Did the OH squats last night with Tovar....who used my bar as a warm-up set.....but thats ok because I kicked his time by 20 secs in the 7Rounds workout :) harhar!!
OH squats felt alright - went to 107X5 and then 112X2 and called it for the night.
Hello everyone What is a clean thruster, I would appreciate an explanation. So I can get after it up here. Last night I did burpees push ups sit ups and squats tabata style. Hope everyone is doing well.. Donohoe is outta here

Donohoe, A clean thruster is just a combination of the two movements. From the ground clean the bar, catch it in a squat, and from the squat stand up into a thruster. The squat is key. Basically it's a squat clean into a thruster. Clear as mud right? Good luck.
I wasn't entirely satisfied with the HPCs... Thought I should have been able to get blues. I think it wasn't so much the weight as technique - just kept psyching myself out. Tried 120# about 6 times, but no dice.
The WOD, however, was a pleasant surprise. I still can't breathe, but I was happy with my time. Had to skimp on the squat a bit, as my knee isn't cooperating this week, but the quads still burned.
Short notice, but there's a show at Hot Shops tonight. For the uninitiated, Hot Shops is an art center just north of Cuming downtown - tons of studios and lots of gallery space. It should be a cool show - my mom and dozens of other artists will have pieces, and lots of the studio artists will be in their spaces, so you can wander around and check out their studios.
The show is a benefit for the Omaha Food Pantry, so bring a nonperishable food item or 10.
Also, Josh will be in the Loken Forge at the Hot Shops taking a blacksmithing class, so you can probably heckle him on your way through. If that's not motivation enough to go, I don't know what is.

14:11 Rx'd. My squats got a little shallow. My lungs were still burning from yesterday, so today's WOD didn't help much. Oh well... I only need one lung.
HPC 110#. I absolutely hate these, and have maybe the worst technique in the region. I just don't get them. Not to mention that I got there late, and didn't even complete the last 2 sets of 1. Worked on them over the weekend though. Should be a joyous workout tonight. Blah.
