    10reps of shoulder press at 50%
    5 reps of shoulder press at 65 %
    5 reps of shoulder press at 75 %
    5 reps of shoulder press at 85 % - 55#

    Christine
    3 rounds of:
    500 m row
    12 reps of deadlift
    21 reps of 20 in box jump

    First time doing "Christine." I did 165# (RX )for the DL and finished in 12:34. My chest is still burning.

    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I may improve my shoulder press? I've literally been stuck at a 65# press since day one when everything else has gone up or improved significantly!! Thanks, all.

    Patience. It took me a year to squeeze out 10# increase in the press. It's got to be the most unforgiving movement out there.

    Wendler Strength Program
    Back Squat 5-5-5+
    65%-75%-85%
    165-190-215 (12 reps)
    Since I am starting back to squatting after my knee injury my coach and I decided to proceed as if 275 was my 1RM. I think this was a good call, better safe than sorry, and despite the fact that I got 12 reps on the last set it was quite difficult.

    WOD 5 RFT - 11:19
    20 F/R Lunges 45 lbs
    20 HR Push Ups
    This was super tough as well, my first time doing lunges in 3 months thanks to my knee injury. :s

    That seems like a real grinder.

    It sounds terrible but the elite guys at my box finished with times around 5 mins... It took me 12, but I lost a lot of time just trying to kick into a handstand (my goal each round was to just get into and hold a handstand which only happened in round 1)

    Last night we did "Gwen" which is clean and jerk and the rep scheme is 15-12-9. It is not for time. The catch is that once you start a round you can't take your hands off the bar or rest the bar on the ground. If you drop the bar you have to do the round all over again.

    I used 95 lbs for the weight and I think that was perfect for me. It was tougher than I thought it was going to be, especially the last few reps in the first and second rounds.

    Yesterday was the hardest CF workout I've ever done. We did 4 girls in a row to celebrate my coach's birthday. He was born in 1986:

    1 round Diane (21 DLS/21 HSPU) --subbed a 21s HS hold (4 min time cap)
    9 min time cap Elizabeth (21-15-9 cleans/dips)
    8 min time cap Fran (21-15-9 thruster/pullups) subbed KBS for thrusters
    6 min time cap Karen (150 wallballs) did 55 w/14# ball

    Last night we did the Hero WOD "Sean" which is:
    10 RFT
    11 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
    22 Front Squats 75/45

    I went with 45 lbs and finished in 27:10. My calf cramped up really bad with two rounds left but my coach helped me get it back to normal so I could finish. The good news is that for once I did not rip my hands on the pull-ups. Usually when we have high rep pull-ups in a WOD my hands get torn up.

    Holy crap, that sounds miserable.

    I was pretty happy that I got 21 unbroken DLs @155 but it all went downhill from there LOL. I was doing the wallballs 5 at a time and sucking wind in between each set. It's definitely the most wall balls I've ever done with the 14# ball (when I started I used 10# and then 12#). The shoulder issue I'm having that required some subs was a boon because KBS are way easier than thrusters.

    Thanks to the Hero WOD from Wednesday (Sean) I am sore from my mid chest all the way around to my back. I don't think I have even been sore in this area before...but I don't think I have ever done 110 pull ups before so that is probably why...
