Did an alternate wod at Crossfit Atlanta. The new gym hours for this weekend were just too early for me! haha

Back squats at 73#
3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 (rest one minute in between each set)
The point of this was to go slowly down into the squat and then once you get to the bottom of the squat you try to push through the heels and move up with the weight as fast as you can and then go immediately into the next rep. Trying to get momentum out of the bottom of the squat was a challenge. Kind of a different way to do back squats and since I often associate these wods with taking a lot of time, it was nice to be done fairly quickly.

So glad to hear LaMar is doing well! I hate that I missed seeing him compete.

I must say, you shocked me with how fast you got through those DeadLifts!! I think like 5 dudes got down the hill before you, but only 1 or 2 finished before you…impressive Dude!

I really appreciate the encouraging words everyone…it means alot. I’m about five feet away from my couch so I have to keep it short…today was grueling, fun, and an amazing experience. Damon was my anchor throughout the day and Michael S. ran down the hill with me during the last wod which made all the difference in the world. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

OK, his last WOD is done…
For Time:
Approx 60m uphill sprint (w/120# Sandbag)
10 Over the shoulder Cleans w/sandbag
Sprint back down hill w/sandbag
20 Dead Lifts 315#

5:06

Fastest time was just over 3:30 and many guys failed to finish before the 10 minute cap.

So far the total results for today aren’t complete, but naturally there has already been some confusion and discrepancy in the results so far…He’s doing well, but we’ll see.
