    I did this in April but don’t remember my time or weight. Needs to adopt the stupid thumb grip for forearm preservation
    Also I didn’t realize we were doing wall balls to catch Gabe. Good idea Adam and good show. I’m trying to catch gabe at anything. Perhaps wall balls is a good start

    So went it there, crushed it all unbroken in 7:55… Riiiight!!! Let me tell you what actually happened.

    it was a nightmare, my grip just wouldn’t let me do more than 3 hpc’s after the second round and was so gassed had to take multiple breaks.

    Actual Time: ~11:14

    Hero Month! best month of the year! 😀
    Thanks Maria.

    Time Rx’d= 9:59 (3 sec PR) that was awful, after almost 2 weeks off I don’t know how I got 3 sec PR as my body wanted to stop every single rep, never taking time off again haha 🙂

    DT @ 75#
    Time – 6:09

    I was going to round up my 65% and do 85# but felt a weird twinge in my right shoulder on the jerks…but it wasn’t there if I rounded down and did 75#. Glad I went with it, it felt tough, and killed my grip, but didn’t kill my shoulders as bad as it could have.

    Forced breaks (after deadlift 11 rounds 2, 3, 4 and 5) for ~25 seconds massively helped my grip feel pretty good until the very last set of jerks. At that point I was able to just push through it. This felt pretty good!

  14. Great newsletter, Remi I am glad you found CFM, your dedication and work ethics are addictive!! Always fun training with you. You always give it your all!!

    Thanks for doing this with me Steph and thanks for the push at the end Marcel!

    Awesome newsletter Remi!

    Hated this wod just as much as last time…

    1. No, I hated it because my forearms and hands felt like they were going to fall off and I couldn’t follow the rep / break scheme suggested.
      Your bar creeping in to my space just kept me on my toes 😉

    Thank God for the massage I had yesterday, only reason I could get through this WOD. Solid effort from everyone tonight, thanks for the class Steph. I think I did 30 burpees, not much of a pizza delivery guy I guess…

    1. Apparently in 2010 there was no cap since this WOD took me 23:10, but I have done it since with more weight so no PR.

  22. 3 Dead Lifts
    2 HP Cleans
    1 Push Jerk
    55-65-75

    WOD: DT
    5 Rounds @ 75#
    12 Dead Lifts
    9 HP Cleans
    6 Push Jerks
    Time: 11:55

    HP Cleans were the worsts part. Otherwise, not bad. My breaks were too long though. I love bar bell WODs!

    My last time doing this was in 2012 with a time of 9 minutes something, so no PR by a long shot. Since I am now WELL OVER 30, which according to today’s news letter makes me an “old” CrossFitter, I guess it’s to be expected 🙂

    Loved reading Remi’s CF journey. Congrats on your progress. You always give ‘er 110%

  23. Incredible newsletter Remi, one of the best things I’ve ever read — “Bring whatever energy you have for the day and try to leave the box with nothing.”

  24. Loved the newsletter too Remi! You are a force and you walk the talk. I am looking forward to row-u-ary again so we can get in some long chats!
