JT....yup same here...last time i worked on my own mountain bike and messed it up to the point of realizing i should have taken it into the shop in the first place....when i picked it up after it was repaired they told me "next time you work on your bike first we are charging you double"

JT, they are asking where you went on the Facebook CF Masters page. Your video on loading and unloading plates for 14.3 was very popular.

@Claw
I am serving a self-imposed weeklong banishment from the group for my unprovoked disrespect of another member. As a lawyer and writer I made a promise to only use my writing skills for "good", so whenever I cross over to the dark side and criticize someone I serve out my own punishment/reminder. I have donated the time I would have spent on FB to pro bono legal work. My suspension is up tomorrow at midnight. Some day I hope to learn better.

I felt slow and weak today, maybe related to yesterday's 1:15 hill walk?

goblet squat and pass throughs

snatches and C&J
5 each at 45#, really focusing on chest and butt rising at same time
5 each at 65#, ...
5 each at 95#, ...
Just didn't feel like I could go any heavier.

back squats
5x45#
5x135#
20x225# (this felt like the hardest thing I've done in a long time, I have no motor left, have to transition back into high intensity interval training as soon as I get back from Peru)

@Cliff, yes when my wife calls the (plumber, carpenter, handyman, anyone who handles tools) the first thing they ask is "has JT tried to fix it yet?" I know they are basing their rates on how badly I exacerbated the mess...

UD 60, OSU 59 Go Flyers!

Held a goblet squat two minutes.
Did 10 pass throughs.
Held a 45# OHS for 15 seconds, then did 10 OHSx45#

Cindi Has A Rope
buy-in
25 wall balls (got them unbroken)

5 rounds, for time:
3 pullups
6 push ups
9 air squats
12 single unders
3 double unders

The sun went behind the clouds during the metcon so I wasn't able to record my time on the sundial I was using. I have NO motor. All this Oly lifting has made me strong, and all the training for Peru has got it to where I can walk uphill for hours on end, but I got so gassed I didn't make even one round unbroken... Will certainly need to address this when I get back from Peru.

Tweaked my back last Thursday on a mtn bike ride. Not sure what I did; probably happened putting my bike back in the truck. :rofl: The next day, my back just did not feel right for doing swings or snatches. Laid off the swings until today but alternated presses and get ups for a couple workouts. Also skied three days at Keystone Monday-Wednesday. All three days were good but the snow in the trees yesterday was awesome!

First full day of spring.

Lots of random things....

coaching, encouraging, screaming, snatching (hit a PR), talking, plotting, coaching, laughing with the kids, an all round good day in the sunshine on the north coast.
