A. Back squat – 1×6@70%, 1×6@80%, 1×3@90%, 1×2@95%.

Here’s an interesting post on movement and its emotional and spiritual connections. Why do you move? What are you looking for in your movement pursuits? Are you getting what you want out of your movement practice? Do you have fun doing what you do? You don’t have to verbalize or post your answers, but at least ask and answer those questions in your head. It’s always good to check in every once in a while.
Movement can be a means to an end, but it’s also a purpose unto itself.

Some people yesterday were talking about ring dismounts when we were playing with skin-the-cats, and I was saying that you cannot do a full rotation on the rings without either a shoulder dislocation (really not recommended for anyone) or having the arms come out briefly into a horizontal position so the shoulder can rotate. Here is one video that demonstrates that fact. If you do a search for “ring dismounts”, you’ll find others.

You’re welcome Robin! It was fun cheering you on and you helped me push through the rowing too. This was a challenging one!!
A. Back Squat – 135×6, 155×6, 175×3, 185×2
B. Robin let me do Monday’s WOD. I’ve been under the weather and I want to be able to go hard on the rowing… so I will have a go at that on Friday.
100 single skips
25 wall balls @ 10#
15 T2B – haha I wish so only lifting legs. Time was around 18.38ish
Today was fun!!! Thanks Robin!!!
A. Back squat – 6@205, 6@235, 3@265, 1@280 – Failed on the second rep at 280. Not sure if it was my brain, or whether the 3 at 265 cooked my legs.
Front squat – 5@165, 4@190, 2×4@205
B. Jumped in on this one later with Kelly – 8:09.8 work time, averaged 1:37.9/500 m pace, and kept the pace between 1:37.2 and 1:38.8. I was happy with the consistency, and I managed to improve over the last time I did this workout by about 10 seconds.
A. Slightly modified rep scheme since I haven’t squatted in over two weeks and have been sick in between. 6 x 165, 6 x 187.5, 2 x 212.5, 1 x 222.5. Really good thing I cut back on the reps because I barely squeaked out the final rep. Was a tough one. Not sure if I’m still feeling the effects of the flu, plain old exhaustion, or not eating enough, but my strength this week has been MIA.
B. This went well, though I thought Colin might have to pull out the AED at some points. 9:09.2 I think. A 12 second PR over October. This felt terrible. I think I went too hard at the start. What I remember from last time was that I had a plan to beat my previous PR and basically went hard but didn’t totally gas myself up front. Next time I think I’ll have a better plan so that I can be more consistent, as the last couple of rounds were well over a second slower than the earlier ones. Though I’m very pleased with the PR – unexpected – so maybe this was the right way to do it after all.
Awesome work every body!!!! Trevor
