What. Was. That?! 19.3 - 10 min time cap to complete: - 200 ft overhead/front rack lunge (50/35) - 50 DB box step-ups (50 @24'/35 @20') - 50 strict HSPU (with reduced ROM on scaled options) - 200ft handstand walk/bear crawl I'd never been able to do a handstand kick up until yesterday. I prepared for it. Looked up youtube…

Oh, that sucks. Being easy on your knee is probably a wise decision. I do hope you recover soon! I went and redid it and got 347 this time. 1 rep (about 15 seconds i'd say) short of an almost free 75 reps D: I would not have been able to lift 135lbs tho. I actually tried. Twice xD You live and learn. Hopefully next time I…

Two more workouts in the bin, they sucked. Was not able to hit my rep goals and I just feel super weak overall, and not like doing any conditioning whatsoever, too. And that is despite getting more sleep this week than I had been in a long, long time :/ Wednesday: Squats - weird story about this. The mirror in front of me…

Hey guys. I haven't been around these parts lately, so I figured I'd drop in real quick. Things have been... not really hectic, but definitely stressful and mentally exhausting, so checking in just hasn't been a priority. Maybe I should though, as I haven't been having the greatest consistency or energy to hit the workouts…

First of all, welcome to the group! It's always nice to see new faces! But what you said here worries me a bit. Do make sure you keep your shoulder blades pulled back and down when deadlifting. There should not be any pull on the shoulders themselves if the upper back is engaged. If you're having trouble keeping the back…

Apologies for the lack of checking in. I've been busy and then down with a pretty mean cold after I went for a 7.5k run on saturday and let allergies get the best of me... I went on Sunday and probably pushed too hard considering my condition, thinking the allergies hadn't morphed into anything bad... Until I was done and…

Phew! Had a complete rest day yesterday (aside from walking, some stairs, and a 20 min romwod), and it was very needed. Back at it this morning with this tasty set-up First part was my own add-on: 3 stop clean pull (basically a clean grip deadlift where you stop just below the knee, just above the knee in the normal hang…

Two more training sessions in! Wednesday every 5 min x3 rounds, as fast as possible (think sprint) - 5 deadlifts @ 205lbs - 20 burpees over bar 1: 2:30, 2: 2:45, 3: 2:50 Ideally you'd want to keep all rounds to about the same speed, but 20 burpees gases me out. So bad! And then more deadlifts... I tried! I swear! Then I…

Haha, yep, beat me to it. Sometimes I forget not everyone has been around for months, I should explain the abbreviations once in every thread, lol! To be fair, EMOM or EMOTMs are usually more about power/strength than endurance, so they're less barfy-feely than the beep test. Which I used to only be able to last for like,…

I wanted absolutely nothing to do with running today, even though I'd been thinking I should do it this morning all week. I had my stuff on but lagged with doing other things this morning and ended up not having the time. So I went at lunch. Despite not wanting to. I was wearing my "HSTL Made" leggings, there was no way I…

I get hip pain from just having my period, so I can only imagine how bad pregnancy would feel. I don,t think that's ever in the cards for me! xD Ooh, I love when the town gets the festive, especially when it's about exercise stuff. Like, I always get super hyped just seeing the crossfit games, or going to a competition, I…

Well, I was right about today being something! Geez! Took me 40 minutes to warm-up to the proper weights for everything. With a 22 min time cap, perform 3 rounds of - deadlift x5 (185lbs) - back squat x5 (145lbs) - strict OHP x5 (75lbs) - strict pull-up x10 (assisted with ~80lbs) - burpees x20 *** kicker: only allowed to…

Have not reported for a few days again, but I've been keeping busy for sure! Thursday 24th Squats 125x5, 135x5, 145x5 (yeah, I was feeling a bit stronger, haha) I think I did something core-related in between sets, but now I can't recall and I don't have my log with me Then I alternated Deadlifts 185x5 195x5, 205x5 OHP…

Welcome to the group! I hope you the strength gains to help your practice, but do monitor your body as best you can and don't overdo it. 6 days a week + 3 days a week lifting might be a lot. Make sure you eat enough to support that activity level :) So I went back to the gym yesterday and did SL workout A, kind of (see,…

Woot! I've managed a set of 25 unbroken TWICE (and 1 or 2 sets of 20, too) since the last time I posted, so I'm quite proud of myself as well :) Had to take a bit of a break this past week though, as I had a Spartan-like race to run last weekend, and the steepness bricked my calves and ankles. I tried to jump a bit…

