“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Christina gave me a tip about not pausing at the bottom of my lift to take advantage of the elastic energy stored in my hamstrings. I’ll take that for next time. Once again I matched an old PR but didn’t surpass it.
I have the same problem. I get to the bottom and then get stuck. Hudson caught me pausing and told me not to, but I kept doing it. Maybe next time it’ll click.
At Crossfit Orange Beach (ha):
Made up a WOD of run ~1 min, do 20 pushups from Romar Beach to Perdido Pass and back (~1.5 miles maybe?). I got some weird looks, and I heard some guy say “that’s some P90X shit” as I went by despite the fact that I wasn’t sitting in my living room watching a DVD. Lisa did 100 burpees in 8:28.
Exchanged front squat for push press. 65, 70, 75, 85, 95f, 90f, 80.
