Sleep is one of the most underrated tools to improve performance and recovery. It is so important that early man still slept even though they did not have the secure environment of houses, locks, and security systems. Early man was low on the food chain more prey than predator, and yet from sundown to sunup […]

We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROB!!!!
But absolutely terrible birthday WOD; really, I would’ve probably preferred to do the burpees with you than muddle through those DUs.
Met Con- 17:48 (but it doesn’t really count- in the second and third round I had to do a mix of SU/DUs because I had NO rhythm today).
However, I can also blame it on the fact that I was exhausted from getting my first ever unassisted dead-hang pull up!
3(purple band)-12(unassisted- 4 x 3)
I’m so excited! Getting the kipping movement down has definitely improved my dead hang strength.

Weighted PU: 3 sets @ 20# and 2 sets @ 25#
Metcon: 11:20. couldn’t get a rhythm w/ DUs, never more than 10 at a time.
Now that I’ve done the WOD, what’s the significance of the # of reps? 67 DUs ??

Brian, Yesterday was my birthday. So the reps were my birthdate 12/28/1967:). I also did 42 burpees at each class, that was my birthday present to the athletes..6 classes 252 burpees.

Ah, I figured it was something like that since I saw it was your birthday and I had guessed the 1967 birthdate, but was really questioning that since I didn’t think you that OLD 🙂 (or, I mean YOUNG!)
Maybe the 42 would have been a better number for the DUs, my calves are killing me now 😐 but it was great to have to push myself on them.
