@E
I love o-lifting videos…the hip and ankle flexibility on some of those dudes is just awesome…I’ll bring my Ironmind videos in if you want to borrow them and see some ridiculous lifting in the training hall (like stefan botev snatching close to 400# for a double and squatting 700# for reps)…awesome video, soundtrack sucks…

tomorrow’s WOD…f%*k yeah!

@E
LOL!

Melisa..you look AWESOME!!!

That’s not me, that’s Mich! lol

A1. 155;165;175;190 unbroken
A2. only had 1 rx’d and then 9 jumping ring dips
A3. Clap Pushups broken – no explosive power

B1. Unbroken
B2. 10,5,5,5 rest in sets of 5

C. 250

D. No time

These WODs are seriously kicking my a$$.

great work Melissa, I love seeing your numbers and striving. Yesterday, not so good for me, but I’ll keep hitting it hard, what was the hardest part, any recommendations? These mega wods are killing me too.

@natalie g
Anything gymnastics related gets me. I lack explosive power so the chest slap pushups were impossible and ring dips are also a nemisis.

And today there is an insane amount of pushups! These WODs are humbling to say the least. Really draw out the weaknesses.

Thankfully the programming has been 2 on 1 off! I will be there tonight at 5 Nat if you need some a$$ kicking.

@MLC
I’ll take some of the a$$ kicking if you’re handing it out…as like Nat these WOD’s are taking their toll, not only on my body but mentally. I’m trying not to let them discourage me…

A1.175, 185, 195, 205 unbroken
A2.Rx’d, first set was the best, 5-3-2, and the 2nd set. After that I moved to 2′s and singles. Slap chest pushups were hard, down to singles on the last couple sets as well.
B1. Rx’d, pushups were broken, I skipped the 90 sec rest.
DU’s- 180. I could have tried harder but my coordination was shot. Didn’t work on HSPU, too late. Probably would have broken my neck
Thx for the encouragement Tania!

It was a grinder. Rest day tomorrow.

A1. 155;165;175;190 unbroken
A2. 2 rx’d then 9 jumping ring dips
A3. Clap Pushups (2 sets @ 10 clap + 2 sets @ 7 clap + 3 regular)

B1. Unbroken
B2. Broken (had to rest twice in each set)

C. 281

I will say the same as MLC…these wods are really kicking my butt !! BUT I LOVE IT !!!

@Scott A. and Brad S.

Look guys, I AIN’T GONNA BULLS*%T YOU (hahaha), today will be a doozy. Come prepared to throw down…

@Kristin F.

Did I sell it alright?

@Kristin
I’m on it! And don’t let it discourage you. It is WAY more important to work on your weaknesses then your strengths. Believe me, you are not the only one being beaten down mentally. These WODs are very humbling, and that is why we do it.
C’ya tonight!

@ stephen
Look I’m tired of the bulls**t Stephen….lol
Let’s get after it!!

Rest day for me today, not sure if I am glad about that or wishing I could tackle this one!

……good workout, definitely felt it on my ride home.

A1-205, 225, 230, 230#. Shoulda thrown more on for sure…

rested a few minutes

C.265 (shoulders smoked)

A1. 235, 245, 260, 275 – slept a little funny this afternoon and woke up with a weird feeling in my back so I played it a little safe here. Think I could do 295.

B2: rx’d–first 12-15 reps unbroken on all 4 sets, then broken into 3-5 (good form on all…chest to deck…full lock-out at top…) – steve you took the words right out of my mouth

C: 216 – buddy lee felt really short and really heavy on the forearms today.

D: about 10 slow reps. Tried several with hands on a plate… couldn’t get out of the bottom.

@ b-mac
Geez BMac you’re a machine on the DU’s!! I’d need 25 mins to get that many…

@B-Mac
Brad’s not bulls*%ttin’, dude. Nice work.

(I could explain the whole “bulls$%t” thing going on in the posts, but it just wouldn’t be as funny)

So now my front and back are equally sore fantastic (I really love it)

A: 115, 135, 155, 175
Burst pushups (push off the floor) all broken (that’s what I’m calling my version)
