Monday
2 sets only (ran out of time on the third but needed to save something for the metcon):
5 pistols/leg (holding red band for first, then to 20″ box for the second... a little too easy)
10 deadhangs (red band for first, then blue band for second... tough)
20 push ups on knees (watch out for worming)
Metcon: DNF (9 rds + 7 KBS) at 70# PJ, 44# KBS
Rope broke again! KBSes destroyed my forearms and made the PJs so much harder. I just couldn’t get through that last round of KBSes or I would’ve been home free with those last 12 DUs. Another 30 seconds and I would have gotten it!
Kurt's advice was to fight to get external rotation (elbows out) for a safer overhead lift.
Post – No arms left.
Tuesday CFCE at home
4min/2min/1min/2min/4min
891/452/224/438/866 (Total = 2871m)
11.6
I had it in my head that I was going to do unbanded kipping regular pullups. I was ready to give them a whirl!
Completed the round of 12 plus 12 thrusters at 55#
I wanted to go 65# but a little too nervous about it so I checked that ego and went with 55#. I think that was the right weight for me in retrospect. I don't have a record of doing thrusters in a WOD using more than 53# so that made me really happy! Oh, and those unbanded pullups felt really. Pretty broken but that's okay! Rx'ed Fran, here I come!
Much thanks to JJ for helping me through this!
Olympic Snatch 1RM
Snatch 1RM: 75# (80# fx5+)
I need to work on a few things... first, I need to get used that kind of weight on my shoulders in a snatch grip so I need to work on things like OHS and snatch balance. 75# went up real easy but my form totally broke down at 80#. Things to note:
- Finish my pull and fully open hips
- Stack bar a little more behind instead of chasing it out front
- A slightly wider grip than I had been using

Open WOD 11.3
Reading everybody's post on the blog really inspired me to give this a shot rx'ed. 110# is a lot of weight for me, especially after my hiatus, and I just wasn't sure I could do it. Then, I looked up to see what I've done in the past
Squat clean PR: 115# (10/26/10)
C&J PR: 105# (10/26/10)
Jerk PR: 110# (9/28/10)
I know it's been a while but I've done it before and I've been back at CF for a month or so now and I've been feeling a little stronger. I thought... I could do this! I was giddy and nervous for a good chunk of the afternoon.
Open WOD 11.3
1 C&J and 1 clean!
After a 5 minute break, went at it again with 85#: 11 C&J and 1 clean
Yay for 5# PR! Huge thanks to JJ for coming to talk me through this and count for me. Also thanks to Bryce, Glenn, and Rudy for pointing out flaws with my form and also Val for sticking around to cheer me on. It felt great.
The thing is, I did another 4 squat cleans but never got another jerk. I failed because I was scared of dropping the bar on my head. But if I just believed that I could do it and throw it up with active shoulders and push my head forward, it would have worked out! I needed to get lower, I knew that much... but I definitely was jerking the bar plenty high enough.
Neck's a little stiff right now but I am really happy with the result. It was really encouraging when Bryce said to me, "If you think you can do this, I want you to try." You can't fight what you want to do!

Open WOD 11.2
Last week's WODs early in the week pretty much messed up my traps so I didn't get this one in until Friday.
Open WOD 11.2
15 min AMRAP
9 DLs @ 100#
12 push ups (on knees with hand release at the bottom)
15 box jumps on 20"
8 rounds + 12 push ups
Back was sore for a few days. Would work out today but tweaked my neck sleeping last night. I have no idea how to fix that as it feels like a pinched nerve more than a muscle soreness.
