SNATCHES- 5x3 FOR WEIGHT

011509- 70, 75, 80, 80, 85

Lately when I get the hips moving right on these and cleans, I pull too early with the arms...really I think the whole problem is slowness in the hips. I'll have to work on that. I could've probably went heavier, but since things weren't quite up to par decided not to so I repeated the 80 and only went up 5 pounds on the last set. I can live the numbers and know what I need to work on.

DIANE-

DEADLIFTS (155#)
HANDSTAND PUSHUPS

21, 15, 9 FOR TIME.

111609- 7.16 155#DL & HSPU (with hooked feet)

I took 31 seconds off my time from last time with the same modifications. I was however going further down in my HSPUs compared to last time. I don't typically mind handstand pushups, but my cold is still lingering in the lungs or I probably could've taken a little more time off. Since I can already hold the position agains the wall before the end of the year I would like to be doing these that way.

CINDY- AMRAP (as many reps as possible)
5 PULLUPS
10 PUSHUPS
15 SQUATS

011709- 8+pullup (jumping blue bands)

I have the same problem with the squats as far as time goes as on the cleans and snatches...my hip movement is slow. I'll have to work on that. Beyond that my time factor here is pushups. Today in particular because I injured my shoulder on death by burpee but it had felt so good I didn't think about it. Doing this workout really made it apparent that the shoulder did not heal.

It hurt the worst while doing the pushups, but made it very difficult to raise my arms to the pullup bar. By the time I finished I could hardly raise my arm at all without pain. We did some shoulder/chest streching to try and ease the pain.

I ended up taking naproxen to ease the pain for the remainder of the day. Today it once again hurts pretty good. Picking up anything much heavier than the phone receiver reminds me not to use it. Hope it feels better for tomorrow.
