Joshie today with some subs. Subbed 25# on DB snatches. Did squat cleans for left arm on first round. Shoulder started hurting and had to just put the DB on my shoulder and just do 31 squats. Time of 43:07 or around there. Nice work by Mandy and Tessa who were right behind me despite the fact that they had it harder, doing snatches on both sides. I'm sure that would have added at least another 5 minutes to my time.
Joshie as well today... did 20# snatches for each arm... my left arm is way weaker than my right so I had to cater to that arm; time of 47:04. Boy was this one tough. I wasn't even through the first set of pullups and thought "I have to freakin do 5 more sets of pullups after this." I really felt close to pukie on this one for some reason. The pullups really made me wanna hurl - I don't know if it's cause I was holding my breath on the way up or what... Travis sorry you had to "hear" that today... you know what I'm talking about :) When pukie's callin there's no holdin back! Will did awesome despite was he says. His pullups looked great even with a bum shoulder! Mandy was right on my tail... you all better watch out for her... she's rockin! Everyone else did awesome too.. Travis (pullin smiles for the camera!), Phil, Robbie, and "long john" Dave. Dave's legs are so freakin long he has to squat down SO far and then push the weight back up twice as far as anyone else! WOW!
I'll see ya'll in the morning... take it easy on us CODY! Travis you better not back out... it's our last time seein you!
I was very impressed with everyone today doing "Joshie". Everyone's form looked good throughout and you all really pushed it. I agree with Tessa...watch out for Mandy! She's "smokin"! You all were crackin' me up today...making jokes and laughing through the entire wod....hmmm...means you weren't working hard enough...I better push you harder next time. :)
Ok...I think Brooke's nickname should be "Animal" Anyone else got one for her???? Brooke...are you reading this? :)
Good luck night crew on Joshie...you'll do great!
Natalie! You pushed us hard enough! She was crackin the wip. lol jk Will and Tessa did awesome! I was trying to keep up. Here is what I did. The first round and a half I used the gray band. But my legs started going to sleep. They were dead. So I did the last round and half jumping pullups. And then I used 15# dumb bells. I really had a hard time with this WOD mentally! Then Travis, Phil, and Robbie came in and kicked some butt! I think we were all feeling each others pain. I will not be in tomorrow! Marian has cheer pictures in the morning. SO I will see everyone Monday! Thanks Dave and Natalie. And nice to see you for a brief second Steve!
