Bill,

Thanks! Trying to slowly ramp things back up; the PT, long work hours / long travel distances, and fatigue have made even scaled WODs into challenges.

Speaking of injuries, sorry to see that you are fighting yours again. Hope the pull wasn't too severe and that you're back up to snuff soon. Great work, by the way!

[quote=Pat Quigley;829777]Stephen, as William says, good to see you back. You have been a source of encouragement to many of here. Guess you're gonna have to take some of your own advice---the hardest to follow.

Warm up 10" on treadmill. 3X10( pull up, squat, push up, sit up). Upper back stretches.

"Nate"

Complete as many rounds in twenty minutes as you can of:
2 Muscle-ups
4 Handstand Push-ups
8 2-Pood Kettlebell swings

Scaled: 2 Muscle up progessions (rings at chest height), HSPU's w. toes over bar at high chest height.

Completed 11R +2 MU progressions. This is a round more since end of last year and 3 rounds more that when I first did this last winter.:kicking0::kicking0::kicking0:

Used foam roller for 5 minutes at end of work out--esp on back.[/quote]
Pat,

Nice work on the "Nate" PR and in general!

Thanks for your encouragement! You are correct, it is hard to take one's own advice, but the lack of energy has rather self-limited my abilities to do myself much damage......:D. What I like is that I don't feel stronger, but things are starting to come a little easier. I'm gonna chalk that up to the PT and increased flexibility - - (don't mean to hold forth here.....)

Deb B.,

Like John B. said, you are putting in a lot of work! Awesome stuff you've got going on. BTW, the 15:10 on your WOD today strikes me as a pretty great time. That's a lot to get done despite the runs, which I'd be willing to bet you got through in or under 2:30 or so, give or take.

Question: by "hand jive" or hand release on the burpees and push-ups, are you referring to pulling your hands (barely) off the deck at the top of the push-up?

Also, what are "double burpees?"

Thanks!

Thanks! My reps were pretty good and I was happy about that. Hand jive - hand release at the bottom (people look like they're waving they lift their hands up so far ;) ) . Double burpee - two pushups per burpee.

The old injury hurt about as bad as I remembered it!:yikes: But stretching & hitting it with cold water helps ALOT! It's feeling MUCH better now!

Bill,

Glad the pain has subsided somewhat and you are still "functional." Great job on the Ammo Can WOD!
