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 […]

WOD: 10:10 RX – overhead squat killed me on this one…I can’t believe the women’s sectional winner did this around 4 mins. Talk about an ego check! OMG!!
3 rounds 3 – Turkish Get Ups – 30 lbs

Ugg…I did this workout with 75 lbs. in 18min+some sec. It was totally brutal. I just could not get comfortable on the overhead squats. One min I would have the shoulders locked then it would take one whole round to get the feeling right again. I am glad I gutted it out and did not drop the weight but…I really need to get stronger shoulders or something.
The feeling is great when you are done with this one.

WOD: 7:54 @ 30lbs. I had to do the weight of my weakest set, and OH squats suck for me. Wish I could have done 37, but I’ll get there soon:)
Turkish get ups – 20 lbs. Those things are bizarro.

Wow- excellent time Vanessa. Way to school that 65# after you worked with it on Saturday in the last WOD as well!
The women’s sectional winner did this in 5:58, so don’t be too hard on yourself- you weren’t far off. Now the MEN’S first place did it in 4 minutes… Let’s see Chris, Ryan, and Aja match that effort :).

I went 85 with this WOD until 1 miserable failed rep into the OH Squats, which is a neon light of weakness for me. I dropped to 65 and struggled still. I ended up at 11:30 … this was a suck.

@Sandra
That was the exact excuse I gave Rob! LOL! I hate giving an excuse, but seriously, I am sore from Saturday! Maybe could have shaved off a couple of seconds with fresh musles…maybe!

8:40 at RX women’s weight…. The burpees were the suck for me on this workout. Decently happy with my time though :).
Plus 35# KB Turkish get ups, and then about 30 push presses to work on form (I think I got it!)
