I had foundations today then
8 min AMRAP
10 wall balls
8 sit ups
6 burpees
100m run

Foundations again tomorrow afternoon then I’ll be a normal 5am person. I hate late afternoon workouts.

Workout of the Day

Front Squat
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
*Starting with an empty barbell, you have 10 lifts to establish a heavy single for the day.




I started at 95lb. I didn't think about it too hard, but 95lb was too light to start and increment by 10lb. My max FS is a bit above 225, or just around it. I made a couple of larger jumps to get to 225 on my last rep, but I think I had more in the tank and could've PR'd had I not started at 95. All the way up to 205 my form was on point, no thoracic rounding at all, elbows up high. At 225 when I dropped down I noticed I immediately fell into my older pattern and dropped my elbows forward a little bit.. but I managed to recover on the way up and got it.. it didn't feel bad at all. Disappointed that I didn't truly max out and PR.

Try this.....I couldn’t do dubz for like 2yrs and someone told me to try this and they just clicked.

Pick a point on the ceiling and focus on it. Not looking straight up but not straight ahead......lift your head like 75% of the way up.

It may not work for you but it just made them click for me.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

This happened to me on 4 and 5 of my 5 rep max of 245 today. 5 was so bad I think all the weight was on my wrists. Felt bad.

I worked up to 285 and tried 300 on my 10th and final set but failed.

The knee issue makes me go slower, more like a tempo front squat, and I just couldn’t get a good breath before starting; bailing both times.

Previous max is 335, but I think 305 was doable today if my breathing was on point.

When I cannot do two of the three, I just don't go. I need to try HSPUs again. I may be able to do one now

I did a Google search and saw a list of progressions, mostly just wondering what they will prescribe as progressions. My guess is L-hangs.

Depends on what the coach wants you to be focusing on during this meso cycle. If it's pulling strength then strict pullups. If it's core, then knee raises to one leg l holds to l holds.

More instructions/work on different lifts.

We just did the last part of the workout.
12 min time cap:
DU 100,80,60,40,20 (did singles)
Clean and Jerk 15, 12, 9, 6, 3 (65lbs)

I plan on taking most of the lifts light to get comfortable doing the movements.

I have to give a shout out of appreciation to Crossfit. I'm a garage gym guy but my wife has been crossfiting for 7 months now. It's been great for her as a homeschooling mom of 4 to get out of the house not to mention the benefits to her figure. It's aways interesting to hear about the workouts when she gets home. Crossfit seems like its got a good thing going.
