Make it better....


Two of our EHT members play w/ Turkish Get-Ups - Tony and Hannah
(Tony - be sure to where more clothing in the next vid.  A little too intimate for my taste, but fun nonetheless.) 


Skill:
HSPU
7 min
Up and Down Ladder Unbroken
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Should be difficult - add ROM!


WOD:
"Merciless"
12-9-6-9-12
Deadlift 245/165lbs
Wall Ball (2 for 1's) 20/14lbs


Post HSPU ROM, time and thoughts to comments.


Wall Ball (2 for 1's) - Complete thruster w/ Med Ball, then complete an air squat while ball is still in the air.  Every Wall Ball requires 2 full squats before the ball reaches your hands.

Hey Nick, I like how the WODs are posted up earlier but I just noticed that the dates for the workouts are wrong... this crazy wall ball workout says its for monday but it should say tues

Lyssy said...

Thanks for posting earlier! Now I don't have to stay up so late every night! :-)

Steve M said...

I thought the same thing about not having to stay up late but here it is...after midnight again and here I am just checking in on the WOD again..off to bed now

OHSQ and Deadlifts on back-to-back days??? The two movements I HATE THE MOST ... so much for cherry-picking.

kellynino said...

i hate 2 for 1s!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

HSPU - couldn't get past the round of 4 on the way up ... FRUSTRATING !!!

WOD - 8:48 (20lb ball / 225 DL)

Lesson learned today: don't let the peer pressure get to ya. I thought i could hang with the big boys and started w/225, only to backtrack to 155, then 135 mid workout.

HSPU on 24"box w/45plate, WOD:19:56,w/14lb ball, 2 for 1's are killers....

Anonymous said...

HSPU used 1 abmat and 10lb plate.

WOD-rx'd 11:56, 2 for 1's are the best..NOT!! Definitely need to practice those..Patrick, way to fight through the workout!! See ya's tomorrow:)

Just watched the video ... if I made ALL the comments I want, I'd be banned from the Blog FOREVER !!!

Good stuff nonetheless.

Mimi, just know that I am restraining myself but REALLY wish you knew what I was thinking !!!

HSPU got through them on the 20" box. finally feeling like i'm getting the hang of what they're supposed to look like.

WOD: 10:36 (started out at 95lbs but went to 85lbs, started out with 10lb med ball, went down to 8lb). Frustrated after two craptastic workouts in a row. Michelle thanks for pushing me through it and switching my weight! AND you'd be happy to know that I practiced my DU's when I got home..getting better at em!

kelli g. said...

Awesome job today 4:30!!! Michelle thanks for all the encouragement it really helped me get through those dead lifts!
HSPU 2 abmats had to repeat 3rd set on way up. Unbroken after that.
WOD: 8:36 95# deadlift 10# wall ball.

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

Great job afternoon crews! Way to push through!

Mary and Kelli, glad to help! Mary, glad the DUs are feeling good :)

E, had a great time partnering up with you! Nick, thank you!!!

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

P.S. Tony, thanks for the "lift"...lol :)

Casey O said...

time: 8:35 i added a sec because i like the number 5
125lb deadlift (looking pretty weak workin out next to sammy) 10lb wallball
gotta love those wallballs...
hspu wise i can't really tell you what i was doing..3 abmats? 2? 1? got one with 2 abmats without touching the wall, probably my proudest moment of the day

good job 5:30!

Jax said...

Those 2 for 1 wall balls killed me. Got smacked in the face twice.

125 lb DL and 14 lb wallball: 10:37

As far as the HSPUs....I let Michelle help me on the wall, and I did a few HSPUs!!! It was with 3 abmats, but I know when I finally get over my fear of being upside down, I'll be able to do better. At least I feel like there has been progress made today. I tried just about every variation on the box, and it is just too easy.

Thank you Michelle and Nick.

I wish I could be there tomorrow, but I guess I'll just have to see everyone Thursday!

HSPU: got to the 2s on the way down the ladder and decided to increase the ROM from floor to hands on 45lb plates down to the floor. got 1 rep but couldn't get the second.

WOD: 9:50 RXd, wall ball 2fers are earning the same level of affection that I have for burpees. Probably rested too much
