Sleep!
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 […]

Ok, I am going to go to confession a little here…sorry…so, when I saw this WOD this morning I honestly didn’t want to come at all (so glad I didn’t look last night or I would have been up all night). I am SO anxious about HSPU’s after sectionals. Was I going to fail again in front of all my CFWH friends? All during the Overhead squats I was anxious (sorry Alicia…thanks for putting up with me). Then before we even started I was negative…did I really have to struggle through them or could I use an abmat? Well, thanks Rob for making me struggle through them this morning. It certainly felt good to be able to accomplish them and really get my kip down! I am very happy this morning and honestly the best thing I did today was actually braving it and going! YAY! I will not let the HSPU defeat me! Practice, Practice, Practice….
Overhead Squat – 95 lbs
Met Con: 7 rounds + 200 m run (no abmat!!!!)

Great job everybody this morning. The OH squats are looking better. For some it is still a source of frustration , just keep fighting through. Folake the squats are looking better.
Congrats to Trey for getting his first handstand today!

OH Squats 120
Met Con: 5 rounds
Totally feeling the effects of Murph yesterday. OH squats and HSPU’s are total goats for me. I program them in because I hate them so I force myself to do them. OH Squats are getting better for me, as there was a day when I totally struggled with the bar. It has taken me a long time to get here. HSPU’s go right along with weak overhead strength for me. I struggled through this one a lot. Murph had a little to do with it, but in general OH strength is one of my weaknesses!

OH Squats: 60lb.
Felt really strong today and prob. could have even squeezed out 5 more lbs. That is DOUBLE the OH squats I have been doing previously. Guess what? Rob actually knows what he is talking about!
Met Con: 8 rounds, 1 ab mat
Extra w/ Joel:
3 rounds – 20 sec. L-sit (1 on rings, 1 on bar, 1 on parallettes), 15 GHD sit ups, 10 toes to bar

Rob, I’m glad you posted your last comment. I was really discouraged with my overhead squats and lack of being able to do a HSPU today. It’s encouraging to know that with practice I’ll eventually get there.

Kristen,
I know sometimes things in CF can be frustrating. Keep fighting and you can get those things we want to do.

OH squat: 45-75-105-135-135-135
Met Con: 6 rounds exactly– subbed ring pull ups for regular pull ups– MUCH harder, but so glad Rob suggested it because that’s what got me loose enough to do my MUSCLE UP!!!! 😀 Hopefully I can do it again soon- I was shaking so hard from exhaustion and excitement after I got it, I couldn’t do another one.
