Strict Pres95x3x10. flexibility continuing to improve, was acutally pushing it straight over head. been at least 3 years since I have been able to do that. WOD: Close Grip Snatch 95x10/Wall Balls minimum 10'x30#x10 As many rounds as possible in 10 min. got 4 complete rounds. OBV not a big fan of 10 reps of snatches, I treated it more like sets of 3, and focused more on technique vs. doing them poorly. |

Good for you!
I was always the fat slow guy when we tried xfit for a while. That is why I had to be mean and crank out on the max lift days, show them wht's up.

I have very few social interaction skills, so I just throw stuff instead. |

I am still not comfortable with the split up on the training thread. I could not overhead squat pompoms, clearly your healing up nice. Good work.

Thanks Myles, I appreciate it.
I have to agree with you about the split, I am not fully sold on it...there are many things I would programed differently. Having said that, I figured, just go with it until its time to transition into the next phase, listen to my body, and if it's helping, let it roll, if not, reassess. So far my RHR is better, my body fat is down ( more importantly a good diet has been the key with that), my flexibility is getting much better, and overall I feel good (except for a some patella tendinitis that flares up every so often). I appreciate your any feedback you have, you're someone I really respect in this game. |

Yesterday at Weight City, the games where dreams come true. Great times as always with the crew. Tested out all this flexibility/condish work I have been doing....no doubt, the plan is moving in the right direction. Haven't thrown since June 30.
Big throws during the game, dr. Fay with huge tosses...He has come back from Scotland a new man. Collins, consistently doing what he does and had a huge breakout in the stone, as did Jason Thomas. Great sharing the field with old man Willsy again ...as always sharing his wisdom to those of us who are slightly taller and better looking. BS: 27 lbs, 28-10ish OS: 40+ with glide HWFD: 27-10 ...2nd best throw ever LWFD: series went 57+, f (65), f (62 toe on line beside toe board). Never have thrown 62-65 ft, best ever is 61-1, in 08 when I was 227, and much stronger....feeling really good about this series, even though they were fouls and the 65 was a huge foul...but I have confidence in many ways with the lw hammers: 70/97? The 97 is my second best throw ever. Caber: 12:00 maybe the lightest stick ever thrown. Wob: 11... Wills said I had the height for 12' 6 on my last pull at 12... Peaked behind, but I lrearned something from him on the last pull which will pay off down the road. So in all, increased shoulder flexibility=better throws....now to keep it going and stay the course. |
