For the BS is there a percentage of our 1 rep max we should be aiming for? Also, should the weight be the same for all sets or should we go up each set?
Joe and I have gone a few times. The trivia is fun, but the atmosphere at Rapture is not great. They do the same trivia on Saturdays at Baja Bean on the Corner. That one’s usually more fun, but both are good.
Found out tonight Russell is not even going to be here for this one. I think we should have a Russell only girls WOD in the near future. We can all cheer him on.
155×5, could have been a bit deeper.
did 12 wallballs @ 10lbs, (used red band), something funky happened to my knee 15 secs before end of wod and had to throw in the towel. *le sigh*
BS: 133×2, 143, 155×2
WOD: 18 wallballs. Working on making the ring dips as close to rx as possible = not a lot of time for wallballs. 10 rx dips, 15 one loop of the red band, 5 full red band.
Dave wanted to make sure everyone was aware of my poor wallball technique. Thus a sad face next to my name on the whiteboard. Very inspiring.
WOD: 31 wallballs @14# (subbed only 10 [realllllly ugly] ring dips instead of 30… but that’s still 4 more unassisted ring dips in a WOD than I’ve ever done before)
BS: 89#
WOD: Probably 5 actual strict wall balls. Maybe 15 if we’re not worrying about it reaching the tape or touching the wall or anything that makes it an actual wall ball
(Ring dips with heels on box, 6#) Aaaaand it’s back to box dips for a while…

have to make this more complicated. how many minutes between sets?
Being that this is the begninning of the cycle, going with a comfortable, moderate weight is just fine. You have six weeks to make it heavy.
But, if you would like to approximate it with previous 1RMs:
http://www.elitefts.com/documents/prilepins_chart.htm
3×5 = three sets of five reps at a sustained weight (ex. 250, 250, 250)
5-5-5 = three sets of five reps attempting to increase the weight with each set (ex. 245-250-260)
start at 60 to 70% of your 1 rep max if it’s established. try to work at the same weight, but if it’s too easy move up.
BS: 111, 121×3, 133
WOD: 52 WBs (Toe Ring Dips)
BS: 155# still have a tiny knee dip I need to look out for
WOD: 52 35# db swings after the row and 30 (gimpy) push ups
RANDOM NOTE: has anyone been to the pub trivia night at Rapture? Is it any good? Any interest in doing trivia on Thursday?

Why do we almost never do the “Girls” anymore?
We did three last month which is about normal for our programming.

This was meant in the nicest possible way. The new wall ball form is looking stellar.
