Warm-up completed

For invictus.baseline
I subbed. Knees 2 elbows instead of T2B.

And kb taters @ 12kg instead if wall balls.

Could.only manage 4 rounds total.

Dont know cause after my 4th night shift but totally gassed.

Wanted to appreciate the games more so I did the “first cut” at the women’s weight.

4rds
400m run
3 legless rope climbs
7 squat snatch 130#
-20 min cap

Capped at 2 rds. I failed so many snatches. I can power about 120- 125 so it’s more technique. And I needed to slow down between reps

I genuinely hate this WOD. It hits all my weaknesses and makes me feel like crap. (Plus why is it baseline when there are no legs, just shoulders and lats!?!) BUT I did it anyway. I am still at home with sick kids and have an 8’ ceiling and 10# ball so subbed wall ball with DB thrusters with 10# DB’s 2:52 2:59 3:08 3:07 3:13 – kipped a few pull ups in this set 3:25 – kipped half the pull ups Wheels came off after round 4. TTB were crap. Push ups were sad and wanted to stop. Made… Read more »

Don’t beat yourself up! I’m sure you gave it a great effort. You work hard week in and week out, and go far beyond what most people are capable of. I took a rest day today, but I’ll be in for it tomorrow!

Yikes. My forearms were completely gone by the start of round 2. If this was a mental test, I failed spectacularly!

Ended mid-way through round 2. Perhaps it was a weekend of poor eating? Not sure, but I felt pretty down after failing this.

Attempted to salvage the day and perform a 20 minute AMRAP of 5 pull-ups, 10 toes to bar, 15 push-ups, and 20 air squats, but quit after 2 rounds there as well.

Just wasn’t feeling it today. Anyone else suffer these days as well?

Metabolic conditioning is tough after a weekend of poor eating. Almost like your cells are a stick in the mud and can’t shake it off. It happens totally normal with not so decent nutrition

Feel so disappointed. I failed in 5 rounds out of the 6. Pull-ups and TTB were a killer for me. I feel I am not advancing one single bit since very long time. Quite confused as to what I can do?! 🙁

A. Invictus interval test
10 Strict pull ups
15 T2B
20 push ups
25 wall ball #20 (only have 9ft space on wall)
1:54/1:52/2:02/1:53/1:51/2:07
Started first couple rounds only breaking on T2B. Then broke pull ups into 5s so save my hands for T2B which definitely helped.
B. Stamina squats #250 12m EMOM
2 front
4 back

Doing the stamina squats at that weight after the baseline test = serious fitness!

Thanks, but to be fair the interval test has always been kind of a wheelhouse WOD for me.

Did 4 rounds
3:46,
4:10,
4:06,
4:12 (situps instead of T2B on this round only)
Started out with very small sets and thought I’d be able to consistently get faster. Boy was I wrong! This was a lot harder than it looked! That extra foot on the wallballs is a game-changer as well!

That extra rest day between the team workout and this was intended :). Don’t worry! You’ll get to attack this again in a few months! Yay!
