"Elizabeth"

21-15-9
Squat Clean, 135/95lbs (75#)
Ring Dips (tan band)

13:28

compare to 081223

to board the excuses train, i woke up with ye olde back injury screaming at me and found myself taking more breaks than i'd expect in this WOD.

could have been yesterday's tuck jumps... lots of time in the car last weekend.... who knows. some roller and ball time helped a bit but between this and the neck spasms i'm feeling a little lame.

in the good news department, shoulder is feeling fine.

296

subbed tuck jumps for double unders.

did 12 tan band pullups after the WOD (progress!) and worked on kipping form w/out band. needs practice.

Monday 090216

"Cindy" - first time

13 rounds (CTB blue band pullups, knee pushups)

used blue instead of tan band -- still trying to take it easy on shoulder. pushups are still the kryptonite but it seems like there are a lot of others sharing that pain.

Saturday 090214

shoulder issues update

on my 5th day off from crossfit. shoulder/tricep tweak is not any better than it was -- hurts when opening heavy doors, lifting bags, etc. different ranges of motion. doesn't hurt when stationary. going to focus on lower body stuff this weekend (run, squats) and give it until monday -- that will be one week. at that point i'll get worried, methinks.

Sunday 090208

30 Squat Clean and Jerks, 155/100 lbs

85#

14:22

this was a long and slow battle, but i'm glad i stuck with the weight and didn't scale.

chad pointed out one thing after the fact -- when i clean the weight, i'm not bringing my elbows far enough forward immediately. i'm raising them after i've already caught the bar. need to work on making it one smooth motion.

shoulder/tricep pinch that's been bugging me this week hurt after my first warmup rep tonight. will try two days off from anything that will push it.

020910 update - shoulder still hurts and right hamstring is all jacked. today is day 2 of rest. hoping i can do something low-key tomorrow.

Overhead Squat
