I am not off to a great start with these dot com WODs... I had to sub 30 Med Ball cleans (20#) for each round of power cleans and used a purple band for the dips. Looks like I might have to invest in some gloves.... and a matching purse.
Today was a big fat DNF for me, and I can definitely tell I haven't worked out for a week. I was not feeling it at all. Felt good to get back in though and hopefully I can get back in the swing of things quickly. Nice job breakfast club.
Unfortunately my lifting shoes are in the shop. However, undaunted and barefoot, I completed the .com wod in 15:54 RX'd. 2 days down, how many to go Jeff? Nice work 6AMer's!
I went at 6am....yes folks that is correct 6 AM!! I think I might like going that early, not sure if my body does :) Anyway my cleans were dirty this morning with 77#, my form was ugly from the first one today. Ring dips, I started off using the purple band and wasnt going down far enough so I switched to the tan. Overall finished at 17:49. Back is still really tight from VS last night.
.com 18:36 scaled to tan band first round of dips, then went to the blue band. Need to work on touch and go cleans, but I can never get my back set right for it on heavier cleans. The dips killed me.
I did the first 10 reps with 98#(that was heavy), I dropped down to 88#. I used a purple band on ring dips finished in 19:02. Nice work morning crew! Ang I hope your hands heal quickly.
Ang, I bought you gloves. You have some, dork. I also took an unscheduled rest day today. I worked out Saturday-Monday and my body needed a break. See ya'll in the mornin tomorrow. Can't wait.
main site 18:31 with 88# and did 1/3 of all the rounds without a band, the remaining 2/3 with purple band. dips were hard, had a hard time locking out and had to re-do quite a few of the dips because i couldn't get them. def need to work on cleans, but i guess they went okay. my wrist is still hurting after a month- i'll do my best to therapize it because i'm a wimp when it comes to pain!
18:50 with 98# and ... lots of bands. Dips slowed me down a LOT. I didn't have too much trouble with cleans, especially after I got the 15 and 12 out of the way. Probably should have gone prescribed on those. It always feels heavier in the warmup.
did the cfo wod -- 77# on the squat clean and 15 pushups. I am so mad because I was 5 pushups away from finishing within the time limit. ARGH! If only I woulda paced myself a little bit better. But thanks to Ricky - I think I finally got the movement down bc my legs are all bruised to hell! :P
Nice work tonight 5:30 - those dang cleans have a way of shredding the shins!!!
18:32 Rex'd Cleans and managed 41 dips without the band and then added the purple band when I started missing my lock out on those. Dips suck.
I got very frustrated when I missed 3 cleans in a row, but then I remembered Joe's famous last words "When the weight gets heavy, you will have to drop the start position lower to get it up." So I did that and the bar started flying back up again.....thank god because I was running out of cuss words!
Nice work 5:30. I did the main site WOD this evening, and found another weakness... the dread pirate "Ring Dip"! I think I did around 25-30 extra during the workout, because I didn't feel those reps were good. After the WOD though, Ricky told me how much I really suck at them. :-) I need to work on these... A LOT!
Oh how much tonight sucked ass.... dot com WOD: 14:and change. Started with 100# for about 7 or 8 reps, which was a joke. Then dropped cleans to 90#. Used purple band with one leg for dips. Did I mention how much my hands still hurt? :-) Thanks so much, Ricky, for working with Steve and I after, on form. That helped a lot. Thanks, Joe, for motivating us throughout this awful workout. Seriously frustrating and humbling WOD tonight. I have a LONG way to go to prepare, I sadly realize. Great effort 5:30! Way to push through!
Did the CFO workout today. I used the ladies bar with the 10lb training weights all the way up until just about the last set. Then I went to the bar. I also scaled the pushups with 21-18-15-12-9. Finished in 16:10. I was really proud though because when we did these last time, I didn't use any weights, just the bar :)
Definitely glad a purchased some gloves this afternoon! I did the mainsite wod. After warming up I knew the dips would kick my ass but I thought that I might be able to catch up on the cleans, however, the dips REALLY kicked my ass and I DNF. Rx'd cleans but scaled the dips...used tan band for the first few rounds and then added a purple too...for some reason my left arm had a hard time locking out...dips better not show up at that competition! NICE work 5:30...very impressive!
I also took part in the 5:30 main site workout. The cleans were heavy but I got through them without too much of a struggle, my form was questionable on the last ones though. The dips however were killer. I thought I had built up more strength on these but apparently not. The last two rounds I could only manage one rep at a time and I probably didn't get full lockout on several.
CFO WOD. DNF. I did 21 push ups between each round which obviously got the best of me. Finsihed the round out after Ricky called time. Did 60 pounds? for the weight.

As for me today, DNF.
