[quote=Bill Houghton;1028292]Bill, how are your shoulders? The press is all about positioning for midline stability. Shoulder issues (flexibility, range of motion, pain) compromise positioning, midline stability and power. If that’s the case, your press won’t go up much. Huge amounts of pre-press warm-up (Mobility WOD) will help and continual work on the shoulders (Mobility WOD) will help.[/quote]

Bill-shoulders are fine. I don't have pain, range of motion, or flexibility issues. I'll try Mobility WOD warm ups.

[I]Front squats went well. Actually did 4 175#, but 2 were sloppy. Kept putting 10# plates on each side. Actually miscounted & thought the 215 was 205#. Got one & missed the next, but it was a PR& that's alright!! Amazing how mental this was!![/I]

Hi all.

Great front squat Bill. Nice PR. That is one of the more challenging exercises for me.

Clean and Jerk 2-2-1-1

9min AMRAP
1 Jerk 135/95
1 Sandbag shuttle run 64/32
2 Jerks
2 Sandbag shuttle runs
3 Jerks
3 Sandbag shuttle runs
etc etc

I did 140-140-160(f)-160(f). I need to work on my technique. I know I am strong enough and moved the bar high enough, just didn't get under it.

Did 115# on the AMRAP...6 rounds 9 reps

David - Thanks! It was mostly mental! I was happy it was above my weight! What helped me was focusing on keeping the elbows up! (I know. Hard to do with 150#+ on your rack position!!)

Wait, [B]Will[/B], what???

You can CLEAN 165# - and you said you pull it way too high and dont drop under (Im thinking crossfit so, pbly a pull to your chest or chin); isn't that essentially a pretty good power clean? (except of course, you do still have to drop under a Pclean). :D
And you have a 215# front squat...ahahahaha!!!
Im thinking your pclean is pbl 165 and your clean would be even more if you could master the tug and drop. beast.

Skills: Shoulder PT

On travel. Had to be creative on the workout. Shoulder progress is slower than I'd like but seems to be moving in the right direction. ROM is slowly improving, painful episodes are less frequent.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

2/1 WOD

5 Rounds of the “Bear Complex” for max load.
1 Round = 7x through the following sequence taking no more than 5 seconds rest on the ground.
- Power Clean to
- Front Squat to
- Shoulder to Overhead to
- Back Squat to
- Shoulder to Overhead.

75-95-105-115f-105
One of my least favorite WODs. Gave myself a no-rep @ 115# because I could not press out the shoulder to overhead after the back squat and because I took a long rest after 6 reps. When I deloaded to 105 I still was not able fully to press out the shoulder to overhead after the back squat. Interesting in that we were allowed 5 seconds rest on the ground. The effect of that was lots of dropping of the bar from the last overhead position, then resetting and doing another round. That mod allowed heavier weights than if we had to hold the bar the whole time (which taxes the hell out of the grip).

Woke up this morning, saw it was the Bear Complex and almost bagged it and went back to sleep, but I did not allow myself that easy way out. Now that I'm done, I'm glad I chose the wrench.
