Ooolala! Lookin’ good!
It’s just like carrying groceries, right, Brandy?!
__________
If you show up early…. FOAM ROLL until it’s time for the warm-up!!!!
__________
Warm-Up of the Week #1:
1. 400m Run
2. 2 x 10 of Each: (8 Minute Cap):
- Arm Circles, Across & Backs, Leg Swings, Walking Lunges with a Twist, Back Extensions, Wall Squats
3. Spend 3 Minutes on Handstand or HSPU practice. - Kick up & support practice, partner assisted negatives or HSPU’s or Strict Reps of HSPUs to get in volume.
** We’ll do this Warm-Up every day this week. On Monday we’ll have a new Warm-Up of the Week. The week after we will repeat this one. The idea is to have consistent practice on a skill (this week it’s handstands) and to have more efficient warm-ups. **
__________
Strength WOD:
15 – 20 Minutes to work up to a 1RM Back Squat
…..
Immediately After
…..
15 – 20 Minutes to work up to a 1RM Split Jerk
(If you have technical issues, we’ll work with lighter weights and higher reps to dial it in)
__________
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Belated Happy Birthday to Big Mike – a guy who makes everyone around him better. Great to have you back.
Fun day. Got right down to business…
-1 minute HS hold against the wall (PR)
-185 BS (PR)
-145 SJ (PR)
Back – 280(PR). 265 was previous 1RM from 6/18/12.
Split Jerk – 205(PR). 200 was previous 1RM from 5/22/12.
BS: 160
Split jerk: 118 (but so excited I locked out and got low that I dumped the bar prior to standing up. As Marilina said, glee turned to horror. I won’t repeat what Allison said but boy am I a dope!!!)
HA! You know I think you’re the coolest.. but geeze! It’s okay though because soon we’ll do them again and then we’ll be getting you into the 120s.
The 118 looked easier than the 113 and 108.. It was all about the landing and you made it happen.
Stoked for everyone who got a PR this morning and for everyone who made some technical progress. Enjoy it!
BS:
SJ: 73
My last week of morning WODs
Squat: 355, Power jerk: 255
Caught some squats on video that I can post later. Hopefully we can get some video of others who want to check their technique or are just doing something sick.
BS: 145 PR Thanks to Nico & Amylynne for the push to go heavier.
SJ: Spent most of the time at 43# working on technique; then 48# for the last two sets. Allison, awesome coaching! I think I finally feel how this lift should go.
BS: 168 (up from 135
)
SJ: 98 still working on confidence
Thanks for a great class, Allison
Still nursing my butt / hammy from handstand attempt on Sat.
Sad I missed 6am’ers today.
Will try to ease my way back in tmrw!
Active rest day as my Body felt like it got hit by a bus from this weekends workouts.
Ran the loop in CP, really tried to stretch things out. I honestly think the one thing that is going to mess with me at the NYC marathon are my hammy’s. Need to keep stretching a lot more.
BS: 185 PR I think I could have cleared 190# but decided to go straight to 195# and had Allison help me on the way up.
SJ: Spent most of the time at 95# working on technique (second time trying this lift). The first time I tried this lift, I could not even get one with the empty barbell so happy with the progress so far.
Like Sara, thanks Allison for the awesome coaching! Now, I think I know how this lift should feel.
BS: 245 (PR)
SJ: 125 (PR)
Worked up to a nice heavy single.
185-195-225-225-230-235. All clean good reps. Not sure I had alot more in me, but the depth was spot on.
Got up to 155 on the Jerk, and stayed there.
I really missed my crew. It was great to be back this morning.

19.50 Was at a temporary box since they’re moving into a huge new facility. Pretty good coaching if I do say so myself, although i’ll admit i understood about 32% of it.
Can anyone help me out to walk Benny either Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday afternoon? Let me know. Would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Brooke
