Warm-up:
Spend 6-8 minutes working on overhead position with Trigger point balls only (don’t go hide by the rubber bands on the pull-up bar!) Then execute the following for five minutes, adding load to the bar progressively until at work-weight:
2 shoulder press,
3 push-press,
4 Push-Jerk
Workout:
“Jack“
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
115 pound Push press, 10 reps
10 KB Swings, 1.5 pood
10 Box jumps, 24 inch box
Compare to 100929.
Cool-down:
6-8 minutes time spent applying the trigger point ball to the low back bits. (sit on it)

8 rounds at 95lbs
Glad to be back after the flu.
9+9 rx’d
PR by 1 rnd + 9 reps, and last time we used racks instead of cleaning from the ground as we did today.
Thanks to Tracy for reminding me to dip into the next PP as I was bringing the weight down each time. No idea why I don’t remember those simple things that can make huge differences.
The Book sounds very interesting. It would be great to read and discuss as a group!
WOD: 8Rnds @ 50# & 20″
The push press was VERY hard on my lower back towards the last half of the WOD. Lots of heat and stretching tonight!
At home today and not very motivated. 8+6 as rx’d. LOTS of room to improve!
Oh! I forgot. I had to use a 35lb dumbbell vs 1 pood kettlebell, if that matters.
10 rds + 17 @ 85#
7+5 as rx’d … heavy for me w/o the best form, but I needed a heavy one to challenge me mentally to prep for Fran… 65# will feel light! (Ya right!)
Way to push through it!! Glad you didn’t stick with 65# !!
8+6 @45#, 1 pood KB, and 18″ box…20″ box still scares me, haha
8 + 22 (scaled to 55#, 20″)
8 rds +21 as rx’ed
PR by 1rd +14 (from the last Jack in October), but like Tye said, it was a little different last time. Women’s rx’ed weight last time was 85# in addition to PP being from the racks.
I think the soreness of Murph is creeping in.
Soreness from Murph has certainly started sitting in, could also be from my dumbarse not taking a day off for 8 days.
Is it ok for me to come in during the 6 am class and do some rowing for some active rest?
Concur: 8 days in a row = dumbass.
Sorry Tye, couldn’t let that one pass.
As for sore, I’m hating on the stairs today. “Jack” would have killed me.
7 rounds, scaled to 55#.
I did all seven rounds on the 24″ box though…first time ever jumping 24″!
Good job! That 4″ makes a huge difference… glad you took the plunge!
