Pick up the bar Ben. Sometimes we catch ourselves in this situation but don't realize it as much as the people watching. It seems like so little time passes between when you put the bar down and when you pick it up but over the course of a whole workout, that time adds up. If we add that time together, it is apparent that it is significant.
You may need to rest but just be conscious of how long you're really resting and try to use that as motivation to pick the bar up just a bit sooner or to get a rep or three more before putting it down. Just as the time wasted adds up, doing a little more work or resting a little less, here and there, adds up as well.
Whittman, 21 minute cutoff:
5 rounds, 15 swings, 15 power cleans.
6 rounds, 15 swings, 15 cleans, 1 BJ, 1 back spasm.
I worked on "pristine" technique on the first 5 rounds but my back was still locking up in rounds 6 and 7.
Good Luck PM'ers! : )

16:43
was moving slow and feeling sick after a night out for jake's 30th bday... had to force myself to class but glad I did! Now I feel great!
Figured I'd do some heavy snatch work beforehand... Worked positioning and knees out 88, 110, 135, 155
3 Heavy Singles - 175, 190, 195
Did some quick math and to get 8 rds or more you need to average 1:15 per round... Set the clock to 1:15 and did a round at every beep for 3 RDS...
RD 1 - 53 secs
RD 2 - 55 secs
RD 3 - 56 secs
I've fallen off the boxes and skinned up my shins so many times that I am terrified of them. I LOOK at the box and can't breath, so I decided to go shorter to reduce a little of the anxiety. I've been working really hard to acknowledge my limitations & set myself up for small successes rather than endless frustrations. It was actually cool to FEEL consecutive jumps on the plates rather than struggle on a box. I guess Ricky really knows what he's talking about. HA!! Thanks for all the help and coaching.
This was stupid hard on my low back. At round four I thought there was no way I could finish... Then Ricky started yelling at me. I definitely pushed harder than I normally do but still got a DNF in the time allotted.
I won't be trying the games wod tomorrow and I'm hoping I can stand up straight!
Ricky it doesn't look like the logwod is posted.
