Question for the Ladies, RE: Glute Ham Developer & hormones

[Emily Manship]

Hi Everyone,

I think this might be my first post, but I am on about 1.5 yrs of CrossFit. Any how--to my point.

I have only done GHDSU one time before. I didn't love them... but I did them. It was in Mr. Joshua (Five rounds for time of: Run 400 meters, 30 Glute-ham sit-ups, Deadlift, 15 reps). I got some pretty intense soreness in the gut from them, but nothing near Rhabdo as I a listen to my body well, hydrate and rest as needed.

I see there are GHDSU in the programming for tonight, and at a much lower volume (like 10 3xs, whew). This time I have my period. I am already bloated and sore in the gut. Has anyone done GHD during your cycle? I never have, and I was just curious what your experience may have been like. Any tips you might have for me?

well it didn't kill me, so it must not be a big deal (O:

It's kinda creepy that you feel compelled to comment on a question about menstrual cycles.

surprisingly I am not creeped out by a guy responding. I know a very smart biologist crossfit coach that is a male and he know a LOT about the human body. I probably should ask him what he thinks. Also a male yoga student of mine gave me natural remedy for cramps today and I will give it a shot... though it would be kinda cool for Jeff Enge to experience GHDSU while he was on his period.
