7 goblet squats @1 pood
10 OHlunges @25#

Back was feeling a bit spicy still from Friday so took it at a nice gingerly pace!
Finally able to get a workout in. Did Saturday’s team WOD at home with a buddy who wants to start crossfitting.
3 Rounds for time of:
20 Pull-ups
15 Burpees
10 Box Jumps , 24”

My slowest 1:31.
Fun times at the Seminar workout.

285 felt better than the 275 but called it a day it’s a good 20lb PR for me.

5 power snatch @ 185
5 seated L-sit muscle ups
8:57
Officially trying to swim once per week. Luckily I’m friends with a fish, or maybe we should call her a dolphin, if you ever want to be humbled, go swim with Steph P. She lapped me a couple times today!
Looking at race season ahead and contemplating Racine Half Iron so time to get back into swim mode.
2-4-6-8-8-6-4-2 Laps
We tried to rest as much as we worked. It was probably a little less, but fun one. I wanted to bail on the second set of 8 seeing as Steph finished while I still had two lengths of the pool to complete, but finished all the way through. Need some technique work!
Happy Superbowl Sunday, Go NINERS!!!! :)
Congrats on your 5k PR, Ervin! Ballsy to run out in that cold–way to go!
L1 Seminar WOD
Jumped in and tried to find my 1RM Front Squat in 15min

Matched my old 1RM, did 275#x2 2 weeks ago. Deadlifts on Friday + 50 135# FS yesterday fried me out. It was fun to work alongside the trainers though

Didn’t have time to do 3 rounds but it was fun to get a quick metcon in
Finally posting after an awesome, but tiring weekend at the L1 seminar. It was fun to see Jonny, Glenn, and Rudy as part of the awesome seminar staff!
Yesterday, Fran…3:30 Rx.
Big thanks to JK for being my cheerleader/counter!!
Today, 8 min AMRAP of push-ups, medball cleans (I used a 12# ball) and sit-ups. 6+3 push-ups
There sure are a lot of things to think about during a medball clean
