Welcome to the 6am family, Sandy. You were a little too chipper for us this morning, but we hope to see you tomorrow. A true CFM legend.
This one really took a lot out of me. DLs to OHS is rough. I did rx’d through about 14 OHS and then went down to 115#.
15:19
Rest day. But I think of my 6 AM all day long…
10:40 @ 95#. Very happy about this. Thank you so much for the strategy, EROC! EROC told me to rest with the bar on my shoulders. I never thought to do that on OHS but it worked great. Observations:
1. You save tons of energy not bringing it up from the ground.
2. You rest less because it’s not pleasant having that weight on your back
3. My deadlifts were dead after doing this. I had to break up the set of 15.
I believe it took me 3 sets to do OHS round 1 and 2 and the last unbroken with Mike and EROC cheering me on! YOU’VE GOT TO BELIEVE!!!
WHAT TIME IS IT?

We will have a sign up for 10 minute consultations after the session. Sign up for the consult will be available that morning, so be sure to get in a little early to get on the list.

Fall has officially begun and everyone has returned from their awesome vacations! Just a note, our 6AM classes and 630PM sessions are our most popular. Come and check out our other sessions if you haven’t had a chance to yet. The schedule is pretty robust and it would help alleviate any traffic jams on equipment and maybe score you a few more seconds less on your WODs

DL’s @ 225
OHS’s @ 45
It is unreal how heavy the deadlifts got after the first round of OHS. 21 unbroken first round, then I was doing sets of 5.
Had the first effects from the nutrition challenge….. I slept like a damn rock for the first time in months.
Rest day for my shoulder and lower back. May do some hill sprints after work.
Thanks for welcoming me to your family, Jared. I think I’m more like the reluctant stepchild though. Doesn’t matter what time of the day it is, I will never have that amount of energy….For those of you that have never been, it’s worth a visit just to see these crazyheads. AVA’s two posts above pretty much sum up what it feels like to work out next to him.
12:08
155#DL, 75#OHS
(first time doing 75#OHS in a wod…thanks for making me do them unbroken at the end Eroc)
oh, and Carducci is on Team Two for the Throwdown. Just sayin.
Yay to consultations with Dr. Mike. Need to get this back thing under control!
That said, and given this WOD, rest day for me.
Hey all,
One of our team members had to drop out of the CMC race for Saturday…Our team name is Chocolate Thunder and the Pink Tacos….so if there are any people who might fit the description, let us know. You can join our awesome team for free (except for the cost of an even more awesome t-shirt). Email me: sandywang11@gmail.com.
xo,
Sass
11:31
125# DLs
53# OHS then dropped to 43# for the 15 and the 9
As per ALLISONNYC, dropped weght so I could squat lower with my big round butt!!!
that was brutal so early in the morning! I don’t know how you guys do it at 6am everyday.
13:41
125 DLS
43 OHS
I had plans to go heavier on OHS, but didnt feel stable enough during warm up to do it. They did end up feeling better as the WOD went on.
Thanks for putting me on the spot Sandy. Now I have to show up. I will do my best not to disappoint.
16:12
Wasted a lot of time trying to Rx the OHS but finally went down to 115#.
11:57 rx’d
Ohs are still my weak link. Nice job Ej and Amylynne!
Should have listened to body and take rest day.
13:25
Deads 133
Ohs 68 (started at 83 but after 12 kept failing…couldn’t find 5s to drop to 73 so grabbed whatever I could find and ended up at 68)
DNF
DL – 225lbs
OHS – 125lbs
Mad at myself for not finishing this. I completed 5 reps of OHS into the last round of 9 and had nothing left in the tank to finish. Need to improve on my overhead strength. The deads at 225 were no problem.
Thank you all 6:30 members for all the encouragement! What an awesome group of people
13:06
150# deads (just couldn’t get those last 5 lbs on)
35#/25# OHS
Really trying.
Great job 5:30! Everyone did super awesome.

Just glad to be squatting again. Those DLs were rough today.

Whoops, 75#
14:53
95 OHS/225 DL
Awesome effort by Tommy leaving it all on the field (er, rubber mats?) at the end of the WOD.
Dr. Mike said keep it light. So i did:
9:49
135# Deads
75# front squats. can go heavier but didn’t feel comfortable cleaning more than that – trying to be safe.
Tommy Gun!! So much inspiration we all thought we were at the 6am class!
14:06
125lb deads
53lb OHS
OHS felt easier than deads…
13:15
115lb deadlift
65lb overhead squats
13:50, 155/75
got to fly solo in the 8:30 with 2 of the best, Davey & EJ. Thanks for the tips and the cheers.
Rest day & Dr. Mike tomorrow, CMC Saturday!

115/32
First time overhead squatting-really difficult, but so worth it.
Wonderful coaching from Dave and EJ- thank you!!
13:06
145# DL
53# OHS
form, form, form! it needs to improve!
Subbed real deads for light ones plus back extension with 15# plate. First time doing deads, if you can call it that, in three seasons.
10 something.
AVA, you are a true nerd.
6am cult: I tried to join one morning, but I had wrongly picked yoga Wednesday. There were maybe two other people there. Don’t know if I can ever pull that off again after that disappointment.
15:10
145 DL/52 OHS
11:22 rxd
115# OHS
14:50
was annoyed my oh squats were not feeling great at the beginning and was doing sets of 5 but realized my hands were so sweaty and slipping on the bar each rep making it 10x worse.. chalked up and I felt strong and they were easy…. I am ready for the winter in the gym, this is definitely 2 minutes slower than it should have taken with better chalked up hands!
15:09
155# DL, 75# OHS
awesome coaching my EJ and dave! thanks for making me go heavier on the OHS
