Good Things Come In Small Packages

OMG YES CONGRATS! That was such an awesome pull.

Also you look really good. Like your legs and shoulders and everything hnnng

Thanks Em!!! I want 300 now!! inb4 I'm greedy

You getting the rain up there in Ft. Fun? Hasn't stopped down here yet today.

OMG it's sooooo soggy out here! Hasn't stopped since yesterday afternoon

[LadyLore420]

You getting the rain up there in Ft. Fun? Hasn't stopped down here yet today.

I've spent an hour cycling in this rain.

I mean, I'm not complaining. Lawn's gonna be green, and at least the city isn't burning down like usual.

It's just that I see the rain go down, and I leave on the bicycle to go somewhere, and as soon as I leave, it starts pouring crazy again. Like wtf?!

[penny0527]

I don't wanna cut either, but I think having to be in a wedding dress might inspire me to get mt a$$ in gear in a few months!

DL was conventional, good eye

I'm going to train conventional for now. It is more of a power position, and I think since I had only trained heavy sumo for so long that I feel powerful with a wide stance because it's comfortable, but it's actually not more powerful. Conventional will transfer to highland games more- specifically weight over bar and sheaf.

And give you hips a break

7/30/14- Mix

Warm Up
Foam Roll- low back, quads, hams, glutes
Air Squats 2x10
Ankle Mobility
Hip Stretches
Row x 5min
Ham stretch
Quad stretch

Circuit
5 Rounds, 20 minutes

3 Front Squats @ 95, 105, 115, 125, 135
6 Kipping Pull Ups (singles)
100 ft reverse sled pull @ 135lbs (facing the sled, walking backward)

Agility
Ladder
10 drills
2 ladders/drill

Notes
-Tore my fuking callus on the first pull up, bled all over the place, kept going.
-Psoas tightened up on front squats, became almost debilitating.
-Had to rest/stretch in between ladder stuff. Almost didn't finish but I'm stubborn and learning to work through the pain. Maybe not the wisest decision of my life.
-Between hands and psoas I'm a mess. Ibuprofen and ice are in my future, and maybe rest tomorrow. Which blows because the workout itself wasn't even that bad.

Edit- Pics

And no, I don't wear my ring when I lift

You might want to start adopting a hand routine Those calluses should be shaved down every week, and an intensive moisturizer applied every day. And these for when you do pull-ups: http://www.wodshop.com/just-another-...-1-pair-green/. Apart from my knee sleeves, those grips are the single best thing I've ever purchased for myself. They move with your hand on the bar and don't bunch up like traditional grips or tape. And you can use them even for barbell work when your hands are sore from a tough day on the bar. You can thank me later I haven't had a tear in well over a year, but I baby the s**t out of my hands. The reason you tear is b/c the thick skin gets smashed between your hand and the bar and has no other option but to tear. Remove the thick skin and you remove the problem. I shave my hands every Saturday night.

Really? I've never thought about that. I thought the calluses were good, but that's what thinking gets me.

Will definitely get on this!

I'll need to start doing this. I tore 1 big callus last week, and one this week. If I didn't need to throw it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I need to use my hands, dammit! So you shave your hands with a normal razor? Anything special? Do you soak in warm water first to soften them? Intensive moisturizer.... I wash my hands about 100 times a day, so that's going to be tough!

-Hands hurt still, got some gloves to protect them a little
-Speed press was easy and fast, I attribute that to doing so many banded speed presses

[penny0527]

2.8 seconds for three reps :-O

[BubsNBean]

2.8 seconds for three reps :-O

Yes ma'am. Tried this on deads and couldn't get below 3.9s. They were deficits though, and I haven't trained them for speed like I have bench press.

That seems really fast but I have never timed mine to compare

It does seem really fast, but it was also fairly light. You should try it, you might surprise yourself

I use a callus remover (you can get one for free if you buy those grips, actually) or a PedEgg (looks like a cheese grater for your hands/feet). Works like a charm.

that's hot!

lots of lotion (lube) works for me.

Speedy benching girly. You using one of those fancy movement sensors to get your times?

Like, flying? No. Booty and shoulders firmly planted on the bench.

oooh, enticing!!! I know the ped-egg thingy. I should probably do something about the existing calluses while waiting for these torn ones to heal. Tried gripping the pull up bar last night just to dead hang for a stretch, my hands told me to fuk off!

Cheese grater + Lube = Baybay soft hands

Notes
-This workout doesn't look like much, but holy fuk it was the hardest I've done in a looong time.
-Pulling coach across the gym was absolutely brutal. He put the green band around my waist and had the other end behind me, pulling as hard as he could against me. I tried to run across the gym and back while he did this, but it was more like a horse pulling a 10-ton cart and moving his legs like a damn cartoon while going nowhere. I sh!t you not. So hard.
-Proud of myself for the Atlas Stone

[LadyLore420]

Holy friggin volume O_O

Gerdermn. She stole mer squerts.

[Fawnl]

Omg, ouch at the callous tear bubs!!!

I was at a crossfit competition (Just mirin) and they had a booth set up for this product called RIPT that was specifically for your hands. http://www.roguefitness.com/ript-skin-systems

Sh*ts supposed to work. I just scrape mine off in the shower and oil myself multiple times a day with coconut oil personally. Seems to work so far. I have to be careful about keeping softish hands or hubby won't let me touch his dick.

Ooh, thanks Fawn I'll check it out! I'm just bad about putting oil/lotion on so many times a day. I wash my hands so much I feel like it's a waste until I get home from work. I did some serious peeling yesterday and got a lot pulled off, but they're still just a touch ouchey!

Pretty impressive.
