A. DeadLifts – 175, 200, 220, 235.. stopped there… didn’t feel good when I tried to lift 250#. B. Skipped since I was short on time – will do tomorrow C. 2 rds + 1. I didn’t do the Open last year so I didn’t have a baseline. I stumbled too much on my 2nd round of DU’s which is rare for me when healthy… still need to work on DU’s when legs are tired. I actually liked this workout. I would definitely do this one again. D. 35# and 30# for Z Press. *Almost made it to SD this… Read more »

Mobility – done! A. Deadlifts – 150/180/220/234/245/255 B. Touch-n-go’s 100/110/115 C. Really happy with today’s result on this WOD. This was my best WOD in last year’s OPEN. Had a score of 309 and placed top 50 in my age group. So today’s results have me very stoked. I got 393 reps – an improvement of 84 reps. I was able to finish 5 more MU’s this time and then 79 unbroken DU’s before I ran out of time. I think the improvement can be attributed to my WBS and MU’s. Even though WBS aren’t a part of our Iinvictus… Read more »
