I had heard a rumor that a Rotker sighting was in the works, and for the first time in about a month I was not disappointed. Good to see ya back.
Worked in with several people today. Ended up finishing out with Brandon.
3@95
3@135
2@165
1@185 nearly crushed me at the bottom, need to keep tight abs (a constant problem)
1@185 FAIL
1@185 a lot better form throughout this time.
Tabata hollow rocks, JP put it the best, rounds 3-8 sounded like a room full of men trying to give birth. I’m renaming these Tabata PAIN.
lots of problems with my form--pulling early, squeezing the bar during the catch, and rising too fast with my hips during the initial pull, not to mention holding my breath
so much that I got light headed and felt tingling in my legs. Other than that, form was near perfect.
Damn! Cleans and Snatches always seems to be on Wednesdays. The day that I usually can’t make it. Can I use my Saturday to come an extra day during the week and do this?
Good technique is so important. I couldn’t believe how easy the 205 was when I got it, yet my other failures (even at the lower weight 185) did not feel easy at all. But whenever I consciously thought about technique is when I flailed. I hate it when my mind gets in the way!
Was NOT prepared for last nights WOD. I show up late…I had to leave early for darts. Did two full rounds…almost puked and created a massive head ache. Jesus didn’t see that one coming.
Regardless its my birthday today so add 27 Muscle ups to the WOD. We don’t do Burpees on M$’s Bday. We do Muscle ups.
The key to good mechanics. See your olympic lifts frame by frame. Break old running habits with a 45 minute video analysis session.
Testimonials
I am 24 years old and I have been an athlete most of my life. Over the past few years I found myself becoming extremely bored with my typical everyday workouts at the gym. When I heard about Norht Shore CrossFit I was really interested in trying out the program.

Kept at the 185 because it’s there…just couldn’t pull it all together today…
Short handstand practice, then onto muscle up progressions/practice. Sorry guys, not today, but SOON -- DEFINITELY in March!
Tabata hollow rocks…need no commentary…

Happy birthday
