometimes on those max lifts, my biggest challenge is with my mental ability, not my physical strength. You will get that 215# next time Gabe! Believe it πŸ™‚ Great work on the WOD too (all that at 6am? Hats off to you!)

    Practiced v-snaps before the workout, I need to incorporate these in my WU from now on…

  10. Lora

    On the topic of journal entry; one other very helpful piece of information to include is anything your coach has suggested you work on. This helps you as an athlete when that movement comes around again, and it also helps your coach. For example: if you need more hip extention on cleans/jerks/snatches, if they remind your to push your knees out when squatting or to keep your heels on the floor on your dip, etc.. Those are but a few of the more common cues you may hear and are all very important in helping you reach your goals. πŸ™‚

    1. Tania

      That is a good idea Lora, sometimes it’s hard to remember those details by the time you get back to that strength.
