Warm up

Dave Castro sucks

Got to 82 out of 150 DU.

Wow wall walks suck

Good thing we didn’t blast shoulders yesterday though. 😳

21.1 – 315

Wanted to get over 300 reps, but really wanted to get finished with the DU in the round of 150. I think I may retry this on Sunday. We’ll see.

Great WU for this one…thank you Invictus!! A. Open 21.1 – RX – 374 Reps Finished Round 15 with about 10s got to the wall to get 1 rep in..but didn’t get back down to the floor in time. ***So funny that we did wall walks this week in warm up and I was thinking while doing them “I wonder if wall walks have ever been an event in the open and exactly how the standard would be for it”. Hmmm..maybe I should play the lottery this week too!! 🤔 B. 3 rounds for quality – 30s work / 15s… Read more »

Thank you…I LOVE wall walks! And although I’m not the best at DU or super fast…they seemed to come together fairly ok. Now..this morning my upper body is really feeling that one!!!

A. Open Workout 21.1
13 WW in the round of 15 (222 reps)
I want to second what Sean Woodland said about Dave Castro “…hating bigger guys.” Although, this was a fun, new way to suffer/be humbled. In fact, I think this is a great workout to put the “Full Effort is Full Victory” mindset to use.

B. Front Squat E2MOM
10×135, 8×185, 6×205, 4×225, 2×245, 2×265, 10×135

Good luck today and have a great weekend everyone!!

Warmup done ✅

‘Open 21.1’

Finished round ‘15’ in 14’50

Shoulders were toasted after yesterday’s workout, but I still recon there is no way I’d have completed round ‘21’ in the time limit.
Fair play to anyone that does!
