A 290# 5# pr
B. 2rds + 57 reps rx
A: worked up to 355# (20lbs PR)
B: 3 rounds +6 Rx
Everything felt great what took the most time and what was the most taxing was the burpees.
A: 145# atg today. My depth has definately improved. My max was 160 just at parallel before.
B: my work life sucked today. Worked out with my bootcamp class 🙂
That’s great to hear Amber! Keep up the great work!
A. FS to 255 (10 off PR)
B. 2 rds + 10 thrusters, Rx.
Off a bit since last Sage Nov14 (2 + 12PU). Eh. Hope it is another year before doing that one
Great work today Andy! Some days feel better than others!
A. 225 PR! Failed 235 about mid way up. I’ll take a PR!
B.
2 rounds + 11 burpees
Went #115 thrusters, still pretty terrible workout! It felt eternal!
Yay for a PR!!
A: Worked up to a 345# (5lb PR)
B: 3 Rounds + 11 Thrusters
Oh, and this was pretty awful.
That seems to be the general consensus from everyone. haha Good workout! 🙂
A. Hit 275#, failed at 300# which would have been a 10# PR. Didn’t have the juices flowing today.
B. 2 + 12 Rx, knew this would feel like a kick in the teeth, so really paced out the thrusters. Also got a nosebleed halfway through (popped a vessel straining overhead) which slowed things down somewhat.
I hope you’re okay!
Sorry to hear about the nosebleed!
Today was realllllly hard for me
A. 175, 80% of 1 rm, no belt
B. 2rds+4 rx, those thrusters kicked my butt and my body gave out before my lungs did.
It was rough for everyone. Way to get through it!
What weight did you use on those thrusters?
As prescribed 95
A) 320# (failed 330)
B) had duty today so got to the gym late and didn’t have any spare room on the rig. Jumped in with the class on their wod-
4 rounds
7 c&j 185#
14 T2B
21 box jump 24″
10:18
*Will make up this wod later this week
Sounds like a fun day! Let us know how “Sage” goes when you get around to completing it 🙂
A. Worked to 112.5 – core felt seriously weak
B. 2 rounds + 20 Thrusters
BTW this is my first Invictus WOD. Haven’t done crossfit for almost a year but have some more time on my hands over the next few months. I will be training solo in my garage in little ol’ Auckland, New Zealand.
Welcome to our blog! So happy to have you train with us. Please let me know if you have any questions
Real first day back, took some extra time off from the weekends competition that Ian and I partnered.
A) worked up to 320#s, has to be a PR as I don’t have one recorded
B) this was a lot of Eww!
As Rx: 3 rounds + 48
Yay for PRs!! Write it down so you remember 🙂
Definitely a lot of Eww during this one! 20 minutes of ew! Great work!
A. Worked up to 275. PR match but this time wasn’t wearing lifting shoes.
B. 115 on Thrusters. 3 rounds. That was awful.
A. Worked up to then failed at #325 (#320 old/current 1RM), did #315 to finish on a good note.
B. As Rx: 2 rds + 6 burpees. Heavy Thrusters always kick my butt.
….Finished with some GHDSU and weighted box jumps with hockey tonight.
you’ll get that 325 Next time!!
A. 3x80kg 3x90kg 1x100kg 1x110kg 1x120kg
Equal to my last 1RM, my legs can drive more weight, but I get trouble keeping my torso upright, wich is the limiting factor in this lift for me
B. 3+15 @50kg thrusters
What do you feel is your biggest weakness in the front squat? Core? Thoracic mobility?
Great work today! Keep working on those front squats and they will improve! Maybe incorporate some tempo front squats.. Slow down the decent and pause for a good 3 seconds at the bottom.
Thoracic mobility. I’m stretching myself over a foamroll frequently to loosen it up. I’m also a bit tight in my lats, affecting my frontrack position. I’m working on it! Tempo frontsquats is a good idea 🙂 Would you say 3-5sets at light weight as warmup?
A. 1RM Front Squat – worked up to 315# (15# PR – no belt)
B. “Sage at 20” as Rx – 3 rounds + 7
… thrusters functioned as the gate keeper – well timed blog post … this one is leaky.
YAY for a PR!!!
This workout is no joke 🙂
This looks AWFUL.
You are correct sir … it most definitely is.
Good job, man. Thrusters are not a strength of mine. ?
For accountability purposes, I’ll post my awful results. I tried thrusters in the warmup but they feel like my wrists were going to snap so I had to modify it. Not having worked out for 3+ months is humbling… Thankfully tomorrow is a new day. A. Front Squat – 225 235F. I failed at 205# 3 weeks ago so getting some of my strength back slowly. Old PR was 265 but that was well before the long layoff. B. Modified workout to: 20 Min AMRAP: 20 Squat Cleans 135# 20 Pull-ups 20 Burpees over the bar 1 Round + 47… Read more »
