5x 95-105-115-125. Only 40# off my PR. lol. I’ve got some work to do to get my strength back to where it was.
Nice sharing the bar with you Joey, and nice to meet you!
WOD rx’d: I think my time was around 14:15. I didn’t really care what the time was, I was just happy to finish it in the time cap. I was really dizzy from the KBs so I just tried to keep a steady pace throughout, even though it was slow. Thanks for the heckling, Blake. You kept me moving. 🙂
Good job on your pullups Heidi! And Sarah, congrats on the band progression. You’re well on your way to bandless pullups. 🙂
Great class Lora, thanks!
Nice push on the WOD. I didn’t know you were dizzy 🙁 You cranked out the last round of pullups like your life depended on it. Great job!
Heckling? Whatever are you talking about??
Way to push through the post-vacation fog!

Thanks Lora great coaching and great class. Good work everybody
Nice work today! Thanks for accepting the “challenge”. You rocked it!. Glad the mobility for your chest/shoulder helped. Try to do that every few days, if you can.
Nice time and heavy KBS!
Huge effort from everyone today! You all made me proud!
I saw lots of work on finding (and maintaining) great form on your lifts during “strength”.
Some folks opted for lacrosse ball work and foam rolling to work out the kinks. Always a smart thing to do, particularly when you are stiff and sore.
Thanks to those who accepted the challenge to do C2B pullups (and to add extra weight to your kettle bells). Its official: YOU are crazier than ME! 😛
I don’t know about crazier but u are a great inspiration whenever u tackle a Wod so it’s fun to do the same for u when u put out a challenge. 🙂
