The store's coming along nicely. Progenex, more PaleoKits, Strength Wraps, and Tanka Bars and Bites, should be in later this week.
I have to make a plug for the Pilates class. I felt a huge difference in my DU power and I know it's from taking the Pilates class. I was more aware of my core and able to keep it tight. Usually the intial jump is spent on opening up my chest because I can't keep it up with just my abs. The pilates work I've been doing has made a huge difference in keeping the chest up and everything as effecient as possible.
So if you haven't consider going. It's easily translates to every part of the workout.
ripped my hands in the metcon and got very frustrated and kind of lost my temper. 3-2-2 rds rx'ed. I know I had the capacity for 3-3-3, but i didn't want to make my hands worse and screw myself for the next week of training. So i held back. To be honest, doing 2 rds in 5 min wasn't easy as it was (and I tried to get them done quickly, but i definitely slowed down).
91 reps/60 reps/ 60 reps
My hands ripped as well - womp, womp.
Great job, 6am - perfect morning to be out moving around!
3rds + 5 Sn, 3 rds + 28 DU, 3 rds even
double unders fell apart a little here and there. Power snatches felt great until the 3rd round of the 3rd cycle - hamstrings just decided to quit. Had to really push to get through those. Still, I loved this workout. I worked hard on following Joe's advice to give just enough hip extension, and then pull under faster. Speed under the bar is a big hole for me, and I felt like I got a little better handle on it today. Good stuff!
Also, Megan M and I did some bridge-ups, pike stretch, and some heavy press. Felt great. Loving our skill/strength playtimes.

Pistols are tough for me, but I got a few rolls up on 1 foot which is progress.
metcon
2rnds + 8 snatch, 2 rounds + 30Du, 2 rnds + 10 snatch
hands tore on the third round. du's really f'd with me the 2nd round...been a long time since i've snatched so this was "fun".
Pistol practice was great, I got one roll up into a pistol for the first time and I was able to do full pistols without holding onto my foot for the first time.
There is nothing more to say.
Definitely a weakness & am limited to negatives, but there were a few that felt "right" so I guess I'm on the right track. Maybe if I took them a little more seriously rather than just assume I'm not going to be able to do them.
Was looking forward to the met-con all day. Got 30 unbroken DU! PR!!!! Rock, if I can do this..so can you. I love not being afraid of WODs with double-unders. With Ricky's help, I really focused on slowing the snatch way down and trying to fix some technique problems. I really appreciate the help.
I had a great time working with Hannah Sacco, too. If you don't know this girl, you should. She's a pretty cool chick.
Conditioning:
2 rounds + 30DU + 1snatch/ 2 rounds/ 2 rounds
