No gym access, so I used 50# dumbbells and squatted onto 16” box for pistol mod.

Scaled to 3 RXT


Rx'd weights and movement reps per round.


12min 20sec


I figured 3 rpu ds would still give me pretty sore quads tomorrow so why more.


If my quads were not screaming today still after Tommy V i might have gone for the full catastrophe though.


Nice couplet workout.

20:27 not alternating legs, and subbed 15 ea arm strict upright rows with a 40lb dumbbell attached to the Ucraft Pocketboard portable finger strength trainer set to difficult. With first 12 pistols to couch as target then decided that was too easy so 10-11” butt target (couch without cushion) . First round in 4m, then about 5-6m each thereafter. 3 sets each leg for pistols. 2 sets each arm for rows, which were surprisingly taxing. Did 30m after finishing bench press and running...

Rebuilding a good credit score can be very frustrating and usually takes up months or even years depending on how consistently you pay bills completely & on time. I used to be among these unfortunate categories until recently when I had this job interview. I was invited to attend by The Mosaic Company in Florida , and after a background-check by the company I was placed on hold because of my terrible credit report score .A 550 FICO score is considered very poor and generally won't get the best terms for loans and credit etc . Thanks to NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 who came to my rescue and performed their magic on my credit score report , now I can boast of a credit score of 790 . contact them at ( NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 AT gmail DOT com ) . Trust me they are reliable ! .

As rx’d, 14:16.


Was able to push pretty good – maybe 90%.  Slow and steady on the pistols.  Only a quick break here and there.  Broke SDHPs into sets of 5 with short breaks.

First set of SDHP was a bit too heavy to really keep the stimulus so I dropped the weight to be able to keep moving. Nice WOD.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Short and medium. Limiting factors are probably strength and flexibility in the squatting position. Unilateral loading, core-to-extremity, and stamina are also themes.


ASSUMED

Pistols are not a limiting factor in "Mary"


MAIN DECISION

Keep the movements and let intensity suffer, or keep intensity and adjust movements


TECHNIQUE SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

8 pistols (slow)

16 deadlifts


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As is, lose the timer. Also, do all 15 on one side before doing 15 on the other side


INTENSITY SCALE

4 rounds of:

60 lunges

15 sdhp


MY STUFF

19:59, pistols done on a box


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4
