    A- 45kg after advice that my shoulder is technically rooted. Hopefully will have it sorted in the next month or two.

    B – 3 * 5 unweighted.

    C – 8:14 with the blue ball (sorry bec… Somebody stole the ball I had taken out :-( ). First time maintaining T2B for a whole WOD and I felt it… Great session.

    B: 3 x 5 (1 set with 2.5kg)

    C: 8:50 Red Ball

  14. A: 3×5 @ 40 focusl on technique had my head thinking way too much about this one kept trying to jerk it, once I started to work it out had a crack at 1×5 @ 45

    B: 3×5 @ 16kg 1st time making all 3 rounds chin over, next is chest to bar

    C: 7:50-ish nice and cold morning couldn’t feel my hands when I finished! Good times

    B. orange band 6, 6, 6.
    C. 11.24, felt good tonight. I still run like a girl.

  16. a 70kg
    b 16
    c 8:05. whatever.

  17. A. 2 rounds @ 40kg only 3 in the 3rd round kept stuffing around with the hand position.
    B. 3 body weight dead hang pull ups then 2 then 1 weighted 2.5 kg yay ! First weighted pull up :) Thanks
    Amber :)
    C.too slow with the t2b but managed to do full each time. 2 rounds 10 wall balls not sure what weight ….it was the newer blue one.

  18. A: 5×40, 5×50, 5×55, 5×55, 2×55 (including one to the chin!) – failed last set so need to focus on technique and stability

    B: 3, 3, 2 (un-weighted) – only just did my first proper PU’s (no band) the other day so very happy with grinding out 3 reps a few times

    C: T2B happened a few times, progressed to floppy leg lifts. Ran through the door a few seconds overtime. Looking back – I could have probably done a faster run time by power walking!

  19. A: 55kg – wasn’t exhausted by the 15th rep of the 3×5 .. Probably could have pushed it to 60-65.
    B: Red band pullups 6,4,3
    C: 10:55 – Rowing instead of running, half squats with wallball as recovering from injury

  20. A. 5@35- 3@37-4@36
