    - Band: Ankle Flexion
    Dynamic Warm Up
    - Row 5-10 min

    D. Skill Transfer Drills

    WOD
    - Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

    95 lbs, just working on form

    Notes: This is by far the hardest movement for me to do. I haven't pin-pointed why, but it feels awkward and I have the tendency to want to look down at the ground.

    What Improved: Blake pointed out that my first couple of reps I was completely skipping the elbows out phase. So before every rep from that point forward I would do two reps making sure to get my elbows out.

    What to Work On: I need to keep my head up when going into the squat. Once I get the weight over head and begin to squat my head wants to drift down to the ground. I'm not sure what's causing this, but I need to try to keep my head up.

  • 1-1-1-1-1-1 Front Squat Workout

    Front Squat Pos Drills
    -Start from dead hang - 3 reps
    -Start from thighs - 3 reps
    -Start from ground - 3 reps
    Do 3 rounds

    WOD:
    1-1-1-1-1-1 Front Squat
    Start with weight you finished Pos Drills

    135-155-175-185-195-205

    Notes: I needed to put more weight on. 205 was getting heavy, but I had plenty left in the tank.

    What Improved: I was able to notice and correct mid-rep that my form was messed up/

    What to Work On: I need to make sure that I keep the weight on my heels. When the weight gets heavy I tend to lean a little bit more on my right knee which then shifts the weight to the front of my right foot. It's minor, but I don't want this to become a major problem and cause knee issues.

  • It Was Bound to Happen Workout

    After 16 months of CrossFit, I finally and fully missed a box jump during a WOD and tore up my shin (photo coming). At least I made it count as it turned white and immediately started to swell a bunch. I actually had to sit/wait almost 5 minutes before I could get back into the WOD.

  • If At First You Fail on the Box Jump, Don't Worry Because Your Asshole Coaches Will Bring Them Back Soon Workout

    ^ This was FUN! No, for real. Only two of us (Joanie and I) have hand stand push ups but, today, Alan taught us how to do kipping HSPUs. So, Joanie and I practiced those and it was a blast! We both picked it up (pretty) quickly and, although they were exhausting, it was crazy fun learning to do them this way.
