I posted a humbling 22:40 (scaled to 115 and then to 95 for the last few reps). I was reminded that full squat cleans are much tougher than power cleans. I couldn't squat clean PVC pipe a year ago so I'll have to chalk today up as a "progressive learning experience" (and practice on improving my weak FS). :) Oh, and “Elizabeast” crushed me.

I'm not at all surprised. I have been fortunate enough to witness both ladies' impressive progress over the last 8-9 months with the 0600 crew. They are both the real deal and consistently go hard every morning. Keep it up girls! I know that many have already expressed this, but CFI ROCKS! CJ and the coaching crew are so dialed in and I am very grateful to be part of such a professionally run affiliate. I had the pleasure of hitting up the 0930 today with Jillianne. It was so inspiring to see the effort that everyone put forth. Some were using med balls and some were using 135#s for "Elizabeth", but everyone one was giving it their best. That's one of the biggest reasons why I choose CrossFit over other fitness regimens. The “people factor" is the intangible. This stuff ain't easy and the kinds of people who are brave enough to embark on this journey have a whole of lot of heart and determination. CF Invictus has quickly established the kind of training environment where every member is encouraged, well coached and inspired to reach past their perceived potential. No matter when you come to train, it's straight up motivating and fun to walk in the door of CFI! ~BC Nice work Christina and Cynthia! I’m not at all surprised.

I really enjoyed my first workout at Invictus! Great class and everyone put out. I usually hate squat cleans, but with the great coaching and motivation tonight, I think I am coming around to them!

She rocked this WOD with 85 lbs. and flawless mechanics. But some major props also go to Cynthia, who powered through with 73 lbs. on her cleans. Her range of motion was perfect, and she was determined to finish without dropping weight. It was a truly inspiring performance. Nice work to all in the 6 a.m. group!

That should help reduce inflammation and soreness. Drink lots of water.
