Again, this is one of those workouts where you should really focus on your form. Do not go so slow that you lose any kind of intensity but really concentrate on good mid line stabilization, keeping your head and chest up, feet angled slightly out, knees over your toes, and crease of your hips below the bend in your knees.
For those of you Ranger wannabes check out Monday's post on the CrossFit Endurance Website about a new Ranger who used CF and CFE to get physically and mentally prepared. www.crossfitendurance.com

Great to see such a large group today. Thanks to Major Mayo for helping with form this morning.
95, 115, 135... I stayed at 135 for the other sets to work on my form. Thanks to CV for helping out.

first time doing these, little awkward but i'll get it. just tryin to catch up to dan and V...
thanks to MAJs Mayo and Blackmon for the help with form.
135lbs...tried 145 but was no go.
I did a "Virtual" Fran (unweighted) using PVC pipe afterwards.
time: 2:17 which cut my regular Fran time in half, which it should have. A little humbled though because the record for a regular Fran is 1:53 by Jason Kaplan so i have a ways to go. After the WOD, see what you can do when "strength" is not a limiting factor. Make sure you still achieve good form on thrusters. Enjoy!

Worked up to 135 during the sets of 2, and then brought it back down to 95 lbs for some work on form. Shoulders seem to go fairly quickly, so I guess mine are "active".

Tried to "hang out" down at the bottom of the squat to get a good stretch and really work my balance and stabilization muscles. Wanted to try 195 but THS took over.

These are the weights for both Dana and I. Our form has greatly improved since the last time we did OHSs.
We have been using the PVC pipes to become more flexible for warm-ups before workouts. Thanks to MAJ B for holding me to the standard this morning! thanks Sir.
OHSs are, by far, my biggest goat. Focused mainly on form this morning...got a lot of work ahead of me.

I spent the entire morning and 45 minutes this afternoon working on form with the PVC pipe and 95lbs. I feel much more confident in my form now.
