27:48 scaled to 25 PVC OHS per round
I am awful at overhead squats. I threw in a few with a 45# bar each round, but I had a lot of trouble staying on my heels while keeping the weight overhead. Lots of room for improvement here.
23:32 scaled to #55, for better form. It is harder than I thought it would be to RUN after all those squats. When my hip flexors FINALLY loosened up during the run, the 400 was almost over and then I had to squat again. OUCH.
Still very poor at this movement. Scaled the workout to 25 OHS per round. Did first two rounds with 65 lbs. Dropped to 45 lbs per Russell’s instruction on round three and then up to 55 lbs on rounds four and five. Weight really didn’t matter too much, as my flexibility seems to be the issue. Back keeps rounding and shoulders don’t feel right. These workouts are always disappointing, because I can’t do the movements correctly.
Scaled 26:15, maybe doing two of the OHS correctly.
SCALED…no snatch/ 55# ohs x 25 with 400meter run. 4 rounds then ran to pick up my little man at school.
Also, I was tardy to class…:( Something is better than nothing, I suppose.
Went to HHS track to make up yesterday’s WOD. It sucked. Being pregnant makes things hard. I was waaaay slower than normal and ended up doing 400m in between each 800m for some reason. Probably made the 800s slower but felt right at the time.
Kevin,
Yeah, It’d be nice if it worked that way (swollen knee thing), but it doesn’t unless your really deconditioned. Obese and/or sedentary folks will see significant improvement in knee pain and swelling with functional movement. The difficulty is convincing them to get off the couch.
But, if your klowe… snatch, OHS and runs. Not smart if your knee’s pissed off.
Squat, Push up, Pull up, Sit up medley from last week: 34:24
Sub’d PVC Goodmornings for the Squats and did 50 extra sit ups.
About half way through Russell deemed my sit ups unworthy of being counted.
Scaled-PVCx25-30:54
Even scaled down to PVC this was a sucky WOD. Don’t know what it is, just haven’t felt up to par the last 3 days
on…..maybe it was the over indulgence of chocolate over the weekend….
Oh well, maybe Wednesday will be a good day!!!
22:37
I couldn’t land the full snatch, so i had to do power snatch with a full squat for each rep.
Not looking forward to this. OHS with a 35# bar is difficult for me. #95 is next to impossible.

Not that this is suprising but here is some data on sugar, and sodas. I call them calorie vampires…but interesting.

Damn. Another come up with something else day.
Just as long as the something else isn’t Halloween candy eating…..
16:01 as Rx’d. Still need to work on staying on my heels at the bottom of my OHS.
Great Job!!!
22:56 as rx’d
23:36 @ 45#
25:55 as rx’d
20:20 scaled
45# on first couple of rounds, dropped to 35# on the rest of the rounds because of pain in wrists.

Scaled to PVC and 25OHS / round and. 500m row.
Shoulder pain and poor OHS squat frm turned this into a form workout for me.
Not timed.
Ugggghh….OHS….21:35 scaled to 35# and no snatches in rounds 3, 4 and 5 per Russell. Lots of toes in this workout.

I thought working out on a swollen knee would help to make the joint fluid resorb……I was wrong.
At the NASA Gym today, and I suck at both the snatch and OHS so I did some form work on those and did the WOD scaled to 25 OHS w/ pvc.
17:27
28:59
First 3 1/2 rounds as Rx’d, then dropped to 75# for the rest to focus on form. OHS needs a lot of work.
Sprint 4 x 100 meters (30 secs rest)
30 Push Presses 155 lbs
Sprint 4 x 100 meters (30 secs rest)

PVC work on this! Went up to the 30:00 cuttoff… I think I did 60 OHS and 4 runs.
31:09 45# on rounds 1,4,&5; 35# on rounds 2&3. Had a hard time staying on my heels on the overhead squat, as always.
Tonight, 5K run. Not Timed.
