It was fairly chill, but I’d just spent 18 hours driving back from the Alps so I didn’t want to push it.
Yea back on it this week. Im gonna see it out until mid April atleast, mostly because I had to sign up for 3 months, but want to give it a fair crack before I reassess my training going forward.

I find it weird that this still throws me for a second, even though:
A) I know pinky is a beast.
B) I lift and log in kilos myself.

For time:
1000m row
50 thrusters - 20kg
30 pull ups
Managed 7:00, had to split the thrusters into two sets, too much quad pump after the rowing. Managed the pull ups in one set, kipping obviously, not doing 30 straight strict.

Pinky you are a beast.

Clean + split jerk

100 x (1 + 2)
105 x (1 + 2) PB
110 x 0
110 x (1 + 0)
Sprained my thumb bad on the missed 110, weak pull, shit catch, dropped forward still holding the bar and my elbow hit my knee, so my forearm trapped vertically between knee and barbell with all the weight on my thumb. Ouch.
I then managed to power clean the weight, but couldn’t hold the pressure to press it.
Lack of operational thumbs kinda threw a spanner in the planned works

It hurts my hip to even think about a thruster. My brain will always blame CrossFit for my hip flare up after hip surgery.
It’s funny how you can be oblivious to something for years, but then you’re made aware of it and suddenly you can’t ignore it. I never knew I had bad hip structure until my injury. Now I can’t do deep squat like moves without imagining my femur grinding against my pelvis.

U must the unluckiest % of the population who’s hip joint genetics is impingement in every deep squat style.
I feel your pain man, the only thing that ever hurts when I squat, and limits my squat volume, is hip pain.

It hasn’t always been painful and it’s only slight. It’s just not worth tearing up my joints for a hobby. I saw the inside of my left hip when they repaired my labrum. The cartilage on the ball of the femur was chewed up and red. The red was blood.
I was told my right hip is probably the same based off x-rays. That labrum is also torn.
It’s not worth a hip replacement.
The thing with thrusters, wall balls, and full cleans is that you drop pretty fast into the hole because you don’t have energy to waste on a slow eccentric. It’s also faster and most WODs are for time.
And I don’t think I’m in a small percentage of people with poor hip structure. I’m just part of the group that learned about it through an injury. If you’re sitting in the surgeon’s office and you ask him how to avoid coming back then you listen to the answer. My answer was to avoid hip flexion below parallel. I did front squats about seven months after surgery and guess what - I aggravated my hip and spent another 8 months sorting that out.

This log makes it hard for me to think negatively of crossfit. I mean, I still do it, but it is hard.

The recommended weight for deadlift was 100, but I decided to go for some big dick energy and back myself for 140 unbroken ha.
Even with the heavier weight 21 deadlifts were easier than 21 Burpees.
Burpees are stupid
What was the recommended weight for women?
Pinky’s log always reminds me how weak I am- great ego check 
60kg
It helps that I weigh, literally, more than double what you do
