A – 115×5, 125×3, 130×1, 135×3, 140×2 (failed 2nd rep), 140×1 (massive struggle for 1 even without going up in weight)
115×7, 115×5
doing this on a 20 hr fast wasn’t a good idea… couldn’t manage the 8 reps even scaled down to 75%

A. 130-140-150-155-160-165(failed two attempts; apparently my PR might be set a little high)
B. 10 + 43 Rx

Can someone tell me what an overhead stability hold is?

Thank you Michele! That’s what I was doing, and was wondering if I was supposed to be hanging KBs with bands or something (though I only have single KBs so that would be tough).

Holy hell, man. I was feeling good about my 5 rounds + 5 reps. I hate you. 🤣

The only score that really matters is your last one (and lots of times I don’t beat my last one), though we all know a little competition goes a long way as well.

I’m just teasing, I’m 44 and just trying to be the best me at this point in my life. After 6 months off because a 3rd kid and renovating most of my house by myself, I’m okay with being at the back of the pack for now.

You guys give me something to chase and I’m okay with it even if I never actually catch you. 🤣 Nice work, keep crushing it. 💪🏼

Wanted to get ten rounds but I went at an easy pace trying to have zero breaks or trip ups. Only a few trips on du
Good work!

I tell you what Michele there is no better feeling when you’re in a group of 14 or so and going toe to toe with someone 20 years younger than you and you’re red lining it and you start to see them suffer first, it definitely brought out my competitive side!!!
Technique adjustments def made things feel easier, not necessarily higher weights but need to practice better technique at a lower weight and leave ego at the door!! 👊

What does “20×2” mean for the glute bridges?

I believe that’s 2 seconds on the descent, no pause at the bottom, explode up, and hold 2 seconds at the top.

Thank you! That clarifies it. The “X” threw me off.
