Coach Kyle teaches a beginner class the Turkish get-up, starting with just a shoe to check that form is correct before weighting the move with a kettlebell:

Here’s what’s on tap for Friday’s beginner WODs at HR:15 and HR:30

B: 15 minutes, as many rounds as possible of:
Thrusters (65#/43#)
Pull-Ups

    Sky Shepard: 8:12 shouldn’t have scaled it.

    A: 130-165-185
    B: 105-115-115
    C: 19
    D: Subbed pushups, 26

    Coach Ryan Fashion Update: The blue shorts are back (no joke: I’m jealous)

    Coach Ryan Ego Update: “My shoulders are like pretty huge, so it’s difficult to find T-Shirts that fit properly”

    Now for something helpful: a video my trapeze-ing friend https://twitter.com/#!/RobTrapeze sent me on how to make tape grips. I don’t bother trying to do toes-to-bar without them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeSKo-mFUs8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

      Jon, since Coach Ryan’s shoulder are so huge we might have to combo the fashion and ego and get him Coach Tank Tops. Thoughts?

      • KevinBoul

        “I’ve been doing so much upper body work it looks like I’m wearing a baby gap T-shirt.” Coach Ryan

      • joncoffey

        The only logical solution. We should have a fundraiser to help him replace his entire wardrobe. Like Fight Gone Bad, but for sleeveless shirts.

        What about the Open shirts? Is it too late to change the order to tanks?

  • Justin

    A: 135# – 145# – 155#
    B: 75# – 95# – 95#
    C: 11

    Tomorrow sounds like a disguised Fran to me!

  • Erica C

    A: 90# – 90# – 95# – An improvement from last week.
    B: 40# – 40# – 40# – Also an increase in weight from last week, but had to do press pushes starting in the second set. Sad face.
    C. One day my toe may encounter the bar
    D. Didn’t have time to try. Another sad face.

  • KevinBoul

    A: 135#-145#-155# these went really well

    B: 75#-75#-75# still weak in the shoulders

  • Dave B

    DL – 135 lbs all three sets, Press, 95, 115, 135 and did not find my max, seems shoulders are stronger then the last time. Did not count toes to bar or ring dips but beleive it was 15 or so each.

  • Michael S.

    Apparently being able to pretend like you are diarhea-ing on the wall is perfect form for the deadlift. Thanks, Sully!

    155-165-165 for Deadlift
    125-125-135 for Push Press
    18 Toes to Bar
    12 Ring Dips

    D: 23 parallet
    A little tentative on the dl. Terrible at t2b.

  • Anthony A

    Worked up to 165 for deadlifts, 115 with the shoulder press. Need to keep my ass out on the deadlift and the bar closer to my face on the press.

    Did 18 toes to bar but only 6 in the last 30 seconds, my grip couldnt hold it
    Did 13 rings to bars and 11 after 30 seconds and basically hit failure

    Not happy about missing tomorrows workout
