Weightlifting
A. Every :90 perform 1 snatch
If you miss a weight DO NOT add weight. If it is a sloppy lift – DO NOT add weight. This isn’t necessarily a one rep max day. If things are moving slowly, absolutely go for it. But if not, drop weight and build back up.
B. Back Squat, 4×8, then 1×10
Building up to an 8 RM in the 4 sets and then drop back to 85-95% of that for your set of 10

*Fastest time I saw – 11:20
A. 145, 155, 165(x), 165, 175, 185
165 was a foolish sticking point weight today. I missed it and the second attempt was not clean. 175 and 185 were fine
B. Wasn’t sure how these were going to go today but happy to report not pain.
1×8 for these: 185, 205, 225, 245
1×10: 225
C. Still can’t jump and running is a bit problematic. Joe asked, “What do you have to gain by doing this workout except further causing problems?” And so I put my jump rope back.
I did a full range workout which looked very close to a Train Heroic kind of workout:
3×3 min row @ 3-4 seconds slower than your 2K pace (that puts me a 1:58)
Minute 1: stroke rate at 20 s/m
Min 2: stroke rate 24 s/m
Min 3: 26 s/m
Rest/walk 1 minute between sets
I have done a fair share of work with stroke rates so felt comfortable with the prescribed rates.
761m covered @ 1:58.2.
765m covered @ 1:57.6
760m covered @ 1:58.4
These were all pretty manageable.
Finished with EMOM 5: 10s AB sprint+10 GHD situps
Sprints were not 100% all out. Lived in the high 80s/low 90s for RPMs
A) 145-155-165-175-185-195 failed 5 times
145 to 185 all felt clean and solid. I went against instructions with 195 but I really felt like I could hit it today. My last two attempts were as close as I’ve ever been – just need to man up and lock my arms out more aggressively
B) done after the workout
215×8
230×8
245×8 with belt
260×8 with belt
245×10 with belt
my best set of 8 was 265 back in March. last two reps at 260 and the 245×10 were challenging
c) 13:15
There was some good and some bad in this one today.. The good – I did 100 DU ub for the first time ever. Honestly never thought I’d be able to do that. Tripped on every set of DUs after that but I don’t even care. The bad – I came in thinking I was done at 9:33…walked over to the whiteboard surprised at how fast I finished…then realized I completely skipped the round of 80 DUs and 40 sit ups. Went back and did that round beginning around the 10:00 mark or so. Dumb mistake
A) 115-135-145-155-160-165-175-185f
These felt ok today. Started to feel the left bicep fire up after 155 set so didn’t push to much after that
B) 225-255-295-315×8
275×10
C) 12:50
Du unbroken besides set of 60. 1 trip in that set. The rest of the wod UB. Pushed the runs fast sit ups
