OHS
1-1-1-1-1
10 min AMRAP
10 KTE
20 sledgehammers
lunge to/from each station
Results
3 rounds. Not too happy with that as I was shooting for 5 but my body gave out quick. Brannon helped my swing on the KTE and that helped a ton. It's more of a kipping swing than backward/forward. Still can't quite get as high as necessary but as my diastasis heals that will hopefully get better.
OHS. Grumble grumble. These are so awkward for me. I find that no matter where I hold the bar my hands and wrists get tingly and numb. Even with the PVC pipe. I asked Brannon about this and he suggested that I hold the bar higher in my hand. I was gripping it more in my lower palm, along the line of my thumb, and he showed me how to grip it higher, around where my callouses are. What a difference! Instead of supporting the weight with my wrists I could now hold it up correctly with my shoulders :) I also need to work on opening up my shoulders and getting more flexibility so I can control the bar forward and back as I squat.
Limiter: I think my overall limiter today was my flexibility. Gotta Gotta Gotta work on that. My lower back needs to be looser so I can throw back my hips to kip and my shoulders need to be more open so I can adjust my OHS. Might need to look in to some yoga classes at the gym...
