WOD: 5 + 5 First time i did all the pull-ups in a WOD without a band. Double unders are improving . . . can regularly get sets of 10 to 12.
WOD 4+24 (1st time using blue band! Woot-woot! I’m super happy with that because just shy of 6 mths ago, I was using the black band.) still need to work on my dbl unders.
A. 1 pood
B. 3+8, pullups with green band
5 + 14(green band, 50 single unders/round) I love these metcon wods, but sometimes what you like isn’t what’s best for you. I need to work on strength. Maybe should have used a heavier KB and no band?
I used blue band
6+4 – scaled due to an ankle injury
blue band pull ups
burpee box step-ups
20 air squats instead of double unders
4+10; red band, 24″ box, single unders. Felt GREAT, until the planks…
5+10 no band first time no band in work out did singles during work out 2rep doudle under PR after wod if you witness it -it was priceless
4+10 typo
WOD: 5+9 (step-up burpee box jumps, 15# weighted ball slams)
Back Squat: 3×5 105-125-135 (felt good to get lifting again, but got some work to do!)
30 min trainer ride
100 abmat sit-ups
7+40 (singles) – back from a week of weakly illness and felt good to do strict pull ups mixed with burpee box jumps. Can we walk the planks next time? Actually, great way to finish with a final challenge that tests and adds an exclamation powerpoint.
5 + 10, green band, 16 inch box, singles.
My only comment is that once beginner classes are over, it seems like there isn’t that often time to practice skill work. (lifts yes, we do that). However, things like double unders, pull ups, rope climbs, etc. Maybe sometimes it would be nice while “seasoned” people are warming up that newer people could get some coaching on how to eventually be able to do these things. Because you took the time during that one WOD a couple of weeks ago, I can finally do pullups with a band. 🙂 Or maybe once in a while skills class that is separate from regular workout? Just a thought!
Jumped in for the WOD quick. Couldn’t get double unders going – 5rds + 8 Rx.
A. used only the 15 kettle bell, probably should go up a weight (I’ll see how sore I am tomorrow). no back soreness
B. 4rds+8, first time with blue band– no problem. step ups instead of box jumps (protecting my feet). Only getting 3 dbl unders in a row.
C. FINALLY did full 30 second planks , sides are harder.
4+8. Blue band on the pull-ups. Still need work on those but definitely improving. Singles….need to get working on the double unders. Great workout, was dead when we were done.
Lower back was fatigued on the one arm Kettle swings from part A mainly due to never doing them before.
Great class again tonight, def. need to keep working on KBs.
WOD: 5+7 with vest, good to be back doing some work after two days off!!!
I thought I would only get 1 or 2 but when I saw I could get 3, I pushed it hard and nailed it 2 seconds under the buzzer. I was happy about how hard I pushed myself at the end.
Bench: 275-5, 295-3, 305-2, 315-2, 315-2
WOD 12 minute AMRAP
5 strict chest to bar chin ups
10 push press each arm 1 pood
20 situps
8+10
Good KB warmup – Great job Cory!
WOD: 5 rounds with red band, singles
planks – good stuff! Nice to do that at the end to work on concentration when fatigued.
Great work tonight by all of the athletes. Strong showing on a difficult variation of the swing. Keep it up!
I’m enjoying learning new KB movements. =)
WOD 5+15 (black band, stacked plates and singles
WOD 4+15
Graduated from jumping pull ups to a black band. Looking forward to moving my way through the bands.
Enjoyed Kettle Bell a lot. Looking forward to translating some of that into the clean and snatch.
(over 20 posts tonight so no burpies woot)
6 rounds with subs on two of the skills. The kettlebell work with Cory is good.
Kettlebells with Cory is great stuff!
WOD 5+15
Tough after 3 days off. And way to combine my 2 most hated movements: Burpee-Box-Jumps 🙂
Heel is getting better.
4 + 5 blue band,
