Nate – 8 rounds Rx – Need to get more efficient with my muscle ups. Failed about 10 off them throughout the workout!
Nice work 5:30
Alternate Nate AMRAP 20: 6+8 w/32kg KBS.
Dips slowed this one down a bunch. Great job 6am. Way to get huge.
alterNATE today for me, too: 6+11 with red banded dips and 24kg KBS. decided to band my dips so i didn’t spend 75% of the wod staring at the rings. my september goal is around dips, so i’m hoping to make some improvements there.
dude+cal:00 this morning. way to rock.
In your honor CPO Hardy
Alternate WOD: 5 + 10 w/24 kg KBS.
Perhaps I should have banded the dips like Cal so that I could move through them quicker. Really the thing that got me more than anything was how raw my hands were, I’m guessing from the TTB yesterday. Grabbing any of the objects today was searing and at one point my hand started bleeding and I couldn’t figure out from where.
Great 6 am class as usual!
thank you for your service, CPO Hardy.
alterNATE – 6 rds
experienced some hiccups getting this one started as i tried to figure out how to scale this one appropriately. that might be due to the fact that…
I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST KIPPING PULLUPS TODAY!
happy Friday, everyone.
POPE THAT IS AWESOME!!! Rachel and you in the same day!!
CONGRATS guys!!!! way to go!!!!
AlterNATE: 5 + 4, blue band, red band, 16kg.
And my first kipping pull-ups as well!!! The first two no one saw. But Sam and Joe confirmed that I got it on my third try!! Congrats Pope on yours as well!!
WOOHOO! Congrats to YOU!
In your honor CPO Hardy
AlterNATE : 5 rounds + 14
I’ve been getting really terrible tension headaches (2nd workout with them). Need to figure out how to work through theses or get it fixed. Chiropractor suggestions anyone?
Try stretching your traps. I find pulling my head to one side trying to get your ear to your shoulder and then pushing my opposite arm down creates a good stretch. Hope this might help.
Interesting tip, will try this.
This happened to me as well for a period of about two weeks, particularly when i was rowing really hard, DU’s or exerting in a way that used my shoulders. Discussions with coaches, online and some of our own in-house medical experts (Ed, and the other docs) suggested that it was pulled muscle in the neck area. They were quite painful, took about 10-15 minutes to subside and I had to stop what I was doing.
Maybe you pulled something in your shoulders/neck area? If they don’t go away, definitely go see someone.
Thanks for the tip, my neck/shoulder feels fine, but I will definitely have someone else take a second look (MD, therapist, chiropractor).
Thanks again!
Nate/AlterNate – 6+5. Pull ups, red band ring dips, hspus with an abmat and Rx kb swings. rough end to the week!
Nate: 7+2 almost Rx.
I false grip the rings and can’t seem to straighten my arms out at the beginning/bottom of the muscle up without slipping. One of the million things I need to work on, but I really think I need to just learn how to do these without the false grip.
AlterNate: 7 + 17. Red bands on dips for sets 2-7. Ugghhh. I guess my next goal is two muscle-ups in a row so I can avoid all of that next time.
Yeah! – so happy to be back after a long absence.
Very scaled Nate: 8 + 3
Nice to meet the Friday 9am crew- great work!
AlterNate: 7+5, new red band for pull ups, new red band for dips, push ups from knees, 20k kettle bell.
My push ups were on vacation. I hadn’t planned to scale them until I failed on the first set. Pancake city. I’m going to blame this on the fact that my shoulders are blasted from those overhead walking lunges and volume training/negative ring rips all week.
Props to the new folks in class! There were a lot of moving parts on this one.
