Know how to do a burpee? Just skip the pushup: squat, put hands on ground jump to plank (pushup start position), then jump back to squat, jump, clap.

There’s a reason they don’t call it “Fight Gone Good”.

Today at Brand X the buy in was back squats. Ooooh..that is good because I am trying to follow the CFSB protocol and today would be back squats.
The bummer was we ran out of time before I could get my last one in so..I only got to 135#. Would have liked 145#. Next time…...
The WOD was 21-15-9 of db clean and pull ups. I used 30# for the 1st 21. I changed it to 25# for the 15-9. I was losing the metabolic component by standing and looking at the dumbbells too long.
On Saturday I did the press and got to 80# by 5. I believe that is a PR for me. CFSB works!

“Front Squats”
I did a 5x5 instead of the triples.
155, 175, 185, 195, 185 ***all the way down
Few sets of leg curls followed by 50 intervals of jump rope (20 sec on : 10 sec off). Every interval had a atleast 1 DU.

LaLanne AM. I was hoping that the boss had somehow missed this when it was on the main site Saturday, but there it was on the white board today.

Diesel Crew Shoulder Work + Ice
I played one to many games of racquetball on Saturday and my shoulders are still fried. Lots of Ice for the rest of the day… Front Squat form was much better, I don’t think my last PR or attempts were very legit, these ones were.

Oops! Clearly I was too bleary eyed to see that the WOD says Front Squats not Deadlifts. If this is what my day is going to be like then I might as well go back to bed!
Oh well, I did some deadlift work today.