I ran the xman race yesterday (similar in level to a spartan sprint, I guess? 7.5km, high elevation, 40ish obstacles, biggest difference is penalties are usually extra running loops, not burpees). Finished with a time of 4:11:54.8, 2436th out of 2477. My everything feels sore today. I *know* passed a few people along the…

I seem to be reporting every 3 days or so lately, haha. I did go to the gym on Tuesday. Was a little beat up and it showed. I started out with some snatch practice. My idea was to work up to a heavy rep, but some guy I've been seeing more and more at the gym came over to me and told me I was pulling too early / not making…

Whew! Quite weekend I had Saturday lifting: 3 min AMRAPs with 1 min rest between each: - push-ups (30) - bw squat (62 - yes, that is awfully low. I ran on friday, tho) - band-assisted pull-ups (24? I think?) - burpees (27) 400m run: 2:18 -- treadmills make it hard to really push the pace. I started too slow and couldn't…

More running in the books, because OCR comin' up (and also, I'm like, trying to lose weight for real right now xD I'm even tracking!). Short and sweet runkeeper intervals. 4 mins "fast" (it went faster the more I got into it, because I stupidly spent my 5 mins "warmup" by, like, actually warming up my body, instead of…

Today was more of a strength focus day, and it's good cuz I didn't have a ton of energy. It was hard to wake up at 5. Storms kept me up last night :/ every 90s x 5 rounds of each - 3 strict barbell OHP (75, 77.5, 80, 80, 82.5 all good) - 10 KB american swings @40lbs (these were... a bit too easy. And the program said to…

It's this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Attack-Speed-Jump-WOD-Nation/dp/B06XNNY73K/ref=sr_1_sc_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1533744103&sr=8-4-spell&keywords=wodnation I would assume the WODNation basic speed rope (which has a bearing more similar to the rogue rope)…

Looks like the hills did me in a bit for today, as my squats felt like crap and i almost failed my last warm-up set @135 O_o The workout: Every 2 mins x20 mins 1- Back squat x5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (135, 140, 145, 155, 170) 2- Pull-ups (band assisted, submax reps) 5, 4, added some resistance, 8, 7, 7 Then I did 5 rounds of -1 lying…

Oh yeah, I have had days where those whipmarks were very aggressive! My "proud of" moment today is also about double-unders. Back in March I could hardly string 2 of them together. Today I managed a set of 25 unbroken, and followed it up with a set of 20! https://www.instagram.com/p/BmN7P8AhLkr/ I think if i could get the…

Haven't reported my past few workouts. Things have been busy, as per usual, haha. Saturday This one was called the "Triple Peak", let me tell you, it's a doozy! For time (and quality), complete 2, 4, 6, 4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 6, 4, 2, 4, 6, 4, 2 reps of double KB - Deadlifts - swings - front squats - thrusters sets of 2 were…

I'm all kinds of beaten up these days, and even after yesterday's rest day I wasn't feeling awesome this morning. But when the program tells you to test your power lifts, uh-yah test yer power lifts! (Not to be confused with the lifts of powerlifting, lol) Power snatch 65x3, 75x2, 85x1, 90x1, 95xfail (I think I misgrooved,…

More lifting happened over the past 2 days. However my brain is in a puddle so I'm not 100% sure what all I did yesterday anymore. Something along the lines of: For time (12 min cap): - 20, 15, 10, 5 front squats @95lbs - 5, 10, 15, 20 pike presses with feet on a 45# bumper (just to say I was a bit elevated). I made it…

It *is* posible, to a certain degree, which is dependent on how much muscle you already have, and how much fat you have to lose. The more muscle and the less fat you have, the longer the process will be. Which is why people get caught up in bulk/cut cycles, even though they tend to suck when thinking of longevity and…

Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been run into the ground and was less than happy about my results and couldn't be bothered to try to type 'em out. Last Monday I did: - 3 barbell squat clean thrusters @ 85lbs + 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rounds of: - 2 pull-ups - 3 pike press (feet elevated) - 4 burpees over bar (so 3 clusters, 5…

Ran a 4k in like 31 minutes at lunch yesterday. Happy to say I did NOT stop once, and could've kept going a bit, even! :) Today was a gruesome one. Mainly on my hands xD 100 barbell thrusters for time, 10 min CAP. 45lbs. I got 98. Shredded the outside of BOTH my thumbs in the process, because friction :/ then 100 knees to…

A little late reporting, but I ended up doing Netflix and chill for episodes in the only room in my apartment that had AC (it was above 110 with the humidity outside, about 78-83 in the room because unit couldn't keep up), out with a concussion. Good times.
